    Scary times would be having a narcissist compulsive liar get elected again......unless you are a billionaire, the gun makers, pharmaceutical companies, hate groups, or tax loops profiters I guess.

    Financially I've been doing pretty well and not in any of those groups. A moderate dem is the best bet, but will gladly ride the market on the short side if Bernie does win. Only problem would be paying higher taxes on my gains.

    Don't really care how the stock market reacts to elections, pestilence, or anything else.

    CNN polls

    +21 in Cal

    + 9 in Tex

    These two states at these margins alone would create a nearly 150 delegate advantage for Bern.

    Good video with Robert Reich, former labor secretary.

    On nothing. It's stupid rhetoric that is being pushed that somehow the democratic debates are correlated with the stock market instead of the fear of a global pandemic that is being downplayed by the Trump administration.

    Margin of error. Still probably have to factor in a few points for Texas’ repulsive voter suppression tactics though.

    FWIW Biden is up 2 points on Trump in Texas in same poll.

    They used new technology to scan ID or DL on the spot. I like it.

    We already know what hypocrites you and @cml750 are so it'll only be a gut punch when he wins. No worries bro...

    Seriously ... it’s such a careful what you ask for scenario I can’t even begin to explain to these guys.

    I’m not voting for Bernie on Tuesday myself but I definitely think he can beat Trump and I think they underestimate how much his supporters are going to be a thorn in their sides for who knows how long.

    This might be the most trump-tard thing ever.

    Bro Sanders wants to add 100 trillion dollars to the budget over the next 10 years but can only account for about 35% of it in his tax and revenue plans... where do you think that other 65% is coming from. Under Sanders’ plan the GDP % for government spending would be over 70%..... well higher than any Scandinavian country.

    Bro 100 trillion or 50 trillion, I never expected it to happen all at once. I do believe it pushes us into the right direction. Why go against someone who's main goal is to make healthcare more affordable and more available to anyone? None of the other candidates push such a thing. They think our current system just needs improvements. It needs far more than that. I had to pay $4000 for a 1 hour ER visit. My dad had a stroke and has a $100k bill that he will never afford to pay. These are major problems.
