    Sanders is a far left loon who knows nothing of economics, and is a perfect example of just how far off the rail the democrat party has fallen.

    The fact that he has so many supporters is an indictment on how dumbed-down our electorate is, how high schools obviously no longer teach civics, and how the far left has taken over the country's universities and brainwashed so much of the youth.

    I'm not a huge fan of today's Republican party. But "petesede" as usual shows what an arrogant idiot he is, and what a hateful, intellectually dishonest, bigoted, obnoxious, delusional, lying troll he is.

    For someone who claims to be so much smarter than everyone else and such a genius, he's so goddamned stupid that he doesn't bother to troll other forums with different usernames.

    He pretends to be a MD on some sites, which is an obvious lie.

    He claims to be a missionary on other sites, despite the fact that he's a pathological liar and apparently a homosexual according to a profile pulled up on a gay dating site by a google search.

    He claims here to be an oil company bigshot and a 30+ year investor, despite the fact that he obviously knows virtually nothing about the oil business, and only knows about investing in companies whatever he can pull off other forums and claim as his own intellectual property.

    He has claimed to live in Ohio in some posts, and in Georgia in others. He also claims to live in Nicaragua, and has claimed to live in Mexico as well. He is apparently either impersonating a real MD with a similar name on other forums, or is just pretending to be a MD elsewhere.

    He obviously spends all day every day online trolling a number of forums, pretending to be a different person on each forum - with the same name. He's a sad, disturbed individual with far too much time on his hands. It's really pathetic that a grown man spends 18 hours a day every day lying and picking fights on a number of internet forums.

    Say goodbye to him - he will soon be gone for good. And if he tries to come back, he can be ruined...

    I don't think that this guy is limited like this. I believe that his voters come from different classes and as someone said here it is said that he is not filthy rich like some other candidates.

    It is not an easy choice to make right now. Even though some believe it will be the choice between rich staying on top and people taking over. I believe that the era we live in is just spoiled with corruption and those filthy rich will find a way to stay in shadows and take the dirty money and precious power. Bernie looks a bit different but maybe the fact he is not all that rich is a bad thing even. I have no idea but it will be both, interesting and not easy at all to make a choice on these elections.

    Republicans might be a little more sympathetic to subsidising college, if they taught real degrees rather then gender studies and other unemployable garbage courses. Helping doctors through college benefits us all. Having hard working people pay for whining feminists to doss about for 4 years does not.

    Ted Cruz is almost exclusively asian too.

    Oh wait, no he isn't. He just 'looks like he's asian' to some people, so that makes him about as asian as it makes Bernie to 'look like he's white' when he is Jewish and not white at all.

    Bernie gets away with a lot pretending to be, but he isn't white. If he's 'white' to you, then so is Stacy Dash, Michael Jackson, and Will Smith by that same angle.

    Bernie is not the wealthy candidate of choice, either. Ted Cruz would be, since the people who make over $250,000 a year annually would see their tax breaks and profits increase, while everyone else would not.

    The next best for the wealthy and upper-class with a significant amount of money would be Trump, since his economic plan is all-inclusive of being in favor to grow every sector and area, especially the working class but not exclusive to corporations or any other business.

    Hillary is mostly just for corporations and non-US residents, but tries her best to act like she supports and represents female interests when in reality, none of them really do. Carly Fiorina may have, but she's been out of the competition for quite a while and it seems that when she did, the virtues of a good female president left with her.

    Bernie is only for exactly what we have now only worse, and with the twist of further depleting resources and giving free stuff that belongs to you to each and every one of them. If you want to see what's left of the economy die in a fire, then go for Bernie. If you want to see America overrun by foreigners, go for Hillary. If you want some sort of sanity, try anyone else left standing.

    Bernie does have one thing going for him and that is that he doesn't have any superPACs or other shady funding like Hillary does, but he still plays dirty games pretending to be 'white' when he's Jewish, and pretending that it's everyone else's fault for the way things are, just like Obama blamed Bush repeatedly up until he could do so no longer.

    I don't like what the Republicans have done. I don't like what Trump is doing. I don't like what Bernie is doing. I don't like what Ted Cruz is doing. I don't like what Hillary is doing. There isn't a single candidate that I would want to support, and this has to be one of the scariest and saddest elections I have ever seen in US history.

    I know a little about this issue :) If you want more doctors, the problem is not the cost of education, the problem is the AMA only allows a certain amount of people to go to medical school each year. If Harvard Medical School is only allowed to have 200 students in their program, then yeah, they are going to jack the price to get the most out of those 200 students.. but if they were allowed to have as many students as they could handle, then the price for medical school would not be so high. And then it just trickles down because most doctors begin their career nearly half a million dollars in debt, and there is a limit on how many doctors there are, so of course you are paying $100 for a 30 minute consult.

    Cuba produces almost as many doctors each year as the USA, they are just as well trained ( I work with a ton of them every day) and they pay a tiny fraction as much as doctors in the USA pay for school. You go anywhere in central america or south america, and Cuban doctors get more respect and are seen as higher quality than US doctors.

    Between the AMA restricting the number of medical students and the lobbying power of the drug industry, that is the reason the USA pays 300% more than any other country per capita for health care.

    There are plenty of rich liberals who support Bernie. I wouldn't exactly say he's a candidate that is for the rich. His stances would be contrary to that for sure.

    Bernie isn't the candidate for the rich. Anyone who has an real amount of wealth would not be voting for Sanders. His socialist policies put their further garnering of fortune at risk. He's more of the poor mans candidate. Sadly some of the ideas espoused in his campaign are impossible to follow through with. The idea of free education would most likely be too costly according to many economists accounts.

    Eh. I think Hillary is the real candidate of rich people. Her campaign is partially supported by big business while Bernie's supporters are doing grass roots fund raising. The college kids are right about who they're supporting here-- education is supposed to be affordable anyway.

    I'm not sure who the candidate of the rich is this cycle. It's odd that there are so many rich liberals these days. I guess that's what happens when your ideas are so dominant in the media, culture and in the education field. There's really no escaping it. Still pretty funny to see people vote against their best interests and for a massive government in their lives.

    I am a supporter of Sanders and I am not rich by any stretch of the imagination. I think what makes him so appealing is that he understands what it is like to be an American who is lower on the totem pole economically. Even many of the celebrities are supporting him.
