The US doesn't have an outright social democratic party cos the first Roosevelt hunted down the ideology. A lot of what Sanders talks about is social democrat.

Nothing to do with your spelling at all, old chum (although you really should proof read some of the shite you put up here). Rather, I was laughing at the absolute vitriol and spite you mustered up to spit out "you liberals" and then how you proceeded to, again, vocally support Bernie!


For most it is not hard to understand, Sanders is, to me, the only decent human being running, I would support Kasic but he has no chance, Bernie is a socialist, look it up in the dictionary son.

Another reason us the American people want change, real change, killory is the epitome of liberal corporate greed, trump is the epitome if liberal corporate greed, Cruz is a smug git that is too far to the right for my tastes and the only option is the been, sexily the mist decent person running, if Americans want change then have at it, anyone but trump or Clinton will do me.

Hopefully that makes sense to you but it went, you are nit the brightest sadly.

Yes, he is a socialist. He is also liberal.

Sure I am a social liberal, fiscal conservative, if I lived in England i would have been a labor party supporter all my life.

???

New Labour?

Fiscal conservative (in the US at least) paradoxily means a supporter of a liberal economy... the opposite of Bernie Sanders's position

Is momentum building in NY for Sanders?

Whats the word on the street J70 et al?

The brother in law is voting Bernie. So is the wife. Haven't decided myself.

But there is little in the way of signs or bumper stickers about to gauge the neighbours or the area.

I've seen a few ads on tv and got one call from Bernie's campaign, but apart from that and a few newsreels about various candidate rallies, you could easily live here and not be aware that, for the first time in decades, the NY primaries actually matter.

I thought the audience with the pope might have swung it for you J70? No? ;)

Looks like Clinton is gonna win it fairly convincingly anyway there isnt a great likelihood of the polls being so far out for such a large state

On the other hand looks like Mr Trump is gonna get his biggest win yet.

We'll know all tomorrow I suppose

Killary is a1%er and warmonger who favours spend but I wouldn't  define her as liberal. I wouldn't say Ariel Sharon was a conservative either.

I admire this pope greatly, but he doesn't swing it either way.

Trump will win today, but fcuk me has any candidate ever done so much whining and crying. How it is suddenly news to him that delegates are only bound during the first convention vote is beyond me.

But then he's not renowned for his deep command of the details.

Just like the kenyan lad then. He turned out ok in your opinion.

Two of Donald Trump's children won't be able to vote for their father in the New York primary next week, after failing to change their party affiliation in time for the state's 19 April primary.

"They feel very, very, guilty," Donald Trump said of his two children, Ivanka and Eric, who are both New York residents.

Both Trump children are registered to vote as independents, and therefore cannot participate in New York's Republican primary.



I blame the parents.  :D

Do we have to refer to all political figures by their families' country of origins? Trump could be the German/Scotch lad. Cruz could be the Canadian/Cuban lad.

Or is it just the black ones?

There was me thinking that they were all Americans. Not to birthers like you, Foxy, eh?

Not remotely like Obama (only the willfully ignorant or plain stupid could equate the two) but thanks for playing.

Foxcommander has an issue with Obama and Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and Black Lives Matter and affirmative action and so on and so forth.
