(1,825 posts)Your beloved candidate has a 55% disapproval rating, because she is as deceitful as hell. Just because you don't care how duplicitous she is, DOES NOT MEAN THAT OTHERS WON'T CARE. She's the one doing worse against Trump in the polls, not Bernie.
"Taxes are what we pay we pay for a civilized society." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Are you truly arrogant enough to think "Unlike me, these other people can't figure out that Bernie's plans would likely raise taxes!"? Tax rates in this country have been notably higher, like under FDR and Eisenhower, both of who were re-elected (FDR re-elected 3 times).
This may surprise you, but Americans like honesty in their politicians, particularly in their presidents. This is why Honest Abe & George Washington are so highly regarded. Hillary is a constant liar. This is a major reason why she is the worst Democratic candidate for president in the past 50 years.
