Default Re: 2016 Election

Speaking as an old codger, with my best days behind me, I have to say I'm extremely disappointed to read so much parroting of mainstream bullshit on this thread. Whatever happened to youthful questioning of authority and orthodoxy? Has BE's younger generation abandoned all willingness to doubt what they're told by their "betters"?

Trump's and Sanders's main attraction is not their respective policies but the bare fact that they offer themselves as alternatives to the mindless corruption espoused by all the other candidates. As the two major parties are learning, there is a rebellion "out there". It is being cleverly led by the two front-runners, whose supporters to a large degree don't care what their policies are. They are voting for their heroes out of rebellion; that's all.

If Trump is allowed to be the Republican nominee (meaning, if the powers that be don't assassinate him), he would beat Clinton very comfortably, because many Sanders supporters would switch to Trump. Yes, indeed: so-called socialists would prefer the rude capitalist than the corrupt establishment stooge. Make no mistake: this election is putting "the establishment" on notice that their days are numbered. Hence the very real fear of an assassination. Will that happen? It's better than even money, in my book.

No not sayinhg that but another was recently removed because of white supremicist involvement. He has led the kind of campaign that attracts some unsavory types. Hopefully in very limited numbers

About the same for me also. I've never yet in all the years I've lived here seen such a rotten choice. There should be an age limit on people running for President also. It's a demanding job needing lots of energy and perseverance. Sanders is way too old, Clinton looks tired out middle aged and that's all the Dems have to stand up against Trump

Isn't there an upper limit for youtube uploads? Maybe they can just do a live stream...

Where, and what, is this liberal press of which you speak? I've looked for evidence of it in the mainstream - couldn't find it....

Remember to whom you are responding. He mostly makes up stuff or posts very conversative links.

I guess it depends on your definition of liberal. If you think Hillary Clinton is liberal, then you can say the mainstream media is liberal.
