Eric Trump slams Sanders: 'He has three accomplishments, two of which are naming post offices'

Trump Organization executive vice president Eric Trump told Fox News Monday that Democratic front-runner Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has achieved relatively in close to four decades as an elected official at the local and federal levels.

"He [Sanders] entered government in 1981 [as mayor of Burlington, Vt.] if you can possibly believe it," President Trump's second son told "Hannity." "He has three accomplishments, two of which are naming post offices, and this is the guy who's going to issue transformational change."

I'm sure that third house revelation will dissuade democratic voters who want everyone to have health care in this country away from Bernie.  

But will it dissuade those who want rainbow farting unicorns, time machines and other equally realistic goals?

Well, in the context of Sanders using a complex legal tactic to protect himself from personal liability, to avoid the unfortunate consequences of punitive taxation, and to allow his heirs the benefit of skirting financial obligations while allowing them to keep the roughly 600 feet of prime lake front, it’s something that rightly should be addressed.  Hard core leftists will indeed flock to follow him, every cult needs a messiah figure regardless of his own personal fiscal fetishes. The goal is simply to cut him down, piece by piece, to expose him as the hypocrite that he is, and to associate him with the vision that the USA can look like Cuba and Venezuela if you you just rally behind Sanders.
 

In fact, one must wonder if these mega-wealthy individuals weren’t working so damn hard to avoid paying taxes and shielding assets from Medicare to begin with, if the Medicare crisis would be a crisis to begin with.   
 

Socialism is profoundly lucrative for the few.

It's an effective attack on the hypocrisy of communists.  Plenty of parallels to the dacha-owning Soviet leaders who preached to the masses who lived in communal apartments with shared bathrooms.

 

Progress!!

all i know is that if Bernie or anyone for that matter, is successful in implementing medicare for all, it had better mean, 'for all'. not like the obamacare exception for legislators who were allowed to obtain their own health insurance. if they truly believe medicare for all is the solution, then they should also have to abide by that solution.

 

enough of this two tiered horseshit. they are not better than you nor i.

WINNOWING THE FIELD: YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG. 

 

With 7 Candidates Debating In South Carolina, The Stage Is, Umm, Getting Larger? 

 

“We’re at the point in the election cycle — after three states have voted — that the debate stage is supposed to shrink, not grow. But apparently the 2020 Democratic field didn’t get the memo. After six candidates debated in Nevada last week, seven have now qualified for this Tuesday’s showdown in South Carolina. The debate will reunite the six debaters from last week’s heated fracas and also welcome philanthropist Tom Steyer back to the stage.”

 

More than anything this is an indication that the party elders no longer have the muscle or clout to winnow the field in advance. The GOP has the same problem, but the result was Trump and a lot of #winning. We still don’t know what the same chaos will produce on the Democratic side.

There's another debate tonight, and it's not too soon.

 
It's less than a week since the last debate, but everything's speeded up now. There's the South Carolina primary this weekend, followed by Super Tuesday. And last week it was all about piling on Mike Bloomberg, but now Bernie Sanders has blown up into a seemingly unbeatable beast. So does everyone who isn't Bloomberg still go after Bloomberg, or is it forget about Bloomberg, and everyone who's not Bernie goes after Bernie? Or is it more complex?

I don't think Bernie should go after anyone. He must defend and would do best to appear worthily presidential and above the fray. But is he capable of controlling his angry face and modulating his yelling voice? Doesn't matter. Let Bernie be Bernie. It's worked so far, and how could he possibly change at this stage? Stand your ground, Bernie. Your mere presence as the frontrunner is horrifying and flummoxing to all the rest of them.

Elizabeth Warren should have a secret alliance with Bernie. All the delegates she collects can be handed over to Bernie later. She could give him the majority he needs at the convention. As she collects delegates, the radical left position gains force, but it's less obvious than it would be if all of them went to Bernie. She's serving his interests, and he can make her his VP choice.

In any case, Warren is not allied with Biden, Bloomberg, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar. They're the moderates, all begging for the nonradical voters in a desperate, bungling stop-Bernie effort. Warren should attack all of them, especially Bloomberg. She's good at that.

And what should Biden, Bloomberg, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar do? Continually barge in front of each other demanding to be seen as the one person who's palatable enough to have a ghost of a chance against Trump? Or will they take a first-things-first approach and insist they're the one to stop Bernie?They probably have convinced themselves that to do one is to do the other. The reason to vote for B/B/B/K is that Bernie must be stopped in order to stop Trump. But it has to be one of them, not 4 of them, and so they will have to turn on each other.

Bloomberg has a special position: He can say that he should be the one of the 4, because he has his own money, and none of the others has stood out enough as a candidate to have a stronger argument than that. That's why Biden, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar all need to keep beating up on Bloomberg, and that keeps Bloomberg in at least as bad a position as Biden, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar. And it keeps the entire group from mounting a serious challenge to Sanders.

Maybe Bloomberg will rise to the occasion. Expectations are low now, after last week's debate fiasco. Surely, he's taken some coaching and has a more realistic idea of how to do a debate. He's incredibly arrogant, but he got an epic humiliation. And everyone's interested in seeing what he can do to make a comeback. And now now there's less hope than ever that one of the other nonradicals (Biden, Buttigieg, or Klobuchar) can get all the attention, he's got reason to hope he can be the one. And he's got the motivation to regain his dignity and the constant boost of knowing that he's the one with all the money.
