Who do we trust? Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump and Others? Why or Why not? (minimum wage, highway)

I'm also with the open mind, rather than straight party voting.
Yep. It's how some real scum get elected by riding coat-tails.

I agree. I think Carson is a 'nice guy' which is the wrong personality type to be CinC.

"Blessed are they who expect nothing, for they shall not be disappointed". Proof that I was correct in not watching the CNN tripe show.

Good grief! You are so mixed up. I will agree that FDR was a mess and did a lot of destruction. Social Security is a savings-for-the-future program and paid for by employees and employers. Now the government has stolen all the contributions and substituted IOU's which do not pay interest...not one penny. If SS had been left alone and kept government fingers out of the safe, it would be very solvent.
Johnson's welfare agenda has led to a whole mess and has destroyed many segments of society. As for "economies" you are simply not understanding that "all nations in the world" don't have and have never had the fantastic free economy that built the greatest country in the world's history...AMERICA! What I am seeing in your post is today's crap educational input.
Exactly right. MTAtech needs to do some serious study and learn what "Progressivism" is, where it came from and what "progressives" believe. This is the problem with most of these "liberals." They don't know the history of the crap they are pushing, and they don't know where it's headed either. They simply follow.
Dead wrong! Feeling sorry for people who do not understand America is NOT DISBELIEVING in the USA Constitution. I do believe such people are a threat to our American Constitution, though. Can you not comprehend the English language?
Never mind Mr. Burdell. He's one of the clueless Left. He's a big time "Progressive" who is aiding the destruction of this country.
In addition to having the experience in the real world that has given him the full qualifications to know how to handle all the mess domestically and internationally that the current administration and Congress has created.
Bingo! Hillary/Sanders supporters think the qualification for office is having been a "professional politician" for a number of years.
I don't do "fear" and "emotion" rule! I address issues from the USA Constitution's solid foundation. Either follow it or screw up the country. If you don't know the history of socialism and communism, go back and research. The best way to actually learn is to do your own research.
Research? They don't know what that is. And, they have no knowledge of history. What they are getting in "government school" today is propaganda only.
I don't trust hillary clinton, or bernie sanders. The other other side I am a bit mixed. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz have disappointed me I have found reasons not to vote for them. As for Trump, has he brought forward a complete plan on deporting illegal immigrants and building a wall/securing the border? Where are the trump attacks coming from more? The left or right?
I don't see anything in our Constitution that outlaws socialism and/or programs to help people. In fact, the US Constitution is silent on economic systems. Social programs instituted by a freely-elected government for the benefit of the people are within the Constitution boundaries. We don't have enough of them. While the rich 1% float around on one of their ten yachts, others go with food and shelter because they've been displaced from their jobs...or because they are being paid slave wages with no benefits.
Trump is full of it. He got 4 million from contributors. He says he doesn't solicit contributions. Yeah right!
All I have seen is that you can donate on his website: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/ Where you can find his stand on the issues, etc. also.

He is offered a lot that he turns down from the ones that want to buy a piece of Trump in case he gets elected and he is turning those contributions down.

Sanders is by far the most genuine. (Ie, HONEST) That goes a long way with me. He also has the best plans for the nation to address the widening income gap. For all the naysayers yelling "how can we afford that!?!!" JUST LOOK AT HIS TAX PLAN!!
https://berniesanders.com/issues/ Unless Bernie has found a way to grow money on trees, he fails. I found no solid job plan. He wants free college tuition when we already have people graduating that can't find jobs. He wants to work on our infrastructure and create jobs by doing this BUT we require tax dollars to do this and a lot of people can barely pay taxes now. He is just an out-of-touch old hippie.

Biden 2016!
Who wants to elect a guy that isn't sure if he does or doesn't want the job of POTUS? He has stalled too long at this point.

Of all the possible candidates, she is the worst.

I don't go around asking people for money, but if people started sending me $100 bills in the mail because they like something I said, I wouldn't send it back. He is the front runner and he has collected less than 1/3 of some candidates that are barely in the race. Mostly from 74,000 private citizens that sent in $10-$100.
I comprehended you didn't even know what state Sanders represented, didn't need to go any further.
Actually, yes I do...Vermont. I will apologize to the people of New Hampshire. Serves me right for trying to multi-task...was also dealing with New Hampsire issues. No excuse for my lax of concentration, just an explanation and assuming full responsibility. I will thank you for pointing it out, though. Another one of my "quirks" is hating to leave anything incomplete.
