$22 trillion in debt - an alarming statistic. And Sanders doesn't care. A frightening choice.

FeelTheBern again

Only burnie could put together so many losing proposals in one election plan

All major democracies have conclusively proven that government run health care is more efficient, produces better results, than private health care. They spend about 1/2 as much per citizen as we do, with similar,sometimes superior outcomes. And they cover everyone.

Mr.46, GO BERNIE GO !

Still not enough

Shouldn’t we talk about his negatives? It’s only fair.

Gun safety? He’ll release his tax returns this time?

Sanders sort of lost his credability when his wife was caught on hot mike saying, the crowd don't know you were not supposed to be the DNC nominee, then supporting Hillary without so .uch as a whimper after the DNC stitched him up publicly.

So the same as 2016 plus extra whinging, then? No thanks.

bye bye US economy.

And who will pay for that? And if all the refugees come to America, they probably can’t afford to pay taxes but will get Medicare. Who will pay for them.? Sorry, but we live on military retirement and social Security.

Hilarious .. he feels entitled to this office . White Man Privilage 😂😂😂

Nah

Can we please VetBernie in 2019:

Don’t forget ensuring he continues his 2016 work on damaging the Democrats and electing a Republican.

Bernie ideals are crazy! Here we go again! He likes everything to be free but how do you pay for all these socialist programs? Nothing is free, Bernie! Stop these dangerous socialists that want to destroy our Country!

Bernie, be careful. Remember what your body did to you in last presidential bid.

Bernie Sanders will be 79 by November 3, 2020, Joe Biden will be 78, Elizabeth Warren will be 71 . No more boomers running for office from either side... please, no more.

Pass the baton n let the youth surge ahead!!

How is that different from most of the others?

I wish he would advocate but not run.

Women's rights---meh, not so much.

Today's a good day for him to release his FULL income taxes. NeverBernie

LOL, he will get none of this done, but will ruin the economy in the process. Great idea. Attempting to implement a socialist utopia only killed 100 million people in the 20th century. What's 100 million more, right?

Why was his former former chief strategist, Ted Devine also working to install a Putin's puppet in Ukraine?

Too far to the left

Since Putin helped him in the last election and he has voted AGAINST sanctioning Russian oligarchs despite Russia continuing to attack us, how does he plan to defend this country against foreign attacks?

Can him better explain were is the money to pay for all. Is planning to declare a national emergency?

The Maduro gringo

How about first and foremost fix the DNC so he doesn’t get screwed again b

I love Bernie Sanders! Greetings from Germany

Damn, another presidential run by socialist radical liberal leftist BernieSanders. At 77, he lacks the wisdom of not saying Trump in every sentence. Oh, gone are the days of Democratic Party presidential candidates like BarackObama that bring excitement and hope. Sanders2020

It will do no good to put minimum wage at 15 bucks - inflation will knock the benefits away

Where’s his plan for the mitigation of implementation? A million unemployed regular people whose jobs are directly tied to insurance claims processing, whether at insurers or medical providers will need to be dealt with. Then, there is the issue of shocks to pensions and IRAs...

He’s way too extreme for flyover country.

NO TAX RETURNS=NO RUN. PERIOD.

Ok.

He needs to release his taxes NOW. Then he can talk about his agenda (we already know it by heart—repeated over & over & over & over & over).

Another cis gender white male running for president. But the democrats don't have a problem with this one.

Medicare for all couldn’t be funded if every individual and corporate tax was doubled.

NEVER BERNIE. NO.

Is the leadership at the DNC going to collude with another candidate to steal a nomination again, asking for a friend.

What's his agenda again?

You think the wall is expensive? These socialists have no idea how to pay for any of this. Its very simple, just lie to get elected.

Don't forget free college, 90 percent tax rates and high unemployment. I cant wait.

Someone tell me what’s wrong in this country today ? It’s the constant hatred of our president by the media no trump hasn’t divided America cnn liberals the ocasios Bernie’s kanakas Harris and the soo called let’s kneel blacks of the world

So now, again, 2 years or so of huge rallies full of wide-eyed college kids promised free education, free healthcare and anything else he can come up with---only to hear them whine about the process when he starts to lose. Been there, done that....

That’s all the Democrats positions. If I’m going to vote for an old white man it’s going to be Biden. But we need a Harris/Beto ticket or similar to get people to the polls to vote. Not controversial Bernie

Bernie agenda: remove sanctions from Russia Bernie is WEAK and SOFT on Russia

It doesn't matter if he runs or not.. The democrat establishment and their rich donors will decide who gets the superdelegates...

I like Bernie but we will never convince people to give up their employer based healthcare insurance for Medicare for all. I think a better idea is to let people over 50 buy in the the Medicare program and fix ACA

Egads, BERNIE IS NOT A DEMOCRAT is a glutton for punishment. Be right back, muting words “Bernie Sanders”, duration = Forever

Besides money for the climate religion is money wasted on inconclusive data: How will he pay for medicare for all? Higher taxes for the middle class? Well, he did seem to indicate at the StateOfTheUnion that he hated Trump's pledge not turning US in a socialist state.

Go Bernie2020! ❤️😍👏

How

“How dare he!” -🍩

Leave the rich, white old men at home in 2020. This job is for a young vibrant women! NeverBernie

BernieSanders slogan MAVTR. Make America Venezuela Then Russia

If this is socialism, I call it compassion. If we want to call ourselves a great country, America needs to provide basic needs and services for all its citizens.

Awesome.

Yawn

But forgetting addressing civil rights, which he brushes off as “identity politics.”

STAND DOWN BERNIE. YOUR TIME HAS PASSED YOU BY. YOU WILL SPLIT THE VOTE..IN FAVOR OF DONALD TRUMP. STOP!!!!

Utopia package.

Enough of angry crazy old white men as President, please. Just not being orange isn’t enough for me to support this other clown.

Vote for Sanders because he’ll make us do stuff that we don’t have the balls to do on our own.

Well he’s not wrong

BERNIE, MEDICARE IS A BYPRODUCT OF WORKERS WHO CONTRIBUTE FICA FROM PAYCHECKS. HOW WILL 'NON WORKERS' BE ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICARE?

Same old stuff from 2012 that died in 2016. Bernie2020 SenSanders Your revolution is O-V-E-R. Seriously. Thank you for your service. Now get....

God bless u, u are deserve for 2020 president

ie: government control of everything.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

I was so hopeful that Bernie would play the role of Miyagi this time. 😔

But how will he pay for it?

If that's not populism I don't know what it is

Nut Job Bernie Running Is a Massive Win For Trump Trump Slam Dunk 2020 MAGA

BERNIEEEEEEEEEE FOREEEVVVVVEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!

NYET. There is NOTHING radical about healthcare for all Americans. There's nothing radical about healthcare for all worldwide, truly universal, except 'civilized world' can't AFFORD it cuz so much is spent warring & servicing debt. There IS something Trumpian among 'BernieBros'.
