      You people are such suckers. How many more decades does he have to keep making empty promises and failing till you dump him? It works out great for him, he gets you to donate money to him and in turn he proposes pie-in-the-sky welfare programs he knows can't pass, and when he fails he just blames the party that he's not actually a member of, all the while trashing the financial class of which he is a member. It's the most brilliant grift in left-wing politics.

He went into the lions’ den, and schooled them on the economics of healthcare. At one point he even had the audience (picked by Fox News, remember) applauding for him.

      I find it more important that politicians do their job and fixing the system than entertain us on late night every month. Perhaps my expectations of those representing us is too high of a bar. Capitalism is the least of our problems when we have toxic leaders pushing for exclusion of minorities and their voices in this country. Increased violence against minorities, stripping them of their ability to vote, villifying them at every opportunity. Of course, if capitalism is more important to a person that that... they don't deal with the daily hate and violence minorities deal with.
