I trust Bernie more than other candidates to pursue his stated goals. Will he, like any president, have difficulty pushing their agenda through? Sure. Same as Obama, Trump, Bush, any president. Will those plans be enacted exactly the same as presented in the campaign? No.

But I trust Sanders (and Warren, almost as much) to pursue their stated goals and get as close to them as they can.

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

I Guess Steve Schmidt Didn't Watch Bernie's Town Hall Where He Said How To Pay For His Programs [View all] DanieRains Feb 2020 OP

Except that his "how to pay for his programs" was vague and non-specific. Schmidt was right. George II Feb 2020 #1

And it only covers about half of the expected costs dansolo Feb 2020 #35

Exactly. Happy Hoosier Feb 2020 #43

I'll await expert opinion as to whether it covers the cost and does not adversely impact Hoyt Feb 2020 #2

His "plan" includes magical numbers like $2.3 trillion in new income tax revenues he says highplainsdem Feb 2020 #4

There have been 22 studies that say Bernie's plan will saves lives and money. SamKnause Feb 2020 #6

Saving lives is a big factor, but not whole story. I'll await expert analyses. Hoyt Feb 2020 #8

So your not interested in the 22 studies and the Washington Post article ??? SamKnause Feb 2020 #11

I'd like to see analyses. We could save a lot of lives by spending entire GNP Hoyt Feb 2020 #13

I'd like to see what the assumptions are. Happy Hoosier Feb 2020 #44

Well for myself: Not really. MisterFred Feb 2020 #5

I don't own a TV but many threads relate to coverage Sander's is getting ChubbyStar Feb 2020 #9

Sanders evokes very little of that for me. To me BootinUp Feb 2020 #12

$15 Minimum Wage Passed Here DanieRains Feb 2020 #15

I do give him some credit, but not as much as u. Nt BootinUp Feb 2020 #18

So does he get credit for the failure of single payer to pass dsc Feb 2020 #31

That was an economic problem of economy of scale Arazi Feb 2020 #47

and didn't the state pass the $15 minimum wage dsc Feb 2020 #57

I like Pete... MisterFred Feb 2020 #16

Pete hasn't had decades at this. Nt BootinUp Feb 2020 #19

Right. So, uh, how do you judge him on what he has done? nt MisterFred Feb 2020 #20

I think the answer is obvious. BootinUp Feb 2020 #21

Ah. You stop judging on what someone has done and move on to promises. MisterFred Feb 2020 #22

No I leave it to you to research while my system restore BootinUp Feb 2020 #23

Okay. Firing a police chief that was rooting out racism in his department. Not good. nt MisterFred Feb 2020 #40

I trust Bernie less to ACCOMPLISH his stated goals dansolo Feb 2020 #36

That just ain't true. Half the time people dont BootinUp Feb 2020 #10

THIS x 1000!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #30

Sanders is only $30 trillion short Gothmog Feb 2020 #14

I'm sure Bloomberg will nail him on that in tomorrow night's debate. oasis Feb 2020 #26

Perhaps he could tax the 30 billion on Bloomberg alone jimfields33 Feb 2020 #38

Bernie's immediate problem is the tax on his own credibility in regards oasis Feb 2020 #39

Trillion, not billion. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #53
