I wonder if Sanders would share his income and home with others, he does not know personally? HMMM? That is the socialist (lite communism) way. Look to Cuba. Where more than one family live in a house.

Extended adolescence, LOL.

Adolescence is being extended to age 21 or 22 for those who pursue 4 year college degrees. And extended even further for those who go to graduate school.

Well, Obamacare allows for adult children to stay on parent’s health insurance up to age 26. Many in our culture have the notion that aage 20 something adults aren’t really adults yet.

Bernie is The Flavor Of The Day for the hep cats.

I was putting gas in my car last week. The car in front of mine had a bumper sticker. I was trying to figure out what it was. It was a Bernie sticker. The driver of the car walked by me and saw me looking at his bumper sticker. He smirked at me. He was a hep cat. The liberal Lemmings just jumping off the cliff.

Because there is a built-in structural 47% of gibmedats that will vote for a Democrat/Marxist who will promise them even MORE free stuff.

Again, mark my word, before the 2016 election Democrats will float a plan to forgive billions in student loans to grab the college age crowd and graduates who are jobless with massive student loans.

MORE FREE STUFF!

Sanders is a Leftist in a Leftist party. Duh.

Cruz should be so well loved as a Conservative in a Conservative party.

But we have the RINOs.

Bernie Sanders is popular because he is absolutely sincere about what he believes and it comes across to his audiences. His primary supporters are Unions. He is the real thing.

The fact that what he believes is EVIL, has left a trail of millions of dead and persistent poverty behind, doesn’t seem to occur to his followers. Of course, this time we’ll get it right (/sarc).

Yes but they are appealing to the same anxiety just with different solutions.

Because there will always be those who are incompetent, lazy, or envious and want the unearned, the undeserved, and something for nothing.

Because of the failures of public education.

Because many of the younger crowd today are ignorant of what socialism brings with it. Plus too many are lazy and want free stuff that he offers while they don’t understand that someone has to pay for all the free stuff.

He who promises to rob Peter to pay Paul can always count on the support of Paul.

Santa? Maybe, but I am more inclined to compare him to the witch standing in front of the gingerbread house. Promising goodies, then devouring Hanzel and Gretal’s freedoms.

Voters under 30 are ready to give Socialism a try. They think having the government mandate a month of paid vacation or twelve weeks of paid paternity leave like France is a pretty cool idea. Their Twitter feeds and their iPhones don’t tell them any differently.

I can tell you that when he came to speak in NY, there was NO BUSSING. Huge crowds came to hear him speak. Mostly youts.

Your prediction about Sanders suggesting "student loan forgiveness" is right on track! He will campaign heavily on campuses, for sure.
Telling some 21 y.o. seeing $80,000 in debt that he will relieve the full amount (in exchange for a vote) will be tempting to young dumb kids.
