POS
From the Washington Examiner:
Bernie Sanders claimed recently that “over 10,0000 innocent” Palestinians were killed by Israelis during the summer 2014 Gaza War as the result of an “indiscriminate” military operation.
These figures are much higher than those accepted by any side of the conflict. The Democratic primary candidate acknowledged to the New York Daily News that he wasn’t sure if those numbers were exactly accurate.
“Anybody help me out here, because I don’t remember the figures, but my recollection is over 10,000 innocent people were killed in Gaza. Does that sound right?” Sanders said in an interview with the newspaper’s editorial board on Monday.And, if that is not enough for you to believe Bernie Sanders is a piece of shit, then here he is (at about the 5:10 mark) claiming Israel has bombed Palestinians hospitals and schools:
Israel did not bomb schools. To my knowledge, Israel did not bomb hospitals.
I do know that a school was hit by tank fire, as Palestinian Jihadists had taken up rocket positions on the campus and were shelling Israel. Tank shells, fired from ground level, are not nearly the same thing as indiscriminately dropping bombs on schools.
Just to use the phrase "bombing schools" shows that Sanders is interested more in maligning Israel, casting Israel as evil, than he is interested in the truth.
By omitting context, and exaggerating the technique ("bombing" vs. "shelling:) Sanders is, essentially, accusing Israel of a terrible war crime (the indiscriminate murder of children).
To accuse Israel of "bombing hospitals and schools" is outlandish, disgusting, and libelous.
I will refrain from saying anymore, as I am not Jewish.

With any luck , he will expire before the elections, Hillary will loose to the Donald.
I increasingly think Trump isn't getting the nomination and that it is either going to be Cruz or Kasich. Both of whom will lose in a landslide even if Dems nominated a rock.
Trump seems to have no understood the nomination process that well. He thought people voting for him would be enough to get him the nomination. Speaks to his naivete to be honest.
Nico,
I agree with your that neither Cruz nor Kasich can win in November.
Could Trump win? Maybe, but not with so many GOPeers lining up against him.
AOW,
I believe if Trump is the nominee then the election is going to be his to lose.
Trump attracts people from all different political backgrounds. He's a pragmatist (or appears to be).
If he spends money and advertises and hits Hillary or Sanders at the right time and with the right means (instead of using Twitter exclusively) he will win.
He needs better advisers. He also needs people who understand politics. His VP needs to be a politician.
Trump needs to get his head out of his ass and understand that he is NOT right about everything and that he needs to listen to his advisers.
With all that said though I doubt he'll be the nominee. I think he misunderstood how the game is played.
He also thought that people were angrier than they really are. The reality is that a lot of people want to appear nice even if their heads are being chopped off rather than appear "MEAN". (There's a reason I think Trump is more like Churchill than Reagan, you can see a lot of similarities between Britain pre-WWII and America right now).
Trump overestimated the intelligence of a lot of voters, I think. And he overestimated his own intelligence and knowledge of how politics really works - he should have known that the elites don't give a $#!t about the will of the people. He should have run third party to begin with.
The progressive base is neo-Nazi and Bernie is playing to them.
Yeah, I agree too.
Trump is entertaining. And that counts for a lot. But, at this point, the man has some responsibility to his supporters. He's got to win, baby. Win.
