      Bernie would have forced debates and public discussion toward rationality. He would have understood not to get in the trenches with Trump - not to get caught up in trying to counter every lie.

      He had real action plans and funds and ideas that made sense/work and he was ready to put in place. We haven’t had a candidate who did that in years.

      Hell, this country can’t even make A BUDGET.

        I fully agree with you. I would have liked it if Bernie was president I just dont think he would have won sadly.

        The difference is that Trump supporters vote him because he has the fascist stamp. I don’t see a majority of american voters vote for someone they think is a communist. The red scare is too much alive in boomers head for that

      When you go by policy, he would have trounced Trump.

      People want free healthcare, people want less war, people want to know their kids will get just as good of an education as the kids of rich people.

      Then again, he’d have had the media aligned against him, so maybe they would have convinced the people it’s good when you have to put off medical treatments for months so you get them all in a year where you meet your deductible
