This guy sounds like a candidate for POTUS I can get behind. . . :spooked:
https://berniesanders.com/news/bernies-announcement/ (https://berniesanders.com/news/bernies-announcement/)
If he can mount a serious campaign against the super-pac funded opposition, then perhaps he will get onto the ballot.
Depending upon what I can dig up on this guy, he may very well get my vote instead of Hillary. . .
Granted, if we were to vote today Hillary would get my vote. But, there is a part of me that fears another 4 years of the same ol' same ol' for this nation.
In my honest opinion, this nation needs to shake up this blatant skullduggery within its political parties, and bring something more representative of the needs of the majority of the citizens of this nation as opposed to those of the 1-2% that own everything within it; inclusive of the government.
On the surface this guy sounds like that "something" to me. . . but we'll see.
I voted for Ross Perot because he made sense to me, (and in hindsight was 100% spot on), to no avail. Then again, with Korporate Amerika buying our government, my vote is less useful than toilet paper now. . . :mad:

I have read some things on him and liked what I read.
Well, as you darn well know, I would NEVER vote for this guy, but from what I know about him, he has integrity and is passionate. I would vote for him over Hillary in a split second's thought.
The real down side to him is he is a LIFE time politician.....

You are correct, I knew that about you and the first part of your response was expected; the second part, (quoted), requires some explanation though.
So the sitting POTUS didn't have enough experience according to you, and now this guy has too much.
Moreover, it would appear the entirety of the current GOP bus full of "wannabe's" have either this exact same problem or they are extremists.
- What exactly constitutes enough experience to you?
Great question!
My "ideal" politician or better yet POTUS, would be one who has had a vast amount of experience as a businessman and have a great knowledge of what is involved in running a business. Also couple that in with being a governor. Who understand budgets and being responsible for spending tax payers money. But, one who understands leadership is first and foremost.
With THAT being said, it is hard to find someone who fits that role these days.
Ronald Reagan was one who fit this description fairly well.
Unfortunately we have to pick from what we have available to us.

Bingo!
Ronald Reagan and David Stockman are the people who started the Trickle Down Theory. :doh: Which has been proved to be a total farce and fuck up. :yes: Years later even Stockman admitted that it was a farce and a con-game. :rant:
And Old Bird Brain Hawk think Reagan was a statesman. :no: Give me a break. :haha: :haha: LAFMFAO :rotfl:

You'd vote for a self-proclaimed 'socialist' over the Hill.
<sarcasm> Yeah, it's all about issues/positions to you. </sarcasm> :rolleyes:
That's like it's not about Obama being a 'nigra'...suuuuuuuurrrrrrrre!

LMATO!!!
Ronnie 'Ray-gun' a 'businessman'?!?!? You REALLY don't know shite from shinola.
Another point, you don't have a clue about either budgets or economics. NEITHER local or state government budgets or economics are ANYTHING like the federal government's.
State and local are similar to home and business budgets etc. as they must rely on income and borrowing and are limited by those constraints. They CAN go bankrupt.
The Federal government is NOT limited by those constraints. The Federal government is the issuer of currency and can just print more money if it needs it...as long as doing so does not create hyper-inflation. It CANNOT go 'bankrupt'.
So just remember, whenever your much adored RW/TP noize machine starts blowing off about the Federal budget, they're being both stupid and manipulative AND they expect you to be as stupid as you are and swallow the BS without complaint and regurgitate for your equally stupid friends...
...and that's what you get for being stupid! :yes:
