    Nothing wrong with weird.  I'd rather have weird than older than dirt running the country...but as a Canadian...I do not get a vote.  
    So with Bernie you get both?
    I do not like Bernie...

    The man needs to learn to speak without yelling...but he is as old as dirt...so maybe he thinks he is speaking normally...lol

    Yeah he is, and I was just teasing since Bernie went into that class room and taught kids stereotypes.  I know the point he was making, but that's typically not how one would do it.

    OK ... I see.  I did not see the video.  The video was not made available in Canada?  If it is the same video that I am thinking.

    I think it is safe to assume Bernie will not be President...him and Trump in the debates would give me a migraine.  I think Trump defeats him if he was the dem nod...

    You can't see the Comedy Central video that had all those Bernie highlights?  Definitely worth watching.  It was off the wall.

    That was a 2008 quote, likely made when he did not think he was going to run for President.

    The full quote,  with context,  shows that he was criticizing the system and human nature,  not advocating for it.

    I don't know why you are so pro-Bernie, but to each their own.  I think you can qualify as a Bernie Bro soon.

    He has a horrible record on gun control, that is a disqualifying policy stance for me. 

    I am sick of people being shot everywhere and children being subconsciously traumatized by the damn things.

    Bernie may be a socialist, but he likes guns without regulations. He may change his tune now, but that is not his true position. 

    Down vote.

    Because I've got a feeling, a feeling deep inside that Bernie isn't chained to the patriotic/nationalistic indoctrination that you can see in the eyes of far to many Americans - from politicians, to journalists to regular folks.

    And I think being freed from that gives great possibilities to open up for honest and productive change. Patriotism is, as stated by Sean Connery in The Rock, a virtue of the vicious.

    Compared to Biden, who I bet is "same ol' same ol' the greatest experiment ever created and the legend of the godly founding fathers and the american spirit"

    Please drop out of the race Senator Booker:
    https://www.nj.com/politics/2019/05/no-cory-booker-toy-guns-are-not-more-tightly-regulated-than-real-ones.html

    No, Cory Booker, toy guns are not more tightly regulated than real ones

    WASHINGTON — When he called for requiring gun owners to pass a safety course and be licensed, U.S. Sen. Cory Booker also said that there was more government oversight of toy weapons than actual ones.

    “In the U.S., we have more federal regulation over toy runs than real ones,” he tweeted.

    Not so fast. While the Consumer Protection Safety Board regulates toy guns, other agencies oversee the safety of real weapons.

    The Washington Post’s fact-checker called Booker’s claim “specious," noting that other agencies, most notably the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, have jurisdiction over firearms even as the CSPC does not.

    “Firearms, at just about every level, are highly regulated in the United States,” the newspaper said. “Booker is calling for another level of regulation, but he can’t suggest toy guns are even more highly regulated.”

    Booker campaign spokeswoman Sabrina Singh declined to comment.

    Specious is a good word for it,  or unnecessarily hyperbolic.

    How dare he. 

    I sure hope he doesn't have any "yo mama is so fat"-jokes in his closet that are not scientifically accurate.

    Someone get Mueller on the line. Down with Booker!

    Agreed. I m not a booker fan at all, if he does drop out I hope he loses next election but seeing nj is as blue as can be I don’t see it happening.
