(15,224 posts)I've often wondered if they ever truly expected to get this far. I think when Bernie started, before he became so hostile, his purpose was to move the platform to the left. I'm not sure that I believe he has ever fully assessed what would be required of him to actually BE President.
When he's asked about his own agenda, he gives the same, tired answers - and somehow manages to get into every snippet how his average donation is $27! That doesn't tell ME how he is planning to deal with North Korea. He wants to break up the banks, but I've yet to understand what he'll do as replacement.
He wants to give free healthcare to everyone, which I applaud, but to do that, based on the information that he's given as to his proposals, will cost me $8,000 more per year in taxes with me reaping little to no benefit from that increased taxation. I can't afford that, and I am no where near wealthy.
If Kim Jong Un attacks us, I'd like to know that Bernie will be willing to do more than just have a group hug. Bernie never seems to answer that - he only repeats and repeats and repeats that he is against war. Well, we are ALL against war. But what would he do if war is thrust upon the United States and we have no choice about it.
I don't get a comfort level from him.
