Would anyone say that Bernie is a 'Great American"?

Land of opportunity is a good start. Bernie's and Warren's plans will stifle it. If you lived in a welfare country like France, Finland, Belgium, Italy, Denmark, Austria, Sweden or Greece, you would have a difficult time being successful, as defined by comparing success in the USA. Because, your money is taken by the government. Bernie and Warren would be all in for that. Tax revenue in France, for instance, is 46%. You want Bernie to take 46% of your salary? He will take more than that. He thinks that we are a rich country, so we can afford it!! Can you?

Edit: I just looked up Sweden....Average worker pays 30% in income tax, but additionally close to 30% in hidden taxes. ;That is 60%. Sure would be hard to get ahead in Sweden.

America is great because you can get ahead, and be anything you want to be.

All sides have crazies .

Seriously!?

You're going there!?

Sure. Sure. All sides have some crazies. Even Christianity had its Savonarola and the Love Generation had its William Powell.

But only one side is crazies, and we all know which side goes for the pussy-grabber and the "Rationalism", don't we?

As long as you're willing to stomp on everyone else on your way up, you mean. That's how Trump did it.

He'd have been stomped into the mud if he'd had to do it all by himself. No, the way Trump did it is by being given it by his daddy, and only then stomping on others from a safe, silver-spoon penthouse.

No, Trump inherited a massive fortune and subsequently squandered most of it.
