Not much in the news story, but he says Ukraine's government are Nazis. It's right on his campaign page. He also says to "Abolish the CIA."

Well below half the primary votes as the last Democratic primary in the district.

Couldn't Dems find a RATIONAL option???

Maybe he'll out-Russia the Republican.
