Sanders is exactly right on health care issues. We need to go after these pharmaceutical companies in medical suppliers who are charging such outrageous prices for their products. It's disgusting. It's just a legalized form of extortion. I could not be be a doctor because I wouldn't be able to lay my head down to go to sleep at night

I know that's what one would think, but you're underestimating just how many Dude's there are, and Bernie will be the one to energize them. Hillary getting nominated is better, the dirtier the DNC establishment does it, the better to disenfranchise the hardcore of the leftists.

Even if Bernie himself is a likable guy its the crowd around him, they will hijack his movement and it will be a leftist dystopia nightmare. Dude they even are cool with having straight up communism. What's further left of Obama? No not gonna have it, you should not even risk it just cause you don't like Hillary, that's ridiculous, do not risk a communist coup there's too much on the line right now.

Bernie is not good for to support, not even to stop Hillary, its not even just him, it's his crowd. You could see it when protestors hijacked his microphone earlier in the summer. Will not be having any hijackings by these insurrectionists with Trump.

Bernie is also for police reform and reform of our justice system, which is desperately needed in this country. This country has the highest incarceration rate of any country in the world. We need to demilitarized the police, stop the over policing of black neighborhoods. Statistically, white and black people use drugs that pretty much the same rate yet African Americans are twice as likely to be arrested for drug crimes, twice as likely to be pulled over for minor traffic infractions. African Americans also tend to get longer prison sentences for the same crimes committed by other ethnicities. Police officers are not being held accountable when they break the law and Bernie Sanders intends to solve this problem

So why give the government a free pass to do exactly the same thing?

No to Bernie. It's painful for the longtime GOPer to put aside their rivalry with the Clintons, but its better Hillary win than Bernie. Hillary isn't as bad as her enemies have portrayed her. We cannot even risk the hardcore leftists gaining power or getting energized enough to think they can gain power lest they riot when they fail to achieve victory.

As for 20 dollar deodorant, how about no.

Lol could support some cheap affordable and American Old Spice though, made by American company Procter and Gamble.

Another a good issue that Bernie brought up is that the Department of Defense has never been audited so they can pretty much do whatever they want. They could 10 million dollars on a roll of toilet paper and not have to answer to anyone for it

All we need is another government agency, if you recall the one they set up before was caught wasting billions and throwing big government expensed parties.

My concern is that none of the candidates, be it the Democrats or the Republicans, hardly are saying anything about the increase of federal power. My guess is that all of the candidates are going to establish new sets of government agencies, be giving them more money and take away states rights. Which one of the Republican canditates is a state righter? To me it looks like none of them are. Donald Trump? Now, he's a New Yorker, I have never seen a state righter from that place. Cruz? For a Texan he's taking too much interest in other states internal affaires. Bush? Maybe the one who will respect state rights, but I'm not sure. What about the Democrats? Sanders philosophy is making me think he is not much of a state righter, but again, I can't be too sure. And Hillary? Maybe she isn't that bad after all. I think I will have to take a closer look on her politics, and not let her shady brothers and family be overshadowing her.

The DoD, as with other Government Agencies, have numerous Inspector Generals who "audit/oversee/investigate" their activities on a daily basis. Did you not know that? I can understand Bernie not knowing........but........hmm

Do you even understand what his stance is? Do you understand the "Single Payer" system?

see, this is the key to the sanders and Obama's of the world : everything they say SOUNDS good, but if people only would engage their brains, and see what all the " free stuff" they promise really means.

Did you notice how the Dems use a funny math.
In NH Bernie got 60% of the vote and was awarded 13 deligates.
Hillary got less than 40% of the vote and got 15 deligates.
WIERD!

You (and Bernie) don't know what you are talking about here. DoD is the most audited agency in the US Government. I spent 10 years in Defense procurement, five of which were as an auditor. It might interest you to know that it is DoD audits that identify the ridiculously priced items such as $1000 hammers, $10,000 toilet seats, and one of my favorites, $50 rivets. If all other agencies (treasury, state, DHS, IRS, Justice, etc) were audited at one quarter the rate of DoD, the cost of government could be reduced by at least 20% (My guess).

The biggest problem driving the cost of defense is the political leadership and lobbyist and their pet projects. Most auditors can tell you stories of being called on the carpet of Congressional, or executive branch staffers for recommendations that were not in line with the staffer's boss's desires. Bernie, as well as most senators and representatives have been a part of the problem.

Please give us some "reasonable" reasons that we should not have a single payer system. All I hear is that we can't afford it. That's a cop out.
