"He is exciting his audiences by making them angry....." No, his audiences are ALREADY angry. And people in Washington or the elites don't even relate to their suffering.

If Europe,UK and Canada has free health care, why don't we? Why do we have to die (30,000 a yr) or lose our homes because of a health crisis? Why are we #36 on the World Heath Org list?? Or...why do have to die because we can't afford our insulin??

The ultimate billionaire Jeff Bezos of Amazon didn't pay one penny of income tax for 2017 and 2018. (And there are hundreds/thousands more not paying their fair share.) But every time they get another tax break we seem to have to cut medicare, medicaid and social security??

This isn't contrived victimhood......this is real! Hello???

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