Why do people think Bernie is good?

 

Trump is an extremely cocky and ignorant person. Don't you see how he answers questions? Ask him how he'll make Mexico pay for the wall if they say no. He'll just say, "they will" and moves on.

Hillary? I think we've all gotten used to her. She's an oppurtunistic person. Pounces upon anything that'll help her. From saying she regrets the Iraq war to minimum wage increases, she's doing whatever she can just to gain power.

 

Bernie? Here's the problem. In terms of character, he's not a bad dude. The problem with him is his plans- tax the rich, alright. But how will that make a difference? The rich already pay craploads of taxes. Even if you were to make their taxes 100% of their salary, that won't help America at all.

 

Face it, the candidates are trash. Nothing we can do about it.

Trump has said how he will get them to pay for the wall.  You re-negotiate NAFTA with Mexico and make them pay for it if they want to continue to continue with the trade deal.  The wall is about 1/5 of the yearly trade deficit with Mexico, you could negotiate it over several years.  Exiting NAFTA would be very damaging for Mexico, you can bet it would be tough to say no.  Yes, it's a political stunt, you could easily get the money from elsewhere but this is the same kind of thing he wants to do with other trade deals.  

Wow. I've looked all over the internet to see his explanation. Weird how I never found it until now.

Thanks a lot.
