Two equally awful candidates. Hillary a serial liar. Bernie a Socialist who believes in wealth redistribution. Either would make a terrible President.

The Republican candidates are a range of being acceptable and some should not be President, but that is in terms of capability, Secretary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are quite different. Bernie Sanders is a self-professed Socialist in the old school. A European Socialist with the government involved increasingly in our personal and private lives, running the economy. He has no belief in individual self-worth or individual ability. If somehow he became President, he could never work with Congress, as being a true Socialist he doesn’t believe in the Constitution. That said, he is the better of the two. Throughout her career in public life, when faced with two paths, one the ethical way, the Constitutional way, and the other simply power seeking by whatever means available, she takes the latter direction. Her past is strewn with evidence that she believes in government merely as a tool to gain power, and when caught, lies and blames others. Unlike Bernie Sanders she does understand the fundamental values of the United States and sees them as merely stepping stones to greater personal power. I do not believe that she has any ethical or moral foundation. The Democratic Party faces a terrible dilemma, one possible nominee who is so far left that he is outside of any reasonability, and the other, who may very well be indicted for criminal federal acts. Both of these potential nominees find support only in the hard left members of the Democratic Party and the youth who have no experience in the reality of these two and actually believe the tripe they offer. I truly believe that if the Democrats win the economy will be destroyed as never before and we will be involved in a real war. I had thought that we couldn’t do much worse than President Obama but obviously we can.

The following is an article about France and the fact that economic realism is intruding its head into the French world of socialism. In a way it sounds like the ravings of Bernie Sanders.
************************ President Francois Hollande pledged Monday to spend more than 2.0 billion euros ($2.2 billion) on tackling France's "state of economic emergency". Hollande said he would pump in funding to address the stubbornly high unemployment that has dogged his four years in power, and promised it would not come from tax rises. The opposition greeted the plan with scorn because Hollande has linked his ability to cut the joblessness to his bid to win re-election in 2017, but the president dismissed suggestions that the measures were "artificial". "These two billion euros will not be financed through extra taxes of any kind. They will be financed by savings," Hollande said in a New Year's speech to business leaders. He said one billion euros would be spent on training schemes for unemployed people. Joblessness, which stands at around 10 percent or 3.57 million people in the eurozone's second-largest economy, was the "only issue that ranks above security for the French people", the president said. After several years of sluggish growth, the French economy took another blow with the jihadist attacks in November that killed 130 people, which slowed activity in the fourth quarter. Hollande, a Socialist, said France needs to "increase the pace of reforms", adding that innovation is "key" to getting people back to work. "France must also increase training, education and the level of qualifications of its workers," he said. The president said he would "go the extra mile" to bring in reforms and insisted he would do so "above and beyond any electoral event", in a clear reference to the presidential election. Under the new measures to stimulate recruitment, companies employing fewer than 250 people will receive a 2,000 euro bonus for each new employee with a contract of more than six months, under certain conditions. The right-wing Republicans of former president Nicolas Sarkozy poured scorn on that measure. "What planet are Francois Hollande and his government living on if they think it is enough to write a cheque of 1,000 or 2,000 euros to a company that takes someone on?" said the party's Guillaume Larrive. A leading member of the Republicans, Christian Estrosi, said the measures were "unfortunately just a way of camouflaging the failure of the government's policy, which since 2012 has demonstrated its ineffectiveness". Hollande's Socialist Party hit back, saying the measures would bring "more vitality and confidence" to the economy. France came out of three years of economic stagnation last year with growth of more than 1.0 percent. But 650,000 people have been added to the jobless total since Hollande became president in 2012.
