Hillary vs Bernie

[dps]

I really don't get why OMalley isn't doing better--he would have been my pick. That said I haven't been paying so much attention to anything aside from the trump circus, so maybe there is a reason he is going no where.

Of the two, I'd say Hillary.

I'm a bit puzzled that O'Malley hasn't been doing better, if only because of the obvious negatives that Clinton and Sanders have.

He has his own negatives, as he is considered the chief inspiration for the character Tommy Carcetti on The Wire, who sells out all his campaign promises for political advancement.

Played by the same guy who plays Littlefinger.

And no one has answered my question about CdM.

Well, I don't think he's said anything about who he's supporting. It's not as important as bashing my eating habits, which he does with every post.

O'Malley is, as far as I can tell, a vanilla establishment Democrat.  Hillary has every establishment voting bloc already locked up.  She's a professional woman who married a black man.  Only way O'Malley could pick up any votes is if he announced he was transgender.

Democratic primary voters don't care about emailgate.

He made a lot of impossible promises, like a path to citizenship for illegal immigrant, creation of a Palestinian state, drastic reduction of oil consumption/CO2 emissions, etc, etc.

I have no idea what you are saying about Saunders.  You just provide vague assertions that he is dumber than you thought and that most or all of his ideas are impossible to implement because of strawman.

maybe it's more that sanders bases his entire campaign around impossible-to-achieve goals. I don't remember obama doing that -- just vague hope, change, etc.

Higher taxes on the rich.

Of course, I won't vote under any circumstances.  But hypothetically speaking, I'm in the anybody but Sanders crowd.

What do mean?  Sanders proposals that could pass in the current House and Senate?  None.

So the same success rate as Obama?

So you are voting for anyone who will not give you a raise?

Don't know how it works in the US.  But in Hong Kong, civil service pay is largely determined by a gigantic, annual survey.  We ask the private companies how their wages/salaries changed in the past year.  There is a really complex programme that computes the results.  Of course, if the HK government faces deficits, they can simply ignore the results and say, civil service pay should be cut by xx% (happened a few years ago).  Generally though, the government respect the survey.  Who is in charge has little impact on civil service pay.

Freedom, the Hong Kong way.
