The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

Proclaiming to be a believer that the government should control the means of production should easily be as radical as anything the Donald has said.

he's a social democrat not a communist. That's no more radical than Rand Paul's libertarianism.

Agreed....and so is Bernie Sanders, but people don't know that because Bernie doesn't get the play.

what has said that comes close to trump's comments and actions?

Look, you are welcome to your opinion. I am welcome to mine. AND, guess whose I like the best??

I said nothing about a conspiracy. The libs like to feed you crap you eat up. That's not a conspiracy it's playing to a constituency

You are really conspiratorial thinking the "libs" are giving Bernie a pass but going after trump by selectively editing his words. What has Bernie said that matches the level of absurdity?

lol. Yeah it's the media who made Trump look stupid. Watch his interviews in order from the time he said Mexico wasn't sending its best- just rapists. I haven't seen a like that since Richard Sherman.

Why the need to leap before comprehending? I am pretty sure I said the media enhanced Trump's looking stupid. Post after post I have called him stupid. My first post today was calling him a clown.

Then I threw out a comparison that while the media thrives on Trump being an idiot, because they are libs they don't present Bernie the socialist as the idiot he is.

I understand if you are a socialist you don't consider him an idiot. I am not a socialist and therefor consider him and many of the things he says idiotic.

You wouldn't understand. You are absurdly awash in liberal ideology. I have no need or even desire to convince you of anything. I use the forum to state my opinion and you may label that opinion however you please.

don't be a dick. You have an opinion but no arguement. Im not absurdly awash in anything.

LOL You don't like someone using the word absurd to describe their opinion?

Take your last shot. This little back and forth is absurd and I am done.

I'm asking you to give examples of how Sanders level of ridiculousness is on par with Trump's. All I get is retort about not being able to understand and being brainwashed.

Dick.

You are not the first to so label me. I have also been called absurd.

Are you arguing then? If we agree then we agree, but I don't think this is any sort of media hack job. CNN gave him every opportunity to clarify and he himself responded with his "WHO'S DOING THE RAPING??" bit, as well as then claiming that he loves Mexicans, but that it's people "from everywhere" flooding across the border and somehow committing all these heinous crimes in the U.S. that have no witness or victim. If by "enhanced Trump's looking stupid" you mean allowing him to continue to speak unfiltered, then yes- I agree- the media is really enhancing how stupid he looks.

You initially respond to me by making two statements that are your opinion. Fine. Then you instruct me not to be "absurd".

You are really asking me to engage in a discourse and state why I feel like I do by letting me know I come into the conversation as someone who is absurd?

I use the absurd lingo and now I am the one being personal. Look at any and all of our previous disagreements. Never have I belittled your opinion. Then go back and check on your responses to me.

You call my thoughts absurd right off the start and want me to engage in a meaningful conversation. No thanks.

Rand Paul's libertarianism is far closer to what the founders' ideology was than any other candidate running. That said, Paul is portrayed as a loon while Bernie seems to be treated with kid gloves. It is amazing to me that despite all of the wealth and prosperity that America has produced (not very many places you can go where it is the poor who have problems with obesity) due to competition and private enterprise that a person who would promote socialism would even see the light of day as a candidate.

I don't Paul is portrayed as a loon. His stance and actions relating to the NSA were were well-received by a lot of liberals. His paleoliberatarianism is too radical for me but I think he genuinely believes in his principles.
