I felt the Bern

Last week's Democratic Debate was my first real exposure to the Bernie Sanders phenomenon. And I gotta say, the fact that this lunatic (and that's really what he is) is drawing huge crowds tells you how putrid Hillary is as a candidate.

First of all he looks like an escaped mental patient . With his wild white hair and crazy eyes he reminds me of Doc Brown...  insane electrified colander on his head Doc Brown. Even his delivery... If he was running down Fifth Avenue shouting that the end of the world was nigh, how would he sound different?

And his understanding, or lack thereof, of economics is laughable. Here's 18 trillion dollars in program proposals... Don't sweat it though, we'll tax Billionaires to pay for it.  Well, there are something like 500 Billionaires in the country. You do the math... Because Bernie clearly hasn't.

What an awful, awful field the Democrats has produced. If the GOP can't win this, and I think there's a really good chance they can't, we might as well hang it up. We won't win the White House again until some major corrective event occurs... If ever.
