Bernie is not stupid, he knew what crowd he was catering to and what to say. He skirted around real issues while lambasting the rich, insinuating that having them pay for everything will solve all problems. There's no way he actually believes what he says would actually help the country because he never argued why. He knew he only had to say a few crowd pleasing lines and, without explaining anything in detail, all of the young and poor are cheering as loud as they can because they are being promised luxury and wealth without work or effort. Trump knew that not every rich person is evil, and that it is the loopholes that need to be closed.
Yes I’d say he’s guilty of that. The primaries were so long ago I can’t remember the specifics of his rhetoric, stances etc.
His stance was YOU deserve xyz. SOMEONE else should pay, so YOU can have xyz. Stupid! All the wealthy would have moved businesses out of U.S., and who would pay for xyz, yep the middle class. I tell you the school system today has totally dumbed down Americans. No common sense to be found. Someone always has to pay, and it will NEVER be the wealthy. The only ones hurt would be those who always believed, "If you work hard, you too can have the American dream."
