    You have to listen to this

    I heard this on the radio this morning. Fareed Zakaria is, in my opinion, one of the most intelligent and knowledgeable commentators on CNN.

    Take the time to listen to this video, there is a whole lot of learning here.

    That was a good explanation of Bernie's energy plan. It is unworkable. As is most of his agenda.

    It really is up to people like Mr Zakaria to point out, with reasoned thought and facts, the fallacies and fantasies of the Bernie Sanders of the world.

    I expect---although maybe no longer necessary, that he will do a similar job on Sen Warren and her basket of fantasies.

    I'm going to vote for somebody that has a solution for Mongolia and China and Russia certainly somebody can turn off everyone's power the world over and institute Bernies plan.Can you imagine what will happen to the C02 evels once we've burned all the tress. Trout are history also, to many damns to build to worry about them.
