They own the White House and both Chambers of Congress, and they wish to surrender.

I wonder if that Bernie Sanders groupie trying to assassinate the entire GOP Congress at a baseball game has rattled them.

The GOP has created their own mess here. By blindly backing this erratic President who is hell bent on running the executive branch like reality TV, hiring and firing on a whim, and is being played by the Russians like violin, the GOP have already gone too far down the path to salvage any credibility. But don't take my word for it, just check out the last elections in Alabama and Pennsylvania.

The Bernie groupie is small potatoes

I knew the fix was in when they refused to repeal Obamacare a second time, even though they all ran on that platform.

Trump was right about one thing, the entire political establishment is rigged.

Democracy is a sham.

All Trump did was add a massive amount to the debt and raise tariffs, something people like Bernie Sanders loves.

I like this honesty, though I wish it didn't come from a Republican ending his career. It would be refreshing to see Reps honoring principle over political aspirations.

I'd also like to see the same from Dems, who looked passed Hillary Clinton's many faults, and helped rig the election over Sanders. Choosing a Wall Street puppet with a history of war-mongering policies and flip-flopping on issues (like gay marriage) depending on what will make her more popular, help cost Dems the election.

Bernie is too far left to be President.
Someone more centrist is needed.

For the benefit of some of the Patriot groupies filling this forum,
that means somewhere in the middle. 😀

This doesn't have to be a choice between Bible punching, picket fence America in the 1950's and erecting a statue of Karl Marx in front of Capitol Hill. 🙄

I keep hearing this critique of Sanders, but no one really explains why.

What makes him "too far left" to be president? Kindly name some specifics.

He needs to step down to make room for all the Dims to impeach Trump.

That will be the circus for the next 3 years or so that we have to look forward to.

Er.....um.....a self proclaimed socialist that praises leaders like Castro ring a bell?

Wakey, wakey.

Bernie has declared himself a democratic socialist on numerous occasions during the 2016 campaign.
Being from Canada, I see him closely aligned with the Canadian NDP Party.
Which is Socialist.
The Canadian Liberal party is more Centrist.
Similar to Bill Clinton.
He did a good job on the economy although he had his problems keeping it in his pants.
Trump has made everyone forget about Bill lately though. 😀

Right. But what specifically makes him "too far left"? Is there any specific policy that puts him too far left? Or does declaring yourself a socialist automatically do that?

You tell us. For eight years, we had to listen to jackholes like you complain that Obama was a socialist, when he's a mere moderate. I'm guessing that, for you, anyone left of Reagan is too far left.

Bingo !!
Under Obama, America was still the most capitalist country in the world.

From a perspective of someone outside the US.
