What does a Bernie Sanders Presidency look like?

Does he get any of his "free stuff" agenda passed?

I don't think he gets much done with the legislative branch, while he's in office, but I think he will have the bully pulpit and will use it convert a lot of people to the "free stuff" mentality.

This could lead to more people like him and AOC being elected. I think the consequences of a President Sanders will really be felt long after he's out of office.

Except for the executive orders he has already promised. The country would go to shite in 2 years.

In terms of legislation yes, but in terms of executive orders it would be a nightmare.

Luckily there is little chance of it happening. But we have to be vigilant.

We are fricked as a country.

I can understand Hillary winning the popular vote from the Clinton name and not being as far left as Bernie and Pocahontas. But if that many people pull the trigger for Bernie, it means Americans are dumber than I imagined. Literally none of his policies will do any good for Americans

Democrat executive orders are more powerful than republican E.O.s. A Dem's is permanent apparently.

The bigger question is what does the average conservative do if Bernie wins in November? It would be the first time I would ever actually be scared of a President.

I know for me I've already started thinking about getting money out of my bank account, out of the stock market and out of the country.

I had half of my wealth in non-US currency during the Obama years as a hedge against the dollar. Under Sanders I would probably do the same thing again. I know my Roth 401k will be f*cked.

If he wins the democratic nomination there's no way he wins. The democratic elite hate him and it'll be very hard to get undecided voters. He'd need young people to vote in droves and he doesn't have the cult following that trump did. I hate to say this but the Democrats have no shot and they blew their wad with this impeachment stuff.
