They'll vote for him if they lose IQ points.
He is the living personification of "The Emporer's New Clothes"

Obviously for you we need to keep things simple because large words or concepts are above you but the idea Democrats put forth are not free things from the government but things paid for by utilizing taxes in better ways. People like you would rather see tax cuts for the wealthy. I'd rather see the money used to benefit all not just a few.
I see most GOP voters staying with the GOP, regardless of who the nominee is on either side of the ticket. I was surprised during the 2008 and 2012 races the number of really strong Republicans I know who voted for Obama because the party was going bat shit crazy. I think those guys would vote for Hillary but probably not for Bernie. I know a number of Dems who like Bernie's ideas, but like me feel they make him un-electable.
Trump is still showing really high negatives among republicans - but that might change. Cruz I think would be the most beatable for any democrat - mainly because he has embraced so many haters along the way - religious nut jobs and the like. I am certain Trump would embrace them too, but he really would not be bound to them. He sees the world his own way, with everyone ageing with him even when they don't.
It looks like Christie is getting ready to flake - the handwriting is on the wall. Rubio might he in a death spiral, but it is too soon to tell. He might just need a new puppet master to pull his strings. Jeb! can linger on, but he seems doomed. If the establishment rallies around Kasich they could have a candidate. He's not real smooth, but he's been there, done that and has a respectable - for a Republican - record.
If this race has shown us anything it is this - the more we know, the less we can predict. From where I sit it is still anything goes. Stay tuned!
In fairness to BillM, his summary of Bernie is a big perception that Bernie will have to overcome going into the election. I agree it is not accurate, but when you throw buzz words like socialist around - even though All Americans ARE socialist to a degree (social security? Medicare? - hell even the tea party likes that!) that is the table that will have to be run. It is doable - but it will be a long hard road.

Bill(who doesn't feel the need to include his name in every message or appearance) was being a bit shady however it is possible to play with the true meaning of a word. If I asked you to tell me what the best peanut butter is and you gave me the name of one I am easily capable of refuting your findings even if I liked that brand. Best can have several meanings.
No need to change subjects though because it still shows that your side values keeping it simple and most Republicans are incapable of deeper thinking. Keep it simple. The best way to indoctrinate sheep.
American's have no clue what real socialism is, what real communism is or who the members of the Supreme Court are. They're busy Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The government is on auto-pilot with the course set by Ronald Reagan for plutocracy. All indications are we are about to land right on schedule.

Hmm, let's see....
Didn't provide weapons to a terrorist regime.
Warned that gas was finite and that we needed to become more fuel efficient.
Put his words into action(Habitat for Humanity)
Sure seems better than Reagan and the Republicans that followed him
Keen, let's be honest. Those buzz words have been thrown around by none other than Bernie himself. He has repeatedly called himself a socialist in the past. Self described. Perception? Look at his platform dude. He ain't a capitalist. Perhaps he now realizes the socialist descriptor won't go over too well in a presidential campaign so he's now tacking on "democrat" to the end. That in itself should cause pause, but is going largely ignored by most. Instead, the "buzz" is that Republicans are the ones spreading the smear about Bernie. Let's call him for what he is.
And stop with the "all Americans are socialist to a degree" crap. I've heard many liberals play the social security and Medicare card, even against their own parents. My repsonse is if they paid into it, they deserve it.
I'm certainly not a loser, and don't want the government to 'pay for everything'. I'm also a Bernie supporter. Know why? Because I know he doesn't just want to give 'handouts' to everyone. I actually do my research... he wants to tax the rich like everyone else, and raise the minimum wage and raise taxes so that we can collectively pay for our society that we all Share ourselves.
What are trumps answers?? "We will be great, we will be Tremendous!" Ok mother-fucker, HOW?? "We will win, we will win A Lot!!"
Anyone who takes that moron seriously needs to borrow a brain cell from someone... the one they got bouncing around in that empty skull must be sooo lonely.
Yep, thats gonna be one of his biggest issues. And republicans haven't even started laying into him yet.

US presidential candidates clash over Middle East peace process
Two of the top Republican candidates for president favor recognizing West Bank settlements as part of Israel, a sharp break with decades of US policy that could either revive or bury the moribund Oslo peace process.
Summary⎙ Print US presidential candidates are offering substantive differences when it comes to Israel policy.
Author Julian PecquetPosted February 18, 2016
The hawkish stance is one of several controversial proposals floated during the 2016 race, which has moved far beyond the usual bipartisan boilerplate support for Israel. The debate underscores the increasingly polarized nature of US relations with Israel over the past few years, even if the follow-through from campaign rhetoric to presidential order remains an open question.
Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Marco Rubio, R-Fla., this month were the first to co-sponsor legislation that would allow goods from the West Bank and Gaza to be labeled as “Made in Israel” in response to the Obama administration’s recent reaffirmation of long-standing US policy on the matter. The bill from Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., is the most transparent attempt to date to conflate settlements with Israel, an idea that has been gaining traction in Congress over the past year.
