New Unrealistic over promising is how you build . . .
. . a cult following - like Bernie or Trump.

Bernie never did express a plan to come through with his promises.

New Thought experiment
I live on an island. There's enough local produce and fishing to survive (barely).

The island used to be the tip of a peninsula, but the causeway has been washed out and is now patrolled by sharks.

We agree that there's far more resources on the mainland. But in order to take advantage, I need to get there.

Bernie was talking about the great food on the mainland. Hillary was talking about building a boat.

New Nope.
She was talking about how the sharks weren't really that bad and how we couldn't do anything about them anyway, so the best course was to feed them and hope they'd let a few of us swim to the mainland because we fed them and they wouldn't be so hungry.

Bernie was saying, "Let's kill the sharks."

New Bernie's "let us" was just him. Nobody he needed would join him. Real life is a cruel mistress...

Hillary beat him.

Imagine that.

Bernie has one co-sponsor (so far) for his latest "single-payer" bill (Kamala Harris). Do you think he'll break double-digits this time?

Popularity means nothing if you can't win votes.

Repealing Obamacare was (nearly) universally popular with Republicans until the votes actually mattered. Then, suddenly, they couldn't pass a bill.

Funny, that.

Cheers,
Scott.

                 If Hillary had charisma - (drook) - (29) - Sept. 5, 2017, 06:28:47 PM EDT
                     It's the unconscionable lies about what Bernie promoted that troubled me. And they're repeated here. - (mmoffitt) - (24) - Sept. 5, 2017, 01:44:56 PM EDT

                                             Please don't misunderstand me. We want the same thing. We want Drumpf defeated. - (mmoffitt) - (17) - Sept. 5, 2017, 04:28:48 PM EDT
                                                 She lost because of Comey. Bernie had been a non-factor for months. -NT - (Another Scott) - (16) - Sept. 5, 2017, 06:18:12 PM EDT
                                                     I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about the almost half of Democratic voters who supported him. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (15) - Sept. 6, 2017, 08:11:07 AM EDT
                                                         Why not wait and read the book before making so many assumptions about it? -NT - (Another Scott) - (14) - Sept. 6, 2017, 08:23:08 AM EDT

                                                                     And lost. I'm telling you, listening to her is going to result in a Trump re-election. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (11) - Sept. 6, 2017, 09:41:03 AM EDT
