That's 2meIRL moment.
Here's one where they've removed the orange and hair dye.

It's like when you see something horrific but you can't look away.

Bloomberg outright wins this measure. He's got the highest numbers of them all here, followed by Biden then Sanders. But Bernie isn't allowed, and Biden is just terrible and will probably lose.

Bloomberg said something like 'there's nothing he can say that will hurt me', he knows Trump will call him Little Mikey or something and tell him to go get his shine box to stand on. He's ready for that.
What if he tells Trump he must be better than him because he has more money? What would Trump be able to say to that?
That's the DNC's man. Right there. Invincible on the who's richer question and he's not Bernie.

To be fair, it makes sense. Bloomberg is all the things trump claims to be. He’s an actual Billionaire, he’s actually huge on The TVs, he’s a successful businessman, and he’s racist to boot. Bloomberg got the Trump base on lock

Yeah, insured in name only. Why are your standards so low? I don't think having a $5000 deductible with a 60/40 hospital coverage is really having health care for the vast majority of US citizens.

Still, the number of uninsured people clearly went down. I have an 1800 deductible on an ACA plan btw, not sure how much hospital coverage is...

I already told you what is fair. Billionaires not paying less than everyone else, as is the case with Social Security and as is recently the case with their effective tax rate.
 Under Bernie's 2016 Medicare for All the bottom 95% would pay even less for healthcare than they do today. His 2020 plan is even more progressive.

Sorry, you lost me with your advanced math. What I said is that Bernie's plan is for borders more open than what we have now hence he wants to "open" the boders (verb)
No, what you said is "Bernie wants to open the borders". He doesn't. Now you know.

Yes - most migrants declare they want to settle in the US, Europe or Australia. Only 1% want to go to Russia - my guess they are from Caucasus or the various -stan countries who are ethnic Russians and would not make it to Europe https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/11/these-are-the-countries-migrants-want-to-move-to/
I never said Russia was the most desired country in the world. I said the people who migrated there wanted to go there. Your claim was "Russia does not have this problem because, guess what, no one wants to emigrate there" which is clearly false. LOTS of people emigrate to Russia, even if we make believe it wasn't by choice.

Of course I wouldn't be ok with healthcare costs tripling. But why would healthcare costs triple when costs are so much less in every other country that doesn't use for profit health insurance? We have countless real world examples showing how much cheaper it will be and you're just repeating the scare propaganda that for profit insurance companies are selling you.
Quote:
Metoo said: In case it has not registered with you all I said was that politicians lie about the cost to get their pet projects going, not that the current US system is cheaper/better than the government run alternatives.
Bernie makes all of his calculations public. We've had countless discussions here about his 2016 numbers proving them to be accurate. And you yourself said "Sanders cannot lie. He is ideologically pure"
Now I'll ask you the kind of question you've asked me (except I'll use real world data rather than fantasy): How would you feel if private insurance costs keep increasing like we KNOW they have been?

It would not affect me personally but I think the US healthcare system sucks and needs an overhaul so more like being sorry for the dudes who end up paying the exuberant medical bills. I see from your graph that the state-run system costs are also climbing and I would feel the same if the trend continued - albeit to a lesser extent because the rate of increase is slower.
See - it is possible to answer a question directly, without dodging or implying that whoever asked it is somehow mentally deficient. Of course your scenario is a "fantasy" - we do not know that the costs will rise. You are just assuming they might, based on the past experience (much like I assume that Bernie's 2.2% estimate would be way off - we KNOW they always are).
His 2016 numbers are also a fantasy - none of his ideas got put into practice so we have no idea what the real world data would have been. I accept that he believes in this fantasy and so is truthful in that sense.

A similar question was posted in another thread.
Me personally I'd run like a startled gazelle from Melania. Bernies Mrs looks normal, I'd have a beer with her.
Let's change the premise, which woman would you be more likely to trust?
