What is the issue you keep coming to in this thread? I made a guest that you were concerned that Sanders has a race problem...but I get now that you can't say that out load or you might be flagged...so just keep putting up articles that say he has a problem with black people, immigrants. Is coming from 98% white state etc. I see now you can't say it so that''s OK. We'll work around it together. I'm won't try to get you bash Bernie any more...I get it. No more straw men from me. Or maybe I'm wrong. If you like, you could put up the real man so we can address your concerns. Is it even about Bernie Sanders or something else I'm missing? I see you are supporting my Senator Warren. She's great and I hope she can stay in the fight as she is the smartest of the 20 candidates so far.

What is the "HRC reference "Correct the record"????? Is that another secret code thing? (Just Googled this. News to me).

Sorry if you feel insulted. Not my intent. Just learning from the master. Using my shares to rebut my claims...gotta love it.

It's like you feel the force. Like you own the place. Love it.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Precisely. Why did he single out Vietnam and China and Mexico and Latin America? dalton99a May 2019 #10

Could be because these countries have the highest emmigration numbers. rgbecker May 2019 #12

No statistics were given by Senator Sanders, or reasons as to why he chose those ehrnst May 2019 #16

Maybe he felt there was a time restriction on the point. rgbecker May 2019 #29

Because he was aware many white Americans view nonwhite immigrants as a threat. dalton99a May 2019 #40

Those are also countries/places that are mentioned whenever jobs are outsourced. ehrnst May 2019 #43
