Is Sanders more "dangerous" than Trump?

I believe so. This angry old man is capable of anything if he reaches power due to his determination and really bad character. How this man would react to a provocation by a foreign enemy, for instance? I would trust much more an experienced Hillary, and even Trump who has faced tough situations in the past, but would very much afraid of Sanders. What do you think?

 

I don't think Bernie Sanders has a bad character. However, despite his years in the Senate, he doesn't seem to have much knowledge of foreign policy. I don't know how he would react to a provocation by a foreign enemy, because he has only a slight record to consider. He did vote against the Iraq invasion, don't forget, so his foreign policy views are not completely unknown. Obviously, Hillary Clinton has tons more foreign policy experience.

As to Donal Trump, given his explosive nature, I would really worry about him. I would apply your words "determination and really bad character" to Trump long before I would apply them to Sanders. I guess the worries that you have about a Sanders presidency are the ones I would have about a Trump presidency.

 

Funny. You prefer Hillary with a lot of bad experience (could you name a thing where she did not fail in foreign policy) to a guy who at least once made a solid decision, even against the will of 80% of American population. Very clever of you.

 

Unquestionably. Sanders is FAR more dangerous than either Hillary or Trump.

 

If one decision, if being right on one policy, were enough, then Bernie would be the guy. Actually, I don't think Bernie would be a bad president.

Incidentally, your replies would carry a lot more weight if you could stick to logical arguments and not rely on sarcastic personal attacks: "Very clever of you." Personal attacks may have a place in hammer-and-tongs politics, but they do not have a place in intelligent discussion. It's for fruitful to disagree with someone's opinions without trying to belittle the person.

 

My apologies.

 

I think you are discounting Trump's short temper. And not in a assertive way, but in a downright nasty way nobody would want to workwith.

 

Sanders knows enough to stay out of foreign entanglements, like George Washington warned us about.

 

This is golden material considering the thread you posted. Sanders is terrifying for business

 

Hillary is a neocon warmonger. Sanders is a staunch supporter of the second amendment. Anyone who supports the second amendment supports liberty and self-government. Hillary hates it when folks can make choices, because when given a choice, they don't choose her. Ask Bill!

 

Of Sanders, Trump and H. Clinton, I'd choose Sanders. He's the least dangerous because he has the least amount of power. That said, any of the three would be disastrous to the country.

 

I agree. Strongly.

 

No... Trump is very dangerous. He's stubborn, lacks knowledge, lacks empathy... sexist, bigoted and hot-headed. I don't care if he wants to be a cab driver... he's surely dangerous.

Bernie Sanders' character is far superior to Donald Trump's.

 

Bernie would be the most dangerous by far, but only to the people paying taxes!
To the schmucks who don't, he's a godsend!

 

Bernie really scares me. He is using all tactics in his bag to put himself in evidence. He is not "fighting" for the Democrats or for the people, he is fighting for putting himself in evidence. His proposal to debate Trump is very offensive to Hillary Clinton, for instance. Who is he anyway? he has to win 65% of all delegates just to get the nomination. He, and Trump, are also a demonstration that american men REALLY hate having a woman in power. Hillary was already put in a corner by the the democrats who wanted to have a black "man" in power. Now he is supposed to give way to two type "A" men such as sanders and Trump. Come on! Both men have NO experience, but big thunderous voices. Is that a "qualification" to be president in a world that requires lots of intelligence, self control and experience?

 

Which are the "lot of BAD experience" of Hillary? maybe because , as a secretary of State, accepted Obama decision to go to war in Lybia? or because she used her personal phone? But this is totally RIDICULOUS . Secretaries of State don't usually go against their President, and as BAD experience every single secretary of State of the last 70 years took at least one bad decision. Sanders instead chose the easy way out to go against the war. Big deal. As a senator he could do it, and nobody would care anyway. Accusing Hillary , as others to, to be a warmonger is also ridiculous. Obama is the least warmonger of the presidents, and I can't recall she pushed him to declare any war. I would be afraid instead of a bad tempered Sanders reacting to a provocation from Iran, North Korea or ISIS. This guy is highly temperamental and does like to be contradicted. He can cause immense damage.

 

You know what is the difference? Trump might become like a Reagan just to keep the presidency. He would surround him with experts, like Reagan did, and LISTEN to them at least in private. Sanders would not do so. He would listen only to himself. Is this that makes him far more dangerous than Trump.

 

What tough situations has that fat sissy born with a silver spoon in his mouth ever had to deal with? Unruly Scots who wouldn't sell him land to build one of his hideous golf courses?

 

Its about what kind of people they want in their staff and cabinet, what kind of atmosphere there will be, in the discussions and debates in the cabinet meetings, the West Wing and the oval office, and which of these three are willing to do their homework, and listen even more carefully when they are told they may be making a horrible mistake.

The best foreign policy Presidents make damn sure they don't surround themselves a bunch of 'yes men' toadies parroting back their own thoughts. Then they make sure those folks feel comfortable saying their piece.

 

Bernie definitely doesn't have bad character. I think he's one of the more honest politicians out there. He's like a Ron Paul but just on the opposite side. Too extreme for me. I rather have Trump than Bernie.

 

Bernie is more dangerous to our country than Trump because he wants the government to regulate the economy. If that plan worked the world would have many rich countries. If Bernie is too stupid to research all the countries in the world that have tried his socialism, and ended up with starving people, then he is really stupid. Since Bernie stopped being a demonstrating hippie he has been riding the government gravy train getting paid with the dollars we worked for, so all he knows is to let everyone on the gravy train. Even now as a senator getting paid $174,000 he is out campaigning for another government job that pays $400,000. Those who are supporting Bernie are like him, they don't work hard, and they can't think past their noses.

 

It's too late for that. But I digress...Bernie couldn't turn two nickels into a dime, he doesn't have the capability to understand economy. Everything is about "fairness" and "equality" without the comprehension of the results.

 

You're assuming an awful lot. I wouldn't buy your logic.

 

Amen! That "my way or the highway" BS he has spouted for the last year, doesn't necessarily work in the real world. Even so, that's the stuff he sells to his often narrow minded, racist, "poorly educated" supporters. It garners votes.

Still, the commentary coming from some fairly high levels in other nations... shows that Trump could READILY blow foreign policy... literally causing more instability across the world.

Trump is a HORRIBLE statesman... and to me, that is a deal-breaking NEGATIVE.

Amen!!!

 

If Trump wasn't misogynistic, racist and so boorish... more would consider him. The kind of people he draws/encourages in general, aren't the best America has to offer, in my view.
