Unfortunately, we have some tremendously naive/gullible/lazy people in our great country.

Every time BS promises free stuff, factual statistics showing the consequences of his Socialist policies should be plastered for all to see.

It’s unbelievable we should even have to do this for those who can’t see the obvious.

Go Bernie go

Win that democrat nomination please

This proves he’d lose Pennsylvania and backing Castro loses Florida for him

Is that all that’s needed?

The fracking ban stuff is a bigger deal than the level of coverage it's gotten, IMHO. Would kill a large number of jobs in swing areas, could double to triple consumer gas bills, could even impact global markets. Not sure why this isn't getting more attention. Saw an estimate from the director of the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago that US fracking accounts for something like 8% of total global oil and 10% of total global natural gas.

No problem. Once we have land reform those fracking workers will be put to work on the farms.

People always talk about how much money his policies would cost but I wish people talked more about the jobs he would destroy. I'd think it would be easily millions of people out of work if his policies were to be implemented

The dumbest thing about Sanders is he wants the US to be entirely dependent on renewable energy which is fine on the surface. But renewable energy isn't reliable and must have a back up source. So clean burning sources such as natural gas and nuclear power are good options but he's also aginist that too.

This right here is why the electoral college was implemented. Sunshine surfer dudes from CA shouldn't be able to dictate what happens for the rest of the country.

With his support Fidel Castro and fracking ban in PA, Trump is well on his way to 270

They're currently building one of the largest ethane cracker plants in the country on the Ohio River. 6k construction jobs and 1k full time. That's not including all the peripheral jobs that have come about because of this.

Last I saw, they had 12 more in the planning phase in 2 counties in SW PA.
