Obama hasn't done much damage to the US, that was mostly Bush. Obama, accordin to sources, actually made America better, and he'd probably have done a better job (or worse) if our politicians weren't full of selfish idiots. Again, that's silly republican propaganda based on almost nothing but dislike for Obama. And again, republican candidates and politicians would get far less support if the voters actually did fact checking and didn't believe everything like sheeps.
Anyway, republican candidates who are pro-life but against lettin refugee children come here are hypocritical dumbasses. You can basically make the same argument for one.
"Babies deserve to live, they have a right to live! You're taking their right away from them! They can grow up to contribute to society and be great. It's a sin to kill babies, and it's unnatural!"
"Refugee children deserve to live too, and it's their right to live. You can't claim women shouldn't have a right over their body, but claim that you can have a right over accepting refugee children who'd probably be killed or be kidnapped or lead a miserable life! They can also contribute to society, and it's a sin to refuse help to children and let them die."
"But refugee children could potentially turn into terrorists and attack us on our homeland. They could be a danger risk, and it's risky to take them in!"
"However, children whose moms were forced to give birth to them could have unhappy childhood and turn into criminals or delinquents as well, especially if their parent/s ignore them or abuse them. Same thing can happen even in a good foster home (rare) or at a center for kids who have no parents. They're actually more of a risk because they're more likely to grow up angry and violent if their childhood hasn't been good."
"But I don't want my tax money going into fundin abortion!"
"That's another lie republican politicians came up with. Planned Parenthood can't use funds on abortions, so rest assured your tax money is used to prevent pregnancy or help people who want to get tested for STD or have STD or whatnot. Besides, more tax money would be wasted on these unwanted kids, so unless you don't mind what the funding is used for, you have no right to complain about your tax money or money you "worked hard" for."
Pro-lifers are so funny when they complain about tax or freedom or right. If I recall, republicans are generally the most criticized around the world and made fun of, while Obama gets praised more. According to people of other countries, it's the Americans that's making America look bad, from criticizing Obama and Affordable Care Act to obsession with guns and not doing anything to reduce it. Any republican candidate bar possibly Rubio winning would make US look pretty bad and lose any respect it got back when Obama was in office.
While Bernie may not be economically sound, he does seem to be socially there for the people. He cares about homosexuals, minorities, women, and even people in jail and has done so for decades.
Trump's popularity comes from him being loud as fuck, saying ridiculous shit a lot of people agree with, and running in a time where people are tired of politicians' bullshit. Cruz's popularity probably comes from him giving Jesus and God blowjobs every night and allowing religious authority figures to molest boys and not get caught (doubt this part, but who knows). Hillary's popularity comes from her being a woman (apparently) with a dynasty (her husband); said dynasty is why she received tons of media coverage over Bernie and why she's as big and popular as she is, because she's well known. Bernie's popularity comes from him being genuine and actually caring about social issues and standing firm by his beliefs for decades. Despite having barely any media coverage, Bernie became huge.
As of now, the democrats are seen less of a joke than republicans by almost everyone but republicans themselves, and Bernie seems to have more legit trust than Hillary, whose many supporters are allegedly voting for her and telling other women to vote for her just because she's a woman, and for feminism. Apparently, Bernie legit believes in feminism, so a lot of these women are saying no to Clinton's "feminist" supporters.
And truth be told, if the republican candidates weren't so conservative and backwards on social issues, I wouldn't even bother to vote. I'm voting for the rights of homosexuals, women, minorities, and many others. Not entirely sure what we'll give up economically if Bernie wins.
