Opinion: What kind of change do voters want?

Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks at a campaign rally in Los Angeles. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 26 at 12:30 PM Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report observes, “The leaders of the ‘revolution’ wing, Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, aren’t running to simply replace President Trump, but to bring serious, structural change to the country.

Put differently, Biden cannot repeat Hillary Clinton’s error in being the candidate of the old status quo; he has to be the guy who first can dump Trump so that we can then work on critical issues such as repairing and extending Obamacare, making investments in infrastructure and education, and setting a sane foreign-policy course.

However, Biden must then pivot to the question as to who is best able to tackle the long-standing problems and what kind of change is attainable and desirable. Here is where Biden will inevitably wind up confronting the all-or-nothing, socialist outlook that Sanders embraces.One posits that Sanders’s approach to change is so scary and radical that it makes him unelectable, or at least an easy target for Trump.

I want honesty, intelligence, morals, deep thinking, ability to compromise, ability to understand the Constitution and take oath to heart.

We want no part of commie Bernie

Forget you Bernie Sanders! You endorsed Congresswomen Ilhan Omar? She is blatantly anti Semitic and anti Israel as well. Israel which is a solid ally! You endorsed Hillary too! Go ahead and keeping digging the hole Senator Sanders! “Crazy” Bernie? No, sell out Bernie is apt!

Not the kind that Bernie and his worthless cult want.

A female kind of change, I'm thinking.

Schultz 2020

IT SURE AS HELL ISN'T BERNIE

Not Bernie.

No more old man presidents!! That’s what!!

Trump

People who have spines for one. Not like you Bernie.

Not the crap Bernie is selling.

Whatever change it is, it’s going to take more than one person to make it happen

I think Bernie means well but I think he might be a little too extreme in doses that quick

First change is electing a new President!

What kind of change do I (a Democrat) want? Not the kind that involves a self-identified Socialist on the ticket as the Democratic nominee. That would be one more LARGE issue that Republicans would use against us.

A competent women

The kind that hates a booming economy?

First change I want is for Bernie to correct his emotional statement about voting for bombers!!

I want someone who'll kick Trump et al to outer space

Not Bernie's type of change

3.2% GDP?

Not Bernie's kind! That's for damn sure!

Not the one where Bernie is screaming and finger wagging us. Yes the one where the media stops putting their pedal to the metal. Step aside MSM for one second and let things breathe

Trump has created an environment for real change let’s use this moment!!

Less crazy Democrats and no communists and no Muslims

Change your underwear daily, thank you.

Bugger off silly old buggers

nomoretrump and neverbernie will do it

For you not to run..u chance is far gone

I don't want Bernie.

Not Bernie. That’s for damn sure.

Not letting convicted felons vote

Nope

Well, not socialism. No USSA. He's not a Democrat.

According to Bernie, the same old change all over again.

How can a question be an opinion?

How about trump out of government with his entire cabal.

FeelTheBern2020 End legal bribery. Get corporate money out of our legislative decisions. Win back the Democracy, from the Oligarchy. Once that is achieved, as it was with the New Deal during FDR time, or just like the Square Deal in TR time, we will be put back on track.

You out of the race.

And I believe there should be increased funding of health care for those who need it most such as children fighting cancer not universal coverage and no care for smokers

For most mainstream American voters 'kitchen table' issues are paramount, and no more Trump would be a bonus.

The change I want do not match Bernie I believe there should be increased education funding for proven gifted by test scores and grades Not help for all

what really song can win ? Make america great again and let batmen cacht up bedmen

Socialism has cracked many eggs but yet to produce an omelet

and what song can make triple point to win the election ? God, help me to heal fool wings of the broken win

We want the left to snap out of it.

The only change is for all the leftist to move to Cuba

what song to get elected ? Make america great again. what song singers unelected ? Let birds across win with broken wing

what song can get singer elected ? Make america great again

Not this Old Man with his ridiculous agenda.

What want socialism for the bottom 99% not rugged individualism that’s what we want

DemoKKKrats want people like the Jewish Synagogue shooter and the Charlottesville killer to Vote while in Prison!!! 😂

Not this hypocritical fraud

Voters would like you news outlet to implode. WaPo is the enemyofthepeople

We want the USA to no longer be filled with snowflakes.

Not this

DEFINITELY NOT BERNIE

Something totally different from what POTUS45 is doing and an improvement of What POTUS44 did.

An economy that works for normal people and a healthcare plan that isn't broken. A fair competitive market.

Not Bernie

...they voted for change last time and got it, it’s the 1% and their mainstream media who want change.

The kind that stops the Robber Barons and hands the government back to the people. The kind that reverses redistribution of wealth up to the 1% and breeds prosperity for all Americans instead. The kind that creates a beautiful future.

We want the change Bernie2020 is bringing!

Complete

Not moderate Joe with his moderate platform.

I'm not sold on Biden - I think there are far better candidates that TheDemocrats are fielding - notably PeteButtigieg, ewarren, and KamalaHarris (not to mention 15 or so others). SenSanders might be leading, but his record remains lightly examined, and he still has to

Not Bernie. Too radical.

Not a DemBots or BS

I think they want to be like Cuba Venezuela and the old Soviet Union

Go Barney!

I want to not have old white guys yelling.

There is so much wrong in our country. I just want someone to give me some hope.

Why would the voters want change things are going good.

No Socialism, neither Communism. This is it!

New representation in Congress, for a start.100% staffing at VA hospitals and offices.redo ACA. Build the wall. Pack up the dreamers, verify all Social Security receipting individuals..etc, etc

SenSanders

Not that. neverbernie

I WANT TO GET RID OF THAT TRUMP TAX CUT FOR THE RICH. I WANT ALL TO PAY THE PROPER TAX AND NOT HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE AND COMPANIES PAY NOTHING. SINCE ALL THESE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ARE OPENING UP THEIR MOUTHS IN POLITICS, COME ON IN, THE TAXES ARE FINE. THEY SHOULD BE TAXED!

Well, I for one would be happy with an overhaul of the editorial and political news staff at the Washington Post. Maybe go with, oh, I dunno, journalists who aren't an embarrassment to the profession. Just a thought.

Smaller government! Secured borders! Limited immigration! Strong military! Get special interest out of government

Opinion: The kind we’re getting now with 3.2% growth, creating prosperity nationwide that Obama/Biden could never deliver. Trump2020

Ppl want a Democrat that does, and one that doesn't complain about their attempts.

Old white men change by the looks of it..

They shouldn’t be voting for another old guy, they should be voting for someone with some new ideas and energy that doesn’t believe in socialism!

It ain’t Bernie.

None! Trump 2020!!

We want politicians limited to only 1 or 2 terms on office. We want politicians to uphold our laws, STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. Quit calling those of us that want illegals deported, racist. Our country should accept legal immigrants. Do your jobs

Not socialism but instead getting rid of entrenched politicians that continue to remain in office for decades or those that are backed by corporations or Soros.

Biden is our man!

Not Bernie!!

Mr sanders cannot run on the same platform he has before. It didn't win for him last time and it won't win this time. We need new ideas.

Eight years of hope and change was enough for most of us. We like the change we have now. 3.2% economic growth!

anybodybuttrump

Not Bernie Slanders! Anyone else to go up against Trump, except BS man.

A woman President would be a change that has not happened for over 240 years. Now that’s change!!!! Women just need to step up. MSNBC CNN nytimes

Bernie to be gone change

Not Bernies kind!

Don't Want BERNIE

a little status quo gridlock sounds pretty good...for a change

They should want the type of change that actually is change and works for ALL like health care for all and ZERO racism, if you want more of the bullying choose T. and if want more of the same choose Biden. If you want fresh visions choose Elizabeth Warren or even Bernie

Quarters and dimes.

The change we want is to let Trump do more years.

New diapers that are free!

Not that kind

Americans don’t want socialism

A change that magnifies what our pledge of allegiance states which is FOR LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL... not just the rich, not just celebrities, not just upper class white ppl, not for ppl who have friends who are judges and cops BUT FOR EVERYONE!!

Honesty, respect, compassion.

I want to TaxTheRich TaxTheGoddamnRich Bernie2020 POTUS POTUS46 MedicareForAll

How about a sane president for a change? Its just a thought.. Maybe someone with some political experience and U.S. historical knowledge and NO issues with fact, science and the truth. That would be Wonderful....a girl can dream...

Not Bernie.

Sorry, but no Bernie. Although he means well and hes good for the fight wearing down & annoying Trump, he's too extreme and socialist in an open democracy while also being a 77 yr old white male(now, of means) that seems to yell every time he speaks.

The press needs to be studied and their drive to control the country with out being elected needs to be Reduced!

I don’t want another old white guy.

Not Bernie

FakeNewsMedia EnemyOfThePeople

It appears the Dems are offering the Venezuela model to Americans. They need to turn around the economy and put it in the ditch. Increase the number of people beholden to them.

Complete and utter.

Bernie’s hair cut?

I want a clean, fair, common sense government. Stop the hate, stop abortions, this country is already being punished by God. More is to come. Our forefathers would not go for this crap.

Less demmohippocrits

How about someone younger than 70?

We want the scum out of office on all sides!!! All of them ...that’s the change! Lying, greedy men and women ( mainly men of course) We need our country back

We want the change that Bernie Saunders are introducing. And to implement those changes. Bernie Sanders will defeat Donald Trump at the Polls, and we will defeat him resoundingly.

It's all about making America great again not higher taxes or liberal rules to live by.

NeverSanders Warren2020 Harris2020

Fewer old white guys in office!

Trump OUT!! For now.

You gone democrat radical Islam gone and democrat racism gone .

For liberals to move to Mexico and try Socialism there?

Well, we don't want 'spare' change like Obama gave us!

One for sure: no Democrat’s especially if is Bernie Sanders

NEVERBERNIE

We got our change with President Trump, first candidate to list promises then attempt to keep promises

The entirety of the current administration to start with. Then specifically criminalize everythingTrump et al did. Then give back voting rights protections, kill Citizens United.

Orange man out of the White House!

The exact change realDonaldTrump is bringing! Trump2020 America Is Great Again

we’d like actual paper money please, wtf am I gonna do with change

Progressive change.

How many houses will Bernie get for taking another knee in the Primaries to the already chosen candidate? Any takers $1?

Dems and Repubs work to be less miserable and earn their salaries for a change.

Anybody but Trump

. . Reparations

Changes that bring back national sanity.

NOT Bernie. They want a change from Trump. Not a left wing version of him.

No Bernie

Not Bernie.

I like Bernia a lot and he started this revolution but TulsiGabbard man.

I AM awfully sick of old white men yelling and shaking their fists at us. REALLY sick of it.

Bernie is perfect!

Not Bernie. It’s time for a woman.

Change, but with the same old rules!

Real voters want the truth available to them. They want people in office working FOR them! They want resolutions not resistance these folks running for 2020 are all about resistance bc most of needed changing has been changed in the last few years & they have nothing but fight

We dont want some old white man BernieSanders

Look at his position on the issues, he hits a home run on all. Don't tell me we can't have it either because we can!

A man without the IQ of my dog in the White House would be a start.

Bernie's supporters want are clearly in it for free stuff. Free medical, free school, freedom from paying your school loans, etc. Trump is running against Santa.

Not the Bernie kind

Less media, term limits, campaign limits (duration, were looking at 20 people who plan on taking 2 years off from working for you to campaign). 90 day campaigns max. Convince me, don’t badger me.

None. I want another four years of realDonaldTrump

Voters want the Democrats to get back on their meds and for FakeNews to tell the truth Voters also want the Democrat coup Conspirators to be brought to Justice.

Bernie won’t be president

Lol...we want Clinton....

Trump out of the WH

They want the media to change and start reporting responsibly. Starting with you

Revolution? Or Demolition? From Nate Silver, 4/24/19: 'The reason Bernie fans haven't migrated to Warren is because the distinguishing feature of Bernie fans is not 'leftist policy views,' but that they (figuratively) want to BLOW UP THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.'

Real Journalism by Real Journalists

Someone under 70?

Why wouldn’t everyone want Abortions after birth, Green Deal-bankrupt us without solving issue, Gender X, Felons Voting, Reparations to no one alive, Medicare for all- poor access/delayed care, 80% Tax rate- it’s perfect

I think most people just want good governance, some integrity and calm restored to the country. Obviously we all want progress and other changes but the first thing we need is a break from all the drama and upheaval.

What we don't want is a middle east on fire & Christians daily beheaded, a lethargic economy, unaffordable ACA, falling pay and lousy jobs, Russia & Iran taking countries wit no meaningful US response...

Honesty. Integrity. Respect for the Constitution and rule of law. McConnell out as majority leader. trump impeached

'What kind of change do voters want?' This kind. PeteButtigieg 🇺🇸 2020 Pete's resume' if you haven't met him yet. Harvard University, Rhodes scholor, Cambridge University, U.S. Naval Officer, Mayor, Diplomat, and that's just the basics. Oh, and he speaks 6 languages.

If you support MS13 then vote Dem

Vote Blue so we can end the record number of people working. Let’s tank the economy.

Not another old, white man.

We got the change we wanted when we elected trump. I think we will keep him😊

Not having politicians absolutely pillage our pockets at an extreme tax rate for once, regardless of if they tell us they've got 'good plans' for it or not

Pete.

Change Congress back to GOP leadership. The current Democrat controlled Congress won't do anything other than investigate nothing burgers because they are divided and don't have a useful message for America.

Yuuuuge change. Enough with the status quo.

Not your change

IMAGINE A Republican VP’s son was named to a lucrative post at Ukrainian oil company following the VP’s visit Then that VP threatened to cut off $1B in USAID if the prosecutor investigating his son wasn’t fired Except it wasn’t a Republican It was Joe Biden & his son RT

I want the end to racism and bigotry. Icorporations to pay their fair share, poor kids go to college for free, free healthcare for all and affordable housing. Clean water for flint and the rebuilding of PR. Cops jailed for killing blacks. Ban military grade weapons

Truly Blue Sky Thinking Reduce sharply accumulation of frustrations/shortcomings, the human mental density .. a new way to build peace home/abroad! After so long of trickledown it's time to start frm the ground up trickleup ! poverty been hijacked/politically abused 2often..

Since the war on women failed due to all the deaths from tax cuts and government shut down its tough to say

the change, business booming, employment down, isis destroyed, had Nato boost spending, got out of the one way Paris accord agreement, us manufacturing surge, I can keep going....but thats the change they want.

Preferably not Bernie, though he’ll get my vote if he wins the Dem primary.

Why show Bernie? He’s not a change ? He’s a Trump clone with a cult squatting on the Democratic platform?

Shouty old man!

So a guy who became a millionaire via capitalism wants the rest of us to live as socialists. Makes total sense!

Intelligent, rational people

What kind of question is this? What kind of change do we want? I'd like a legitimately elected president.

We DONT... Trump 2020... KEEPING AMERICA GREAT!

What kind of change do voters want? Answer: Depends. Bernie needs Depends. lol repost maga kag

None! Trump 2020!

Quarters, dimes and nickels. Too bad Mr. Socialist will not understand.

Unless you get Russian help, We The People will decide.

Not Bernie.

it’s a coup! voters should not be allowed to make changes! only sean hannity can decide what’s good for the country!

We want neutral government employees and management that work for their country not whore for their political party. That's the law unless you are appointed. We want that at all levels of govt; up to the top!

I believe that Democrats want 4 more years of Trump. Stop delivering geriatric candidates who have a track record of utter failure. Joe lied in 1988 and Bernie has been shoved aside by failboat Clinton.

None. Keep good economy, less taxes, good job market, end wars. The rest I will buy myself.

The change I am seeking is Donald J. Trump no longer being our President! Impeach45attheBallotBox11320

Nothing from the Democrats. We've already seen the horrific changes they made 12 years ago.

Not this kind!

Opinion: Fake news always pretends to be oblivious. Voters are people and they want what people want: healthcare, economic security, safe and clean infrastructure. Not perpetual wars and an exponentially growing wealth disparity

We want sanity back. We want civility back. We want love of country before party back. We want our reputation around the world repaired. We want Joe Biden for president!🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

Andrew Yang in the WH!

Not that ^ kind.

We got our change with Obama. Didn't like it so we pick Trump to fix Obamas mess. Trump is the best president for centuries to come.

Not Bernie

Free stuff

Close the borders

Not this one. This guy should be running in Venezuela.

I want more honesty and less slander.

all the way

neverbernie
