Yes but that's your personally view. At the time there were plenty of people black or otherwise who thought Obama was a good choice. By the way I'm not saying he wasn't but certainly he seems have had a mixed reign. I leave that up to an american to decide.

I live where the great American wall will be built, and paid for by Mexico to avoid the criminal rapist illegals...which is where all the drug tunnels have been built under the wall already there. Make it profitable enough, and there will be more tunnels. It's really a reflection of an idiot who has no idea and no interest in how to really govern. I'll vote Hilary, and take a shower with bleach because we don't have the luxury of teaching Trump basic constitutional realities.
I like Bernie - he may not be able to do it all but he's right that we need to rebuild infrastructure - which will create jobs, and put money in the economy. It's not the rich that create jobs - it's the consumer.

A wall isn't going to stop desperate people, no matter how high its built

You never know. I think he can. He might not, but he has a chance. I mean, people should be able to see that it will be an all time low in our country to have to choose between Trump and Hillary, right?
Do you think that if Bernie doesn't win the nomination, will the left get behind Hilary?

No, I mean it is mathematically impossible for him to win. The best he can do is force a contested convention. But he can't win the ticket from the primaries.

But he can reframe the narrative - he's already won 18 states to Hilary's 23. The only real lead Hilary has is if she gets all the super-delegates that are handed out by the party machine. If those were not already handed out, it would still be in the air.

I'm not sure what everyone will do. Neither is a good option. I just know I will vote for pretty much anyone before Trump.
I'm not sure about the exactness of these things, but I'm pretty sure it's still up in the air. Too many people thinking that who don't bother to vote will actually cause him to lose. Don't let doubt create your reality for you!

Oh yeah - given that the Repubs have Trump - even a fair amount of big name Republicans are rejecting him.
If Trump is nominated, the GOP must keep him out of the White House - George Will

Sanders would have to win 2,383 delegates and only 933 remain. The only thing he can do is prevent Clinton from winning enough to secure it.

Sanders vs. Trump: Bernie Polls Better Than Clinton
This makes it sound like he still has a chance. Correct me if I'm wrong about that.

Most people have no idea what a wall would cost - just building the infrastructure in the desert will cost hundreds of millions. People can't work all day in 100+ temperatures without relief - and there are no towns other than Douglas and Nogales which already have walls. We are talking raw desert with no electricity, no water, no cooling, no shelter, no housing, no stores - and daily commutes of a couple hundred miles. Without that infrastructure, you're gonna have to build a lot more hospitals and morgues. The average survival rate in the desert for someone who is completely still is a couple of hours at best. Workers might last an hour before they keel over from heat stress - it's a freakin death trap. Even illegals being led by coyotes carrying water and food litter the desert with dead bodies and all they are doing is walking at night to get to the vehicles large companies bring to the border in order to get cheap labor.

Hispanic immigrants are the best immigrants US can get. They are much much better than Asian ones.
Yes, some of them deal with drugs and have gangs, but so were Irish and Italian immigrants more than 100 years ago. Finally the Irish and Italian immigrants blended in very well.
I can't say the same good words about a lot of Asian ones though. If concerned people are worrying about damaging the common foundation of America or something, they need to look for spies and dictatorship sympathizers who come mostly from Asia and work in academics as well as "high-tech" industries.

The US system is crazy complicated! And it probably only works in a 2 party system which doesn't seem right, there are way more than 2 points of view in the world.
