It is kind of ironic that you say this, because a Sanders presidency would be a matter of stalemate between he and his opposition (he even admitted as much in an interview regarding the difference between him and Obama.) This makes his policies the "unrealistic" ones. Furthermore the levels of spending and tax increases (for all classes) are not in sync with a large number of Americans. This is not to say that certain Republicans, like Trump - for example, are better with their budget plans and views on economics, especially with their ridiculous amounts of defense spending, but they are more coherent and in line with what the economy is like now, and where American politics stands on average. Not that "realism" is a feature that should be solely or even greatly valued in a candidate (I personally think principle trumps "realistic policies"), but with the "unrealistic policies" comment you seemed to place value on it. |
He's polling better than Clinton is against his Republican rivals. When I talk about realism in regards to policies I'm not talking about liklihood they will pass congress I am talking about the likelihood they will do good for our economy. We can't finance the government on Carson's 10% tax the math doesn't work. The math doesn't work on any of the republican budget proposals really and hasn't for any they've proposed in a long time.
