bernie sanders

caught a bunch of Bernie on cnn with Anderson cooper recently and wouldn't be surprised if he won out over Clinton, primarily because of a perception of her from the public that she isn't principled enough..............

whether she's principled enough or no, we won't say on this blog

Bernie makes the interesting point that during recent elections, only about thirty five percent of the eligible voting public actually voted, and only twenty per cent of young people.......... that's very telling

Bernie is jewish and he does not seem at all to be unhinged, not sure if he's jewish by conversion/religion or ethnicity or both.... however I assume it's both........... with a name like Bernie, and judging by how he acts.......... but that's just guessing........

he's definitely to the left..... I don't know what he thinks all the big corporations would do if he were able to tax them to his delight but I would think they would rearrange their affairs so as not be taxed in America, most likely by moving their head offices to Ireland or Luxemburg or whatever, which is what they do now to avoid tax...............therefore I doubt Bernie could tax them how he'd like to and close the loopholes even with a democratic majority in the congress which he wouldn't have anyway

keeping in mind Obama had a democratic majority and was able to push through Obama care........ both Bernie and Clinton both say they would like to pursue it and in Bernie's case, he'd like a system like in spain or Australia or many European countries

however, only in America can you successfully sue for malpractice fairly.... if you get your dicked chopped off in a botched circumcision, you'd be hard pressed to sue as successfully outside of America -- this is due to the American legal system itself with is very litigious and unlike the English system and other systems......... a big part of the expenses that Bernie mentioned in the American system are due to the massive amounts of money that doctors must pay for malpractice insurance in the event of the inevitable malpractice........

let me give you some examples of American life from the Bulgarian perspective.... all of these cases my wife reported to me or I heard them myself from Bulgarians in Bulgaria......... case one, one of my pupils in Bulgaria, in English language class, told me how one of his friends joined the u.s. military and got u.s. citizenship like that........ I also witnessed a case like that when living in Hollywood where at one point my bunk-buddy was an African fellow who'd done the same........... I too might have been able to enlist in the u.s. military and have gotten citizenship like that, if I could redo my life, that would have been a smart option, I can certainly tell you

my wife knew a Bulgarian woman that became a surgeon's assistant for the u.s. army and got u.s. citizenship like that, I saw a photo of her performing surgery at a u.s. military hospital in Germany with a surgeon at rank of colonel I think and all I could think was one thing looking at it: professional

another case, another Bulgarian, some Bulgarian lady gets sick in America, living there legally, illegally or semi-legally, not relevant.........racks up huge medical bills........can't pay them, decides to throw in the towel and go home to Bulgaria after many years in America, she knows that the u.s. justice department is not going to be able to extradite her from Bulgaria

what she didn't know was that she could have bought a fake resident alien card and a fake social security number with a fake name and changed cities (or stayed in the same city, changing address and using her new identity) and have stayed right on in America without paying her debt........... who needs the FBI's witness protection program when you know how to play the game?

this brings us to Trump...........very difficult to 'build a wall' as he puts it........the physical wall he can build, and he can say Namibia payed for it if he really wants to ........ but 'securing the border' is just like farting for Washington politicians, you get gas you fart or say 'secure the border' either way, it doesn't mean shit...........Trump will alienate very many Hispanics who won't vote for him but against him........and even if he wins, it's difficult to kick out all the illegals and illegal to ban people because they are muslims.........Trump himself, having children from three wives, by virtue of that, is, in fact, a moslem..........just as Bernie is a jew by ethnicity or conversion or both......... Benji has spoken (gavel hammer sounds)

on this level, it looks like Cruz or even Rubio would have to be the next president

but Trump has a very strong appeal to voters who do not care if he's a moslem or no and that is that they think he could fix the economy because of his business smarts........... and they know his talk about moslems and Mexicans is just that: talk! so we'll see! should be interesting

can't see Hilary winning the presidency and possibly not even the nomination, and that's not because I don't like her, I don't actually dislike Hilary at all.......... but i'd prefer Bernie over Hilary.... I actually like Bernie but I don't believe his far left politics could work, but they could be very interesting with a republican controlled congress for four years, that's for sure
