Sanders is opposed to all trade deals including the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership, which the Obama administration plans to complete by the end of the year. He has called it “disastrous” and that it is “designed to protect the interests of the largest multi-national corporations at the expense of workers, consumers, the environment and the foundations of American democracy.”


Clinton has remained noncommittal when speaking about the TPP, but groups on both sides have been urging her to take a stance. Sanders has also pressured her to state a position, telling CNN that “it’s not a very difficult choice.”


“Are you on the side of working people who would suffer as a result of this disastrous trade agreement, and seeing their jobs go to China or Mexico, or are you on the side of corporate America and pharmaceuticals?” he said in the interview.

Yeah, I can see Hillary Clinton massively changing her positions to placate the only Socialist in Congress in fifty years and the tens of votes he brings.

He's running as a Democrat and Hillary will squash him.

If he runs as an Independent then she may be slightly concerned.

Comrade Sanders does not endorse your binary fried chicken options. Comrade Sander is the third way. A cold, raw drumstick slapped across your complacent bourgeois face.
Chicken from each according to his ability, chicken to each according to his hunger for deep-fried goodness with eleven herbs and spices!

Attention... we have an IDIOT ALERT

He has NO CHANCE of winning as a Democrat. He has NO CHANCE of winning as an Independent.

The only thing that would concern Hillary is if he ran as an Independent and siphoned enough votes from her in the general election.

Damn you're a dumb azz.

It's good to see Bernie in the race. He defines himself as a Democratic Socialist. (rather than the vapid Social Democrat). What that means in economic terms is..

He is a nationalist.. especially in regards to Free Trade, which has destroyed America's (and Canada's) economic vigour.

He is dirigiste.. in terms of defining a pro-active role for government in planning, facilitating, funding an integrated sovereign national industrial economy and in public ownership of critical natural monopolies (energy, tranportation, utilities, communication infrastructures)

He is a progressive.. especially in terms of taxation.. and rolling back the regressive tax regimes of the last 3 decades, and bringing unearned capital gains into full equality in tax terms with that of earned income.

He is regulator.. especially in reining in 'free' markets of commodities and primary resource inputs (notably oil and metals) by establishing a regulatory framework that discourages speculation and profiteering. But more importantly in currency, by re-nationalizing the American Dollar, holding it within strict exchange rates.. controlling credit in the national interest and eliminating futile derivative instruments. That means he would have to re-institute strict banking controls, by breaking up the large Wall Street Investment Firms, separating retail and investment banking into separate ownerships.

Hillary is a complete twit. She is bought and payed for by Wall Street, just like Bill was. She'll provide absolutely zero in terms of new ideas (or old ideas that worked in building the U.S. economy). She in every real sense is a facsimile of Republican in libertarian economic issues.. and a radical New Age feminist on social issues.
