Are Bernie and the Donald running for sainthood?

Bernie Saint flat icoSainthood and its attendant self delusion is inevitable in any political campaign.

Bernie says the right things, exciting ideas.  But, he rarely offers details on how he would do this. Trump and Mexico wall

Donald says lots of things too, some of them I might even agree with.  But, most of his YUGE ideas are so simple minded as to be ludicrous.

Then, too, I do agree with the Donald about illegals.  Politically correct terms like “undocumented” are BS.  Personally, I favor the Romney answer .. national ID cards for all, super fines for anyone who employs a non-citizen who does not have a visa that allows work.

Since I do not know how to deport 12 million folks or turn every Muslim community into a ghetto, I am not going to support Trump.

The problem I have with Bernie is whether he is running for Saint or whether he is the real thing.  Here is a short list of the proposals that I do not understand.

Single Payer .. WTF?  Noble idea but how?  Is Bernie going to place cost controls across US medicine?

Free College .. Yay yipee.  But WHO is going to get this freebie?  Do we pay for all students regardless of their aptitudes?  Do we subsidize the wannabee rock musician taking music classes?  What about the aspiring Christian preacher?

Saudi Arabia  Culpability …Me too! Bernie wants to allow citizens to sue Saudi Arabia for 9/11.   But, what does that do to our economy when SA  embargoes us?  Oh, and how many American soldiers will serve in SA knowing their sovereign protection is gone?

TPP .. Well, not so much. Has BS read the agreement?  The TPP excludes China and Russia!  So, does Ha Neci (the prophet) think he can renegotiate with all these countries without China taking over the things?

STEM CELLS .. Really??  Yep, Bernie not only has voted against use of human embryonic stems cells, the law makes such science a felony!

$15 minimum wage … Where?  He is giving Ms Clinton a lot of feces over this.  Surely, Bernie knows that the  US is a big place. The wage in DC is a different question from the wage in rural Kansas.  What can be done by a McDonalds in Seattle, might bankrupt a mom and pop cafe in Sultan.

GMOOK, OK  I sort of get it. except it seems as if Bernie has not had the time to sit down with a molecular biologist who might explain to him that “GMO” is so meaningless that it should include all plants like corn that were genetically engineered thousands of years ago.  And then there is the likelihood that only “GMO” foods are likely to save the world’s poor from starvation.

Tax ReformYAY!!! on this.  I just wish his own returns showed less advantage of tax breaks. 

And then there was Bernie’s all too excellent trip to the Vatican.
