The bottom line is that there's no way to ever know if Bernie would have won. Every Bernout saying he would have assumes that Clinton's support was inelastic, and that having a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist wouldn't have driven off numbers of moderate voters. Doing addition and subtraction with percentages of voters is also dumb, because again, there's no way to tell that those would have translated to votes for another candidate.

What IS certain is that Hillary lost and Trump won. But pointing to Bernie and saying "SEE HE WOULD HAVE WON! CHECK THIS BASIC ARITHMETIC!" is about as dumb as Trump's supporters thinking Mexico will pay for the wall.

I can't conclusively say that Bernie would have won, but I can conclusively say that Hillary will never win the Presidency.

When they raise the debt ceiling, is that taking into account the deficit of the proposed budget? Does it have to do with any spending in the past, or is it strictly spending for the future? I guess in the most general terms: how do they decide how much to raise the debt ceiling by?

And maybe my questions are showing just how dumb I am because I am completely off base?

"Think of the national budget like a household budget. Since the debt issued by nation's is the exact same as my credit card debt *takes drink* that means all debt is bad. *drinks*. Since the United States already has summin like fitty quadrillions in debt to the Chinamen *drinks* we can't spend anymore then we make. SHADDUP I KNOW WHAT IM TALKIN 'BOUT.

Maybe putting him in the labor HOF is a way to anger his spirit as part of a plan to raise him from the dead. At the very least you can throw it in the face of Reagan Deifiers that he is totally a dirty pro union socialist.
