Bernie is an Independent, not a Democrat - just like Paul is not a Republican, but a Libertarian.
They're both simply caucusing with the larger parties to increase their chances.
Does that help?
Bernie is to the Dems what Paul is to the GOP.
That will create a generation of broken souls.
This is a ridiculous premise from an outright nutbag lunatic psycho in a suit.
Rand is also not showing up in the polls at ALL. Because he's too squeaky clean and the Paul family has been maligned by the GOP

But Bernie is showing up in the polls ... and he is also squeaky clean. Not one thing he stands for hurts anyone but the uber-greedy rich.
He wants tuition and health care for foreign nationals, AKA ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

So?
The vast majority of them pay into the system - they participate in our society - because they shop here, and work here, and even if they're working "under the table" (although MOST of them pay taxes) they are providing valued services and also spending their earnings right here.
As opposed to the wealthy, who keep their money hoarded OUT of the country.
Ted Cruz would be GREAT if he laid of the "God Stuff", but he won't.
Donald Trump is the ANSWER to a lot of our ills, but he's an arrogant douche with Fascist tendencies , and too 'strong' for his own good. He's a bully.

How would you make it stricter than it already is?
I don't know. Just wanted to see how open you were to compromise.
I think the anti-abortion folks would do a better job at stopping abortions if they were to focus on healthcare and taking care of those in need. Make changes to the system that support those people that are not in a position to raise a child because of economic reasons.
Perhaps someone like Cruz would be willing to compromise on those sorts of issues if the pro-choice side is willing to compromise as well. Think he would budge a little or not?

In the spirit of that statement, would people such as yourself be willing to compromise on stricter abortion laws in exchange for, let's say, universal healthcare or free public housing for the homeless and poor?
Is there any room for compromise by either side of this issue?
On abortion itself, if there were more services to care for children after they're born I would be ok with tightening abortion laws. But that means more people need to be willing to adopt more children, there needs to be a lot of daycare, there needs to be a social safety net for those children growing up and even into adulthood, there needs to be outreach programs to help raise children when the parents can't, and many others.
What?? You got Obamacare. It's the Democrats dream and baby.
I can't imagine why you aren't happy with the healthcare system *you're* elected leaders created and implemented.
