What's the chances of Bernie walking back...

[workinclasszero]

"We will raise taxes, yes we will" before the Iowa caucus voting starts?

Real good I would say. He's had lots of practice walking back rash statements lately anyway.

[Sheepshank]

1. Now that you mention it.......

....a very good chance

[Skwmom]

2. I'd explain what taxes I'm raising for what and then point out the other two

have provided no detail on how their agenda will be paid for.

Bernie, being honest with the American People, the other two....

3. You Forgot The Saving The $5,000 A Year Part

On purpose?

Are you MSM in disguise?

Steve Schmidt / Andrea Mitchell / MSNBC You Are Pathetic Lying Dirt Bags

5. No they didn't. Sound bites are their bread and butter

"Answer yes or no"... blah blah blah. No care for substance or issues.

[scottie55]

6. If It's More Than 6 Words It Is Too Complicated

Straight from Karl Rove's Playbook.

[Hoyt]

7. Most people know that $5000 is BS. So, certainly universal coverage, will happen sooner

with someone who can get things done. Look up where Sanders' single payer bill introduced in 2010 is today.

4. Raising Taxes On Billionaires? No Problem

Crumbling infrastructure?

Big problem.

[PatrickforO]

8. No he won't. Because there will be millions of Americans like me

who will get on social media and correct the LIE of omission.

See, I pay 18.5% of my gross right now for shitty, rationed healthcare that has high copays and deductibles.

Would I like a 10% tax increase if I had no copays, no deductibles and could actually get the treatment I need? Fuck yes I would.

That's the message zero. That second sentence is key.

That's why we're gonna get the word out. Twitter, facebook, reddit...we're not gonna let some erect mainstream media propaganda organs spew out a fundamental lie like 'oh he'll raise taxes' and then OMIT the savings we'll enjoy...

That's right...enjoy...

When those taxes are raised.

9. Tea party is spilling their teas

The great thing is, as Bernie explains, the poor people will take home more of their paycheck and have health care provided and it's just the millionaires that will finally be paying their fair share.

[Half-Century Man]

10. Why would he want to?

Why are some Democrats using a right wing attack strategy?
Why are some Democrats claiming that a greater amount of money poured into the trough of the private insurance industry is preferable to a much more streamlined public system?

Are some Democrats stupid or are they getting legal kickbacks?

Why do some Democrats think people can't think? (reprise of the third question)

[Bernin4U]

11. Do you mean actually walking back, or your definition of it?

Like the one from yesterday, a complete embarrassment to the OP?

[Tortmaster]

12. Imagine if this was ...

... the general election, and Karl Rove and the Koch Brothers had access to two billion-plus dollars with which to advertise.

[draa]

15. It won't make any difference at all.

Without the proper message to counter Bernie's it won't matter.

His message sells. Taxes or no taxes it sells. Add that to voter trust for Sanders and it will matter even less. And anyone that believes Trump will ever beat the Democratic nominee hasn't been listening to what Republicans are saying. That's why some want Bloomberg. They hate Trump that much. That's also why Sanders beats him by 13%-15% in most head to head match ups. Some Republicans will never support him.

This election doesn't hinge so much on issues as it does on anger. Anger among voters toward the people who took everything in 2008 and will do it again it not reeled in. Robert Reich's endorsement of Sanders' today lays that out quite nicely.

[Tortmaster]

18. Advertising doesn't work?

You should let Senator Sanders know this. He's called Citizens United the Antichrist.

[draa]

19. What?

It is the Antichrist but that doesn't mean you don't advertise. That's just well...

[kristopher]

13. Zero

However, he will unquestionably put it in the same context as when it was uttered don stage.

[bvf]

14. Guffaw.

"He's had lots of practice walking back rash statements lately anyway."

Entertain us with lots of examples. Include links.

[Cheese Sandwich]

16. We'd actually save money by getting rid of private insurance payments

What are the chances of getting the cable news to talk about that?

[Fearless]

17. He will not. He is saving taxpayers by raising taxes.

If you don't understand that, then ask for an explanation.

[madokie]

20. When one is blind by choice

there is no hope for them.

[bvf]

21. Don't hold your breath.

WCZ probably can't afford to respond to your invitation.

[Broward]

22. The masks are coming off.

Sure enough, many right wingers have infested this place and the Party at large.

[Duckhunter935]

23. I think people

Are smart enough to understand his full quote which you left out on purpose. To bad you think Americans are to stupid to understand that full quote.

[ypsfonos]

24. That would be zero, zero nt
