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. |
The problem is that people believe that the power rest in the President but totally ignore the other 2 section of our government. The majority of the power sits in the House and Senate. The President only have 2 real power, veto and go to war and even the go to war cannot happen unless Congress funds it. The only way a President is effective is if he has a good representation of his party in the House and Senate. If a President goes against his party lines then he will be a lame duck. Because of this, Bernie and Trump have big issues. Even Hillary will have trouble unless the Dems can pull back more seats in the House and Senate.
As for your assessment on Hillary, they all will say and do whatever it takes to gain power. Anyone going for the President job will do that including Bernie. The only key between any of these candidates is who will be the most effective in the office.
