I know I shouldn't care this much, but god I'm pumped for the Iowa caucus. They're voting on Monday, and results should be in around mid-Tuesday afternoon our time. Bring it home, Bernard. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

It's a confusing smear, he's saying that people vote for that guy because he listens to what they want and gives it to them. He's not saying that he himself is a segregationist, he's saying that the people who voted in the 60s-80s in Alabama were and this politician is listening to the desires of the people.
Seems pretty straight forward but yeah, I can hear the attempted dog whistle from here. The establishment still hasn't learned after Trump that these smear attempts just galvanize support, proving that it's candidate vs establishment. |

^ Precisely! Every time Clinton (or someone else) has tried to stick the knife in, it's like it's just increased his support base. Seems like they haven't learned anything from 2016. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

He's already had recent heart surgery and is 5 years older than Trump.
Trump gets the wisearse remarks bout senility and dementia, but ole weekend Bernie turns 80 next year. Trump will be 78 or 79 when his second term as POTUS runs out.
Do you really want an 80 year old running anything other than a mobility scooter? _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Age is obviously a factor in this stuff – they're all old men – but cognitive decline is far from uniform. Trump and Biden are both obviously sundowning; Sanders still seems to have his faculties in good order. Watch them at debates and you'll see a clear difference (Biden stumbling over words and Trump going off on random tangents and losing his train of thought as opposed to Sanders' quick wit). I honestly don't know if Sanders can manage more than one term in office, but so long as he makes a good VP choice it won't matter (personally, I'm hoping he gives the nod to Rashida Tlaib: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfXd-NPfFDE).
Also, if we're talking physical health, have you seen Trump lately? His McDonald's-only diet is only going to take him so far, one suspects. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

I think you've fallen for lefty memes about Trump losing it, watch him at a rally; he's very high energy. |

Thank god that the Democrats are the party of the people and not just a party for the rich like the Republicans. Oh, wait, they've just changed the debate rules to accommodate a billionaire:

On one level, it totally stinks; on another, I guess it makes sense to have all the major candidates on the stage. But yeah, some talk that Bloomberg is going to get the nod as their man to take down Sanders if Biden falls apart (most likely via a brokered convention). _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

It is an interesting thought though, that by funding his own campaign and deliberately not asking for donations, he's not beholding to anyone. no carpet rash on the knees and no spillage on the blue dress.

I tend to concur with Wokko, methinks you're getting a tad sucked into seeing what you want to see here.
Case in point, his supposed Maccas only diet.

^ I read the first piece, and Jesus ... that's supposed to be good? I know I desperately need try to improve my diet, but even I eat better than that.
Speaking of Bloomberg not being beholden to anyone, guess who donated the maximum possible amount to the Democratic Party mere days before announcing his candidacy...

Sanders, on the other hand, primarily takes small donations from individual voters, so I guess you could say he's beholden to them. What a notion! _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |
