Bernie Sanders said today he is getting support from Republicans, particularly for his intention to address 'income equality' and this isn't such a surprise. (CNN: Sanders says some Republicans are feeling the Bern)
Thinking Republicans have already accepted it's necessary to raise taxes and reduce spending if any sense is ever to come to the budget from Congress.
The above is another characteristic which differentiates Goldwater Republicans from Tea Party Republicans (inevitably a contradiction in terms).
With tacit agreement on a tax increase, the prime focus goes to where to make the most reasonable cuts. Any proposals in that regard have been wildly polarized insofar as the impact of Planned Parenthood to the Federal budget is miniscule, as it is with NASA and others. Confrontation on such matters has nothing to do with budgeting and wastes an inordinate amount of time.
In opposition are the Boob Fetish Democrats who were previously the Skin Fetish Democrats, none of whom have the faintest idea of the principles of the Democratic Party. All seek only the candidate who will say what they want to hear ... so long as the candidate has boobs. With the prevailing sentiment in the Democratic Party, you could probably run Condoleezza Rice as a Democrat and they would buy it.
Ironically, if Condoleezza Rice had not been such a short-sighted stooge for Bush, she could have made an exceptionally-credible candidate in the 2016 election. There's no chance that could happen after perjured testimony in front of Congress but, assuming she had a good history in government and stated rational views, she could have been one hell of a contender in this race. Colin Powell is the only one to come out of that time even halfway clean and the others were finished in politics for life.
George Bush screws Jeb Bush as nominating JB means they are vulnerable to GB showing up at the convention and that would raise a stink to the Moon.
The main thing here is it surprised me to hear the other day when Kannafoot said these things are obvious. Yes, in fact, they are but that's the first time I've heard a Republican utter the words in years and years. That's also why it now doesn't surprise me to see Republicans supporting Sanders. He remains the only one unbribed and his platform is rational. Screaming 'socialist' about him only shows the ignorance of the person shouting. It's good to see not all Republicans are sucked in by that chanting.

When will the left agree to cuts I only see same old tax and spend policies of yesteryear
I would agree to rather large tax increase if it is accompanied by very large spending reductions
Otherwise why bother
The main thing is the willingness to approach the budget rationally is not something which is common in the party and definitely not in the candidates ... other than Sanders.
Sanders and Kannafoot would be a debate no-one would miss. That would have beef.
