149. Bernie Sanders is like The Dumpster?

Thu Apr 7, 2016, 01:31 AM

Apr 2016

Plus every politician - almost without an exception - is an opportunist. Everyone running for the Presidency is an opportunist.

Bernie is nothing like Mr. Trump. He's not a narcissist, disavows violence, and tries to be inclusive not exclusive.

Besides Bernie is a Social Democrat. He's more Norway than Castro. The Cold War generation are getting old and dying out... the Red Peril these days is living in a Republican State. I know socialism... and Bernie describing himself as a Democratic Socialist is in my eyes far fetched... he's a Social Democrat.

However Hillary on the other hand... spouse of Bill Clinton, who is a purveyor of Third Way policies... forged an alliance regarding Third Way with a certain Tony Blair... who then joined in with a certain George W Bush into a misadventure in Iraq. Plus Mrs. Clinton voted for this action. I could understand military action in Afghanistan after the attack in 2001.. but going back to Iraq... my colleague at work was correct in 1999 when she said if George W Bush gets in he'll find an excuse to go into Iraq again.
