BERNIE...
Lets talk about Bernie.
I've been quite aware of Bernie Sanders for a long long time. A long time.
What is fascinating, just recently during this election process have millions of others discovered this Bernie fella ever existed.
His millions of followers probably never caught Bernie on the nightly news shows, mostly always MSNBC, and certainly never on Fox.
They never seen Bernie ranting about the republican agenda vs the progressive agenda.
And FYI, Bernie had been ranting on a regular basis during the ENTIRE GW Bush administration, in case you never noticed.
Another fact Bernie's millions of followers probably had no idea of.
Bernie and Ted Kennedy went hand in hand.
They had the same mindset when it came to helping people, helping the middle class, and sharing outrage over what harm republicans were doing to both.
The reason the millions of Sanders supporters never heard of Bernie, and the reason Bernie was only getting 3% tops in his early polls as a new candidate, was that most people had no clue what Bernie was all about.
Bernie was a strong voice for the middle working class, but his voice was often smothered by others much more in the lime light i.e. Ted Kennedy and Elisabeth Warren.
One had to be a loyal MSNBC fan to ever catch sight of Bernie Sanders or have a clue what Bernie stood for.
Again, Ted Kennedy raised the very same concerns as Bernie, however while Ted attracted all the attention, Bernie was quietly shoved off onto MSNBC.
Once Bernie gained national attention, and that only because Ted Kennedy passed away and Bernie decided to run for president, did the masses discover this unknown guy with the last name of Sanders.
Who is this grumpy cantankerous old man?
And is he actually speaking my concerns? Is he really on my side? Is he saying everything I want to hear from a politician? Wow!
When did this happen?
And thus this do or die love affair developed between presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and millions of followers that had never heard of this guy before.
They began to realize this old man is pretty damn cool.
Well... frankly followers of Bernie, there is very little difference between Hillary Clinton and your Bernie Sanders.
Both are in fact on the same page.
And if you are a young college educated progressive/independent, you should fully understand this.
However... and a BIG however, there is definitely a Grand Canyon width of difference between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
If Sanders supporters fail to get their way with Bernie, which now will be the case, the tragedy for the Sanders folks would be turning against and refusing to support Hillary.
With Hillary as president, students will still be able to live that dream of a college education.
No, it might not be free but your costs will be lessened and your financial burdens affordable under a Clinton administration.
And under a Trump administration?
Forget about your college education or having any hopes of one.
Going to college and graduating strapped with huge amounts of debt will become those good old days of past under a Trump administration.
Under a Trump administration, not only will tuition rise to incredible levels, expect none but for the very few from extremely wealthy parents to have a shot.
Under a Trump administration, tuition will become so costly that no bank, not a single one would take the risk of investing into your educational future.
Unless mommy and daddy are loaded with money, you will have no path.
No bank is ever going to risk or accept the potential loss of lending money to the college hopeful. Not when tuition is sky high, and the ability of the graduate to repay completely unrealistic in the eyes of the bank.
Unless you plan on graduating as a neurosurgeon, no bank will believe you able to repay your loans.
Strapping a student with thousands in debt will no longer be a factor.
No bank will ever give that loan in the first place.
Not under a Trump administration.
So my point for Bernie supporters, those Bernie or bust folks, THINK!
THINK HARD!
As far as Bernie Sanders goes, he is not going to be "The Man".
The man is going to be a lady.
And pissed off as you might be, THINK! Think really hard.
You can have Hillary, which is pretty damn close to having Bernie, or you can have Donald Trump.
And if you chose or enable Donald Trump out of anger and frustration, expect to get screwed.
Screwed as you can't imagine.
A screwing from president Donald Trump that will enable the full republican agenda.
That republican agenda promising every citizen a hard cold painful uneducated future.
And a US Supreme court straight out of medieval times.
The very future envisioned by none other than Paul Ryan, every republican in congress, and your new president Donald John Trump.
So, there you have it.
The difference between Bernie, Hillary, and Donald.
Two of which are very much alike.
One of which is entirely different from the other two.
Can you tell the difference?
You better learn asap, for you own good?
