31. Mixed nuts in a bar.

When asked by Rachel Maddow how he would get Mitch McConnell to pass legislation if he were president, Bernie said he would go to Kentucky and hold a huge rally. The people would demand Mitch do his job and he would listen. He would go to other states and rally. "We need to rally the American people by the millions. That's what I mean by a political revolution."

That's his plan. Rallies. That's "taking on" all the billionaires and industries.

Will millions of Americans have to quit their jobs to rally all the time? What will they do then? What are they going to do with their kids? Where will everyone go to the bathroom at the rallies? Will there be food carts or should everyone bring sandwiches? Pets or no pets allowed? Where will millions of Americans fit at the same time -- a very large park? What if it rains? Where will everyone sleep? Take a shower? Who's gong to get permits for the rallies? What if the billionaires and industries don't care? How do airplanes stay in the air without falling down? Why do people go into the water where they know there are lots of sharks?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
