What issue is more important to you? Gun control or regulating Wall Street?

The MSM says Hillary won the debate because Sanders stumbled on gun control but seem to gloss right over Hillary's answer on Wall Street when she said she told Wall Street to "Cut it out" before the big crash. Hillary is against re-instating Glass Steagall, Bernie is for it.

Don't believe me that this is a them from the MSM? Just check out what comes up with a search of "Hillary Clinton stumbles on Wall Street". https://www.google.com/#q=hillary+clinton+stumbles+on+wall+street Virtually nothing about Hillary's horrendous answer on WS and a crap load of articles on how Sanders stumbled on guns.

So lets settle where DU democrats fall on the importance of what seemed like the two major issues that each candidate seemed to score points on or stumble on. Gun control and regulating Wall Street.

Which issue and answer was more important to you?

In the comment section on a scale from 1 to 10 rank the importance of each issue to you.

For me:

Who would work harder to regulate Wall Street - 10
Who would work for more gun control - 2

Buying a gun for protection is usually for the mathmatically challenged

I remember when I was in college and my statistics professor said he didn't gamble because gambling was for people who were mathematically challenged. I never forgot that line and have perhaps gambled once or twice $5 or $10 bucks in my entire life. I loved that saying so much I started using it when discussing guns with people because statistics show you are generally less safe with a gun in the house. In fact it was that lesson by my professor that helped me decide not to buy a gun.

I am not big on taking away peoples rights and if people want to have a gun and increase the probability of either themselves or a family member killed that unfortunately is there choice but I inform them that the math and probabilities are stacked against them. I personally have always been a fan of science, mathematics, statistical probability and make decisions that improve my probability of being safe or just doing what is probably most beneficial to my wellbeing. That being said, there are instances where having a gun is probably a good decision and helps your probabilities for safety but you need to weigh them carefully. For example some neighborhoods are very dangerous and for some people who travel long distances and risk having car trouble out in the middle of nowhere it might be warranted to have a gun in the car and improve your probability of being safe, but in the vast majority of cases you are probably increasing the probability of someone you love getting hurt or killed by owning a gun. Decisions are usually best when you weigh the statistics first and I personally think the campaign against guns would probably be more effective if people were told that owning a gun is for the mathematically challenged as the probabilities for remaining safe go down with a gun. It might make them think a bit more about buying the gun if it were put in these terms. Or maybe not since so many people suck at math. But as I said, owning a gun for safety is usually for the mathematically challenged.

Regardless of what happens to Sanders in the Primary's he is educating millions of young folks

about the good qualities of Socialism. He is laying the groundwork for a country that is a lot less hostile to socialism down the road as they age and the Bill O'Reilly fans die off. Who knows what the future holds now because of Sanders message and his impacts on young folks. Hopefully a better balance of Capitalism and Socialism and a lot less money in politics. Lets just hope the young folks are paying attention.

This astonishing chart shows how moderate Republicans are an endangered species

By Christopher Ingraham


Political scientists have known for years that political polarization is largely a one-sided phenomenon: in recent decades the Republican Party has moved to the right much faster than Democrats have moved to the left. As Thomas Mann of the Brookings Institution has described it, "Republicans have become a radical insurgency—ideologically extreme, contemptuous of the inherited policy regime, scornful of compromise, unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence, and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of their political opposition."

The data backing this claim up are pretty solid. The most widely-used measure of political polarization, a score of ideology based on voting developed by Kenneth Poole and Howard Rosenthal, has shown that the Republicans in the Senate and especially the House have drifted away from the center far more rapidly than Democrats. The chart below, taken from the most recent slice of their data released just last month, illustrate this pretty clearly:
