First, I would never follow a leader that looks homeless. It just can't be. But put that aside.
Bernie insists he wants to concentrate on the issues and that's why he won't talk about his opponents. Wow, sounds good. Sounds moral. Only it's a crock of shit. It may work in the Democratic Primary, but you have to remember, in the general election, you will be dealing with the worst America has to offer, Republicans.
Republicans have spent tens of millions just during the Clinton Administration trying to find "something" and all they got was a blow job. Sure, there was an impeachment. A political stunt that never got farther than the house. Most reports put the cost just over 40 million. How much have they spent of tax payer money on going after the Obama Administration? Wanna bet, after it's all said and sifted, it will turn out to be over 200 million? The original cost of the Iraq war? Republicans want to run the country their way. They don't care if it hurts the country. Worse, the GOP base has no idea what their leaders are doing, even more worse, they don't care.
And it will only make Hillary stronger. The woman who took on the entire GOP ---- and WON! I can imagine her right now be called to testify and saying, well, Colin Powell had private email and George Bush had a private server during his entire 8 years of his administration. Well, not the entire 8 years. As soon as the case of outing a covert CIA agent that spoke out about GOP lies became public, the server was wiped and destroyed. Oops.
Now, I don't know anything at all about Bernie's private life, but if he is a slob now, I suspect he's always been a slob and that's why he doesn't want anyone to question his past. But they may not even have to. Bernie has described himself as a "socialist". The most basic definition of socialism is the government controlling production. Something that is absolutely anti American. Against everything the free market stands for. The government stepping in and stopping business from fleecing the American public, something Republicans totally support, or stepping in to keep necessary business from dying, like auto companies or helping with research is NOT government controlling production. What ever Republicans will have you believe.
You can't just "redistribute wealth". It's not possible. Money is taking something that has no real value and assigning it a value so it can be traded for things that actually have value. So much easier than trading two chickens and some apples for a pair of shoes. Spreading it around unearned reduces it to no value at all.
What we need to do is instead of just spending research money on new "stuff", we need to do some research on the kind of jobs needed by our society in this century. Some things are a given, whether it's being a plumber or being a scientist, you need education. No more 6th grade education is enough. We know there are over 5 million jobs open right now. Good jobs. What is being done to get people ready for them? Nothing. It has to be targeted. Just making education cheaper isn't enough.
Unfortunately, that's Bernie Sander's message. Socialist, redistribution of wealth, cheaper education and so on. Those are slogans, not serious policy. And that's why I think he may not make it past the GOP. And I wonder what they dig up on him.
The worst possible outcome is the GOP winning again and being worse than George Bush. Could you imagine worse than George Bush? A scary thought indeed.
