If Bernie actually gets [s]elected, then you will see the most marginalized President in the history of this country, maybe enough to eliminate the idea of a figurehead President. Even Jimmy Carter was given more room to do anything by his handlers.

I know he is. But to be honest he scares me. I don't trust any of the candidates but his plans have huge voids in it. And I fear that people will get caught up in the hype and rush in not realizing the consequences. The free college tuition plan? I just finished paying thousands for mine. I and many like me were and still are in debt for years working our ass off to pay our debts. He would completely undermine that because I would now have to be taxed more to pay for everyone else's now? Medicare for all? The quality of Drs who take Medicare is well below average. While I wish that wasn't true people will be people and want more money. So you will end up with mediocre doctors seeing too many patients causing poor quality of care and long waits for care. I want everyone to have equal care and fair taxation. But these plans are not the cure. Human nature is always the enemy with this. Finding a balance will need sacrifices but to the people who have more than enough to sacrifice. Why is it that no one makes a big deal about car insurance? It's required by law to have it. Yet no one complains when they have to shop for one. By forcing insurances to compete for business the premiums come down. Making it more available to more people. While this can be improved I think insurance companies need to be taken to task to form better solutions. I do not want to rely on politicians who are far more corrupt and crooked than any business. Just my thoughts. Please understand that I feel that we need and CAN achieve these goals but more details and options need to be utilized. We need to find that elusive balance.
