    That debate was pretty disconcerting. If I wanted to live in Mexico I'd move there. Apparently illegal immigrants won't have any repercussions whatsoever, they can come and go as they please. That's the kind of thing that could stop me from voting.

    Yeah, I think that is the end of Bernie. The media got him by showing a clip which was clearly cut off. In that clip, he was talking about the US not getting involved in the politics of other countries.

    From what I understand, there's more where that came from. And it wasn't out of context, he explicitly defended Castro's policies. He had an opportunity to just say "Castro is a bad dictator" and refused to even when pressed.

    This one will hurt, and not just in Florida.

    Yeah, the numbers are clear. Bernie is going to win the presidency.

    In that video, he clearly said that Fidel and Cuba are far from perfect. They cut it off.

    All he is saying is that the US should not attempt regime changes. They should not get involved. If that is what the people of that country want, they will revolt.

    Like I said, a lot more where that came from. I actually think the moderators did him (and America) a favor here. He needs to recant his past positions with vigor or he is a nonstarter in the GE. The Republicans will kill him mercilessly with this material if they get the chance.

    You don't try to explain context in things like this. You condemn and pivot away, with speed.

    I did say the man has a love affair with communism. He had shady past and there is no doubt that he supported or still supports some marxist policies.

    Get outta here with context and common sense, it doesn't fit the right-wing and corporate narrative!!!

    Extremely obvious at that point how much people are scared of him becoming president, corporations and WS running a not so secret smeering campaign against him and paying off the media.

    Truth isn't a smeering campaign, you only have to run Trump's actual quotes (in context, not out of) to show the people what he's about.

    Smearing would be the perfect word to describe Trumps campaign.

    Is a government run by lobbyist and elections run by PACs anti-marxism?

    He's clearly being positive while talking about Castro. Just because he stopped short of saying that Castro is perfect doesn't mean that it wasn't a stupid thing to say.

    Sucks cuz he's the only actual human being running for president. But yeah, looks like he's done. Hillary is inevitable.

    (As for the US not getting involved in the internal affairs of other nations... well yeah. Agreed. Ron Paul '08!)

    That is based on nothing factual at all. It's only your made up assumptions.

    Unless you happen to have proof of this, it's just your guess based on nothing.

    If you do have proof of this, I'd love to see it.
