would Chrysler and ultimately Ford because of parts issues...Sanders was willing to allow this to happen rather than to vote to release the Tarp funds...and let's just say letting banks collapse isn't smart either...we would have had a depression...and the autos would be gone forever...when Joe gets down in Michigan, and ( I will see him tomorrow in Ohio) he will set the record straight and make Sanders take responsibility for his vote which if he and the Republicans who also supported it were successful would have destroyed the autos.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Good points, but damn the silly clickbait headlines. Hortensis Mar 2020 #8

All good points...the headline was the one in the article...so I left it alone. Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #12

Sanders still has a Hillary problem.. RDavisJ1 Mar 2020 #28

Sanders like Trump needed Hillary as a foil...Let's hope this leads to Trump underperform as well. Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #34
