    Pleasantly surprised that Bernie actually reiterated his criticism of Israel's "disproportionate response" (basically its policies in the West Bank and Gaza toward Palestinians) even after coming under fire for his national Jewish outreach coordinator choice that was suspended today for being deemed "anti-Israel".

    Especially when you take into account that Hilary was/is definitely more hesitant to criticize Israeli policies.

    Bernie's foggy, disjointed answers regarding his plans to break up the banks was interesting to say the least and Hillary's perspective on that was/is definitely more pragmatic.


    btw despite antagonistic skirmishes at times, tonight's Dem debate was essentially, a much healthier and clean debate than the GOP could even dream of mustering at this juncture in the election.

    It's not about Europe dictating our policies. It's about republicans in centrists clothing telling us what America can't do. If we're such the "superpower" why is it that all of these other developed nations are able to accomplish something we claim is impossible? Especially when evaluated per capita it's clear that it should be much easier for us to achieve than it was for them.

    We're talking about ? like universal medicare here. ? like, "why would we let Europe dictate our policies," defines juvenile thinking.

    ? yall can improve those systems and do better. Colorado's soft drugs/weed policy ? all over Holland's system for example. Why couldnt some states introduce a healthcare system that ? all over the Swedish One?

    ofcourse lobbygroups will try their best to Block such systems, it took quite a While before Colorado legalized weed, but in the end, such things are possible.

    http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-gop-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/04/poll-trump-david-duke-unpopular-221933
    Poll: Trump more unpopular than anyone but David Duke in last 30 years of presidential elections:

    Donald Trump is the most unpopular top-tier presidential candidate over more than three decades of ABC News/Washington Post polls, except for former Ku Klux ? leader David Duke. That's according to the results of the latest national ratings released Thursday, which did not carry too auspicious results for Trump's two Republican opponents, either.

    Two in three Americans surveyed in the poll — 67 percent — said they held an unfavorable view of Trump, while just 31 percent said they saw him favorably and only 2 percent said they had no opinion of him. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's favorability rating was marginally higher, at 36 percent, while 53 percent said they had an unfavorable view of him and 11 percent said they had no opinion. Ohio Gov. John Kasich made out the best in the poll, with 39 percent each responding that they had a favorable and unfavorable opinion of him, but 22 percent said they had no opinion either way.

    Trump's 67 percent unfavorable rating is nearly as low as the 69 percent of Americans who said they had a negative view of Duke in a February 1992 poll. Unlike Trump, Duke went on to receive fewer than 120,000 votes and zero convention delegates.

    Trump can't be too unpopular, he's still leading. So folks are STILL voting for his azzz.

    I think that's what the media is overlooking. They dishing out all these polls about how everyone hates Trump, yet the groups they say hate him, are voting for him.

    He's unpopular wit women...yet GOP women are voting for him.

    He's unpopular wit minorities...yet GOP minorities are voting for him.

    I've been saying for the longest it's not Trump who folks should worry about, but the people who's put him in the position to possibly claim the nomination. These are the people the GOP created. The same ones who are now turning against the "establishment".

    Them polls ain't doing s*** but addin more fuel to the anti-establishment fire.

    At the same time it's not like he's been getting the overwhelming support of the GOP voters. He has his niche following and for much of the race, the for lack of a better word, normal, GOP voters were split amongst 10 candidates. So with all the in fighting he was able to rise to the top. Anyone who thinks he has a shot at actually winning the presidency is nuts. He's going to get thrashed

    Trump is the best one in the race. Hilary is a globalist, Bernie is a socialist, Cruz is a evangelical, and Kasich is a fake.

    Black communities have been ? up by the Clinton crime bill, Biden Drug War, and establishment open borders policy. So I'll go with the guy everyone I hate is scared of.

    His cult following actually has the psychological profile of the typical authoritarian on average. I was reading about it in a pretty interesting article.

    Trump won't win but it's not going to be a duck walk either. It's going to be a tough race for Clinton and more than likely a close one too.
    Lol you already cut Bernie out? He is catching up slowly but still. He would be a better nominee to win the election.
