I would vote for Bernie over a Republican establishment

[TNHarley]

Hypothetically, if Bernie wins the nom and a republican establishment wins the nom, I would vote for Bernie.
I don't like a lot of Bernies policies. I also don't think he would be able to do all he wants. Some of it is just ridiculous. Like a TNHarley estimation of 60-70% tax rate.. However, he is anti-establishment and seems pretty damn honest. Most of all, he actually cares about America.
If a republican establishment gets it: Kasich, Rubio, Bush etc, I will not vote for them.
And I damn sure will not vote for the corrupt cankles. Only a complete moron would vote for her.

The republican establishment is very bad, I agree. But an old hippie socialist is worse. I gritted my teeth and voted for John McCain. Not enough other people did the same. The republican establishment is taking us leftward but the conservatives may still take back the GOP. I don't think it is wise to assure the continued out of control train leftward by voting for Sanders.

Bernie is out there, no doubt. Another thing I don't like him is our defense under him. He wants to turn us into New Zealand lol
Those republican establishment assholes are no better than the limp wrists. They are themselves.

Can you define "establishment Republican"? Was Reagan established?

Reagan supported amnesty and corporations.

I would never vote for Trump, but if any other Republican candidate was running against Sanders, I'd vote for the Republican. If it was Trump v Sanders, I wouldn't vote.

I can't imagine that someone who claims to be a conservative is so consumed by hatred of the Republican establishment that they'd vote for a self-avowed socialist. It means you hate Republicans more than socialism.

That's bizarre.

Reagan would be a RINO amongst the Crazies in the party today. (There are only two wings of the GOP - RINOs and Crazies.)

The Crazies glom on to the myth of Reagan more than Reagan the actual President.

I don't claim that. At all. I am far from a conservative.
I dislike the establishment, period. He is a socialist, sort of, but he focuses on America, mostly. Hard to fully say that when he supports amnesty..I think that is mostly ignorance, though. However, a lot of his bullshit would never fly.

What makes them crazy? Because they are tired of being fucked over? Because they want to focus on America?

You think he would be able to get a 60-70% tax rate passed?

Because they believe in crazy things like Obama was born in Kenya.

The marginal tax rate in California is currently 57% for the highest income earners. We once had a 92% tax rate.

With a Democrat House and Senate, I could see it.

If you think Obama sucked because he was a socialist, Bernie is Obama times 10.

Didn't Pearl HArbor just get bombed? Besides, didn't that rate only apply to people making like 200K then? That would be like 3 million today lol.
I could see that with the Dems in control. But will they be? lol
I would bet Bernie wants to tax people making around 150-200K.

well hell has frozen over....tn and i agree

Obama isn't a socialist. He is a moderate if anything. He has fascist, socialist and conservative ideals coming from him all the time.
