Do you think Trump will dare to attack anything that has to do with the Soviet Union Putin is longing to get back to every second of the day?mrussel1 said:
Those videos will be really tough on him. There are certainly some complimentary comments of the soviet system both in the USSR and Russia that will hit hard. I'm surprised no dark money commercials from the center-left have hit in either campaign. I'd like to see some just to see what they do to his numbers. Let's have our eyes wide open.The Juggler said:

But what do you think about his comments on the video we can all watch? Do you agree with them? What context are we missing? Is what he said ok as long as it is accompanied by giving away money?The Juggler said:

Instead of seizing on some out of context audio, what do you think of what he actually did? By all accounts it looks like spent $130,000,000 of his own money to help those folks succeed in life. This is the guy you are saying is as bad as Donald Trump? You see, this is why your party excels at losing elections.

I doubt he would dare to go in on criticising anything connected to Putin. And that includes Sanders saying they had clean subways in the 80s.

It's not about Putin, it's about the economic system. Trust all of us Americans on this. Bernie is going to get hammered with that label all day and all night. Remember that Trump's only 'success' as it were, is the economy. He would love to play compare and contrast with a socialist system.Spiritual_Chaos said:

I just think Trump will have problems doing any "vicious" attacks about Sanders in connection to Russia/Soviet Union. Like I happen to believe the Fox News interview points to. I obviously know Bernie will be attacked for being a GOD DAMN SOVIET UNION LOVING COMMIE by all Repubs and Fox News:es in the world."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

You only need one 15 second clip to paint the portrait. Plus, he's a self-described socialist, so why wouldn't a clip where he praises USSR, Cuba (even if out of context or disingenuous) resonate with independents?

There is a funny joke here to be made.

Listen, I know that. But...I'm not the person trying to be convinced. I don't think he's a communist nor do I think he romanticizes the USSR. He's further left than me, but I'm talking about what I think will happen. And yes I know you know that. The one policy that I really don't like, which ironically would help me out personally the most, is the waiving of student debts and free college. I think that's a terrible idea, much worse than M4A. And you'll notice that I've never taken real shots at Bernie, only his supporters. Nor have I said that I wouldn't vote for him. I would. I just don't want to be in that position though, plus I do think he'll lose. I hope I'm wrong about that.Spiritual_Chaos said:

They don't look great without any context. But if one takes literally a second to click on those links, that are actually in the Vice article, they will see that what he's talking about is actually a great things for those kids.
So again, you guys are trying to scare people into believing he's the same as Donald Trump based on some out of context clips....or based on just the headline of an article or something....yet the actual article shows that the man is spending hundreds of millions of his own money to help these disadvantage kids get by in life. Donald Trump has literally never thought of doing such a thing (and doesn't have the money lying around to do it anyway).

To put a bow on it, here is the "slip of the tongue" that can be handwaved away if you're throwing money at people:
0 -
So in full context, considering he's funding programs to help them, is it racist? There's certainly no argument that minorities are over represented in jails and under represented in the productive work force. Is that racist to point out if you are contributing millions of your own money to try to solve that problem?0
-
Further, if he was truly racist then presumably he would think blacks and hispanics are predisposed to a life of crime or vagrancy. If that were the case, why would he put millions to work to address it?0
-
If we can't agree that the last paragraph is racist then I don't know what is. This is also the same guy who said they were overpolicing whites and underpolicing minorities in regards to stop-and-frisk. You then read his other quotes through that lens.mrussel1 said:So in full context, considering he's funding programs to help them, is it racist?
