I don't agree with a thing he stands for, but he is an honest guy that is consistent about beliefs. At least he won't be campaigning from a cell like MG.

it's still amazing to me that it hasn't occurred to anyone in either of the major two parties that they could post a candidate that people don't find repulsive and lock up an easy presidential win.

i guess o'malley and prob some of the 'pub candidates no one cares about (kasich?, pataki?) aren't repulsive and no one wants to vote for them. so my thesis is probably wrong.

90% marginal tax rate, overregulation of "wall street", protectionist trade, overseas taxation, anti keystone, anti nuclear, financial transaction tax, anti immigration reform to start.

Not a single one of those things are repulsive in the eyes of the greater electorate. Those are policy items that people do are don't agree with. If repulsion speaks to how candidates fit with an individual view on certain issues then wouldn't you find like every person in the world repulsive? There are certainly issues I vehemently disagree with Bernie Sanders on but that doesn't repulse me. I despise Barack Obama's signature policy but that doesn't amount to repulsion. I'm repulsed by three current candidates, but three more; Hillary, Rubio, and Grimace, are speeding rapidly to repulsion.

Jealous, ignorance and sloth are repulsive characteristics. Every one of those policies is grounded in jealousy, ignorance and sloth.

Also, he couldn't get 1/3 of democrats to support his batshit crazy agenda, let alone 1/2 of congress. He's a less serious candidate than Donald Trump, and that's saying something.

Give me a break FSD, the republican party is split in two or even three, they couldn't even find a speaker without doing further damage to the party. In this political climate the ability to garner consensus is a laughable standard and you know it.

It should be the only standard. It wasn't this bad until the ideologue who preferred to gloat and politic rather than govern was elected president. He was so terrible, he could barely push legiation through a Dem controlled house and supermajority senate. The excuses for his instantly failed terms are pathetic, it's all his fault.

rough ridin' GHW got legislation passed at a time when dem speaker Pelosi was openly calling him a liar and a murderer. It's not that hard if you worry more about your job than spin and poll numbers.

It doesn't have to be this bad. Most of the candidates could probably get things done. Sanders wouldn't

It has occurred to me, and a lot of major GOP donors, who favor Rubio.

Refusing to acknowledge the obvious and denying the undeniable is becoming more and more common amongst the libs around here.

Remember when Bill Clinton said about the Obama campaign "this thing is a farce" when he beat her in Iowa and right before she cried at work to win New Hampshire? It's happening again this time she's sic'ing little adorable Chelsea on Bernie.

Poor ol' Hillary is going to go full ass mean granny any time now. The volcano is bubbling. First her big whoop of using Bill Cosby Clinton has flopped. Horseteeth daughter made a mule of herself, Joe baby is rattling her cage, and scruffy doodle wacker weiner Bern is overtaking her in the polls. The FBI will push her over the edge. Joe Biden for Prez.

i think it might have to do with the fact he appears the least scummiest. that seems to be a pretty big thing for people around my age, not being a scumbag.
