Against the violent talk and now actual violence coming out of the Bernie Sanders campaign for president, Bernie's soaring in the polls anyway.
He's doing so because unlike pretty much any Democrat except his probable nearest rival, Michael Bloomberg, he's actually talking about the economy, something TeamTrump has held a monopoly on.
Problem is, he's promising economic paradise, a full creation of 20 million jobs. Via Nate Silver, here's one of his ads that ran in California:
Sanders says he's going to create 20 million jobs? Through state intervention or socialist central planning, presumably? Better living through socialism?
Give us a break.
For starters, been there done that. Way back in 2008,
In India and China...

Notice: he didn't say NEW JOBS. If the old commie gets his way, he will put 20 plus million Americans on HIS GOVERNMENT PAYROLL by taking over private business. Yeah Chavez..

To which Warren said: I’ll see your 20 million jobs and raise it to 30 million jobs plus free food to everyone in North America! Don’t stop me now, I can out-promise anyone.

He has no intention of creating 20 million jobs, and could not with his command economy. Socialism is a virtually impossible sale to a prosperous people. He has to Mimic Trump while dating the American electorate.
I also saw a story on his crowd in Des Moines. It took booze and a concert to draw the crowd of 3000. Trump drew a capacity crowd of 7,500+ with hundreds outside, no booze, no concert.
Don't get comfortable, but the Democrats will either nominate a communist or alienate a rabid bloc whose numbers they cannot afford to lose at the polls. All this before Blexit, before the campaign and before a violent Democrat convention. America will take notes.

I'm sure that the 20-million jobs Bernie is talking about are in the penal colonies and re-education camps.

Sure he can - - if you count hard labor in a gulag as a "job."

Bernie Sanders is a communist BUM who never created anything in his entire life. He used his influence as Vermont Senator to get his wife a job running Burlington College-and she ran it alright, ran it into the ground. He is not mentally equipped to run anything more complicated than a lemonade stand. He hasn't earned a penny of income that was not courtesy of the taxpayers. Of all the Democratic candidates, he is the one I loathe the most, and his followers are the most prone to violence. Only the most mindless, intellectually -challenged people pay him any attention. And after a heart attack at his age, he's got one foot in the grave already. Go retire somewhere warm, Comrade, like Havanna.

Creating 20 million new jobs? We have the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years. How about don’t fix what ain’t broken, Commie?!

So share the secret comrade. How would you do this? Dems/Communists have NEVER, EVER managed to expand an economy. They reliably drive them to ruin. So pardon us for being skeptical and wanting detailed plans instead of pontifications. And once we have the plans, WHERE has this been successfully tried before? We have an expanding economy now. It's real. Why should we believe you have a grab bag of party gifts?
Here's an idea Bernie. They could really use your help in Cuba. Why don't you go there and test out your great ideas in their wreck of an economy due to their Communist tilt. Once you have gotten them humming along, you can come back and we might give it a try.

Interesting. We currently have more jobs than applicants. 20 million more jobs without applicants really doesn't help the economy. Talking trash!

Fact #1. We are having trouble filling job openings now.
Fact #2. In almost every instance of prolonged unemployment in tgis economy, the problem lies with the applicant. No skills, poor resume, unemployable for various reasons, holding out for the dream job, or flat out cant or wont hold down any job.

Digging ditches and shoveling manure, MAYBE, but even at that level, I'll bet that this idiot couldn't create 10,000 jobs, total.

Stalin created lots of jobs too - like digging coal mines in Siberia, making nuclear bombs with only a pair of rubber gloves for radiation protection, and digging their own graves.

The only job Bernie cares about is his own and a bigger paycheck. He would sell US out in a heartbeat.

Commie Bernie has claims.
Trump has an actual track record.
Lowest unemployment in 49 years.
Millions off of food stamps.
Largest real wage growth in 10 years, and very low inflation.
Lowest war deaths in a long time.
Lowest gas prices in years.
Rolling back insane regulations, all across the economy.
Huge trade wins for the USA.
Many new factories opening in the USA.
THAT is REAL, Commie Bernie has NEVER held a real job, has zero clue how a
real job even happens.

This is laughable. He never ran anything in his life. I doubt he could hire a kid to run a lemonade stand.

Three employees in every public restroom. One to hand you a paper towel, one to pick it up off the floor, and one to throw it away.

Too late, buddy.
We have 5.75 million people looking for work. You CAN'T create 20 million jobs unless you have a time machine and can go back 30 years and ban all abortions. BTW, there are 6.8 million job openings. If you can't create 5.75 million more workers with that, how do you legislate/govern to create 20 million?
