      Why are you making this about color?
      Right now we are having black, white, Indian, and latin setting up to run for the presidency. I will choose a male or female that will represent us in the international stage regardless of color... This man just won many hearts by exposing how we are pathetically shut down over a wall and how his people were not given the same passion when they were dying... AT THIS MOMENT WE NEED A PRESIDENT WITH THE RIGHT MIND SET.... Regardless of race or gender...

    Thank you, Senator Bennett. Thank you for calling out Cruz's hypocrisy. We in Northern Colorado will never forgive or forget Cruz's role in shutting down the government in 2013, the closing of our beloved Rocky Mountain National Park being a cruel sucker punch to especially Estes Park, already reeling and down from the devastating floods.

      small footprint, The truth is, Senator Bennet is not some kind of hero. One look at his funding and voting record shows he's part of the very "corruption" problem he speaks of in this video. He receives millions of dollars from wallstreet, voted yes on Keystone Pipeline, voted no on the re-importation of prescription drugs from Canada, and a whole host of other half measures and pro-establishment, pro-corporate policies. Bennet isn't nearly as bad as Trump or Cruz, but he, and other establishment types, like Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Hillary Clinton, Claire McCaskill, and even Obama are the reason we have Trump and Cruz. Cause establishment types are not REALLY doing what's in the best interest of the American people and we have to choose between the lesser of two evils, instead of between good and evil. We have to vote for and support people who do actually represent us, and don't accept corporate bribes. People like Ro Khanna, Tulsi Gabbard, Richard Ojeda, Alexandria Ocassio Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and others! If you want real change, don't listen to what a politician says. look at their funding and their voting record!

It's cool that there are people whose #1 priority is to slap huge numbers of regulations on tech giants etc, but the reality is that those companies are what will make as competitive as a nation going into the future. I don't think people like Ocasio Cortez are doing anything to help end the crippling political deadlock that has been going on for the last many years.

    • @lufo4599
      @lufo4599 5 лет назад +1

      Thomas, I think you need to understand that political and cultural change is measure in generations, not years. And you need to understand that progress is usually chipped away at, not passed with sweeping, torrential, paradigm shifting policies. It took literally generations for the de facto government to seize as much power, influence, and control as they have from the de jure government. We're not going to be able to take power back in just an election or two. So I think you need to adjust expectations in terms of time. I also think you need to adjust what you define as "doing anything" in terms of making progress. Less than 10 years ago, "pre-existing conditions," were legitimate grounds for insurance companies to deny treatment. Now they aren't. Marijuana is legal now in a lot more places. And policy discussions about universal healthcare, a green new deal, and living wages, are now realities, whereas 10 years ago, we probably wouldn't have even heard about them because they would have been dismissed as illegitimate. We are making progress One day at a time.

      Perhaps he is a drunk, I really don't know, but he talked more sense in 30 minutes than Trump has EVER spoke his whole life.
      I don't know if he's corrupt, but based on the TRUTHS he spoke and blatant reasoning about Trump, he seemingly has nothing to hide unlike the POS Trump who promised to give over his tax returns if elected but now in a legal battle to not show them.
      Who promised to not cut Medicare and Medicaid but is trying to.
      I could make a long list of his broken promises, lies and propaganda but now that the Mueller report will be released very soon and his testifying to happen before Congress, the USA will learn the truth, whatever it may be.
      Meanwhile, Trump doesn't give a $hit about you or USA citizens. Only himself while monetizing, stealing, misrepresenting and misappropriating funds for his very own pockets. That has been proven and since he's not above the law, he will be in SDNY courts.

It makes me want to turn a cartwheel to see him taken to task in such a heartfelt and geniune expression show of leadership. I appreciate Senator Bennet in everyway. It's rare in Texas to see a senator that represents and cares for the people. Thank you, Colorado, for electing this man. Texas could learn so much from you. Keep their feet to the fire, senator Bennet. I'm so proud of you!!!

      This shows the real danger of Trump. Senator Bennet now looks like some kind of hero. Meanwhile, one look at his funding and voting record shows he's part of the very "corruption" problem he speaks of in this video. He receives millions of dollars from wallstreet, voted yes on Keystone Pipeline, voted no on the re-importation of prescription drugs from Canada, and a whole host of other half measures and pro-establishment, pro-corporate policies. Bennet isn't nearly as bad as Trump or Cruz, but he, and other establishment types, like Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Hillary Clinton, Claire McCaskill, and even Obama are the reason we have Trump and Cruz. Cause establishment types are not REALLY doing what's in the best interest of the American people and we have to choose between the lesser of two evils, instead of between good and evil. We have to vote for and support people who do actually represent us, and don't accept corporate bribes. People like Ro Khanna, Tulsi Gabbard, Richard Ojeda, Alexandria Ocassio Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and others! If you want real change, don't listen to what a politician says. look at their funding and their voting record!
