The perception is Bernie is a guy who is promising the moon and will not be able to get any of his programs through a ultra-conservative Congress.

If people are dumb enough to elect Trump because they don't like Hillary then that is their own stupidity. Like TJ I will be fine if he wins...I am a veteran.

Retired Navy. The correct last name. Born in Ohio. He won't touch me. Unlike Joad I care though.
