Facts: Gore lost to another candidate also campaigning as a centrist - barely. So that proves centrists can win.
Kerry lost to an incumbent president who used war to be even more popular. And became a victim of something new - numerous internet lies - ie swift boating. Kerry lost by a small margin.
Obama ran as a centrist. And successfully recruited left wing extremist support to his campaign. He defeated another centrist - McCain. Proving your point? McCain could not win because he was a centrist? But Obama won because he was a centrist.
Obama did same in the next election to defeat another centrist - Romney. So Romney lost because he was a centrist?
Only relevant is who is presidential material. Centrist or not is clearly irrelevant.
Relevant are facts that define a responsible president. Facts (demonstrated in his book before he was elected) said George Jr would not be. So he was not.
One need only view over 3500 contractors that Trump stiffed to know he would be the crappy lying asshole that he is. Then view lies even in the Cellar that deny such facts. Even his supporters will lie - because that is the man he really is. Not only is Trump a bad president. His history said he would be. His supporters even lie about how he stiffs contractors, employees, and bankers.
Bernie hypes solutions that ignore the problem AND that will not work. He is also lying.
Relevant is only how a presidential candidate thinks. An honest man defines a problem long before hyping solutions. Sanders solutions do not solve problems; may make things worse; and exist by completely ignoring what the problem really is. Defines a bad leader.
Meanwhile, everyone can see that the American economy is going into recession - because of Trump. Tax cuts for the rich were a first destructive blow. The Fed, for the fourth time, has been forced to lower rates. This time, even before their usual meeting. And by twice as much as all other rate cuts. After three rate cuts, things were still getting worse.
The Fed sees a recession that may cause major job losses in four years.
A recession created by someone with only a 30 second attention span.
Using defective reasoning similar to what Sanders demonstrates. Neither man demonstrates enough integrity to be a responsible leader. Well, at least Sanders has more than a 30 second attention span.
Only relevant question. Which one identifies a problem BEFORE advocating a solution? Neither.
