Why are republicans/conservatives so hypocritical when it comes to this?

If the only thing you find appealing about them is their anti-establishmentism, why aren't you high on Bernie, Bob?

On one hand, you have a rich, vulgar, reality TV star who has left a long line of failed business ventures and other tawdry affairs in his wake.

Now, I know that you would point to Ronald Reagan's presidency in response to criticism of Trump's lousy record of achievements, but if you're willing to take a look at the result of 35 years of experimenting with trickle down economics, which was initiated by Saint Ronnie, you have to acknowledge that it's been a dismal failure for the middle class in America.

And, the only policy initiative that the rich vulgarian has outlined in any detail would immediately kneecap the U.S. economy on multiple levels.

On the other hand, you have a principled democratic socialist who has been consistently fighting to level the playing field and strengthen the middle class for decades.

Don't you think that's it's high time that we try a different economic model - one that will free some of the money from the hands of the greedy corporatists and put it back into the hands of the middle class who will spend it.

That's really the only way to get our economy growing at a rate that will enable us to address our structural debt problem.

And, he has laid out specific and detailed policy prescriptions on a multitude of other issues, which you can easily peruse at your leisure.

Maybe, your motivations are not entirely what you claim them to be?

Salinsky, you make me proud to be one of Bernie's worshipers!

This time I have to concede your point. I was ignorant of this.

In Illinois the rumors are that Tammy Duckworth the wounded warrior who lost a leg in combat will run against Kirk who has NOT fully recovered from a stroke.  It will not be close in a presidential election when there is a high turnout.  The structural advantage of 2014 where more Democrats were at risk was wrongly taken as a Republican tidal wave, and when the Democrats win the senate back in 2016 will be wrongly interpreted as a Democratic tidal wave, when more experienced strategist realize the structural nature of those elections.  One thing Trump has done is to fire up interest in an election which is about a year out.  I expect the highest turn outs in total numbers and highest percentage in fifty years.  Those turnouts bode well for the Democratic structural advantage in 2016. 

Now the thread topic.  Platform inconsistencies are always a Party reality as the Party tent must be big enough to win elections, but as the size grows the inconsistencies also grow.  Nothing new here.
