The Democrats’ socialist candidate for President of the United States, Bernie Sanders, was seriously tripped up this week in an interview with Univision’s León Krauze.
When asked to explain the failure of socialist governments in Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil, Sanders completely clammed up, saying he has an opinion on the subject, but was unwilling to share it, as he is “focused on my campaign.”

Sorta reminds of the late great comedian Sam Kinison..
Socialism comes to you and says, "C'mon.. you'll like it.. It's fun... C'mon..."
Once it has you,..... then you scream.
Sort of like Nancy Pelosi.
Yeah. Bernie is a committed communist. He, like all others, feels that these failures just mean that communism wasn’t implemented correctly in those countries. Give him a chance, and he’ll implement it here. Of course, it will fail, and he will just say that we didn’t do it right, and that we have to try again, but this time implement a stronger version of communism.
Like all communists Bernie will sooner or later blame his failures on the remaining capitalists in the USA and he’ll inevitably put forth the argument that they need to be imprisoned or executed as ‘enemies of the Revolution!’

Socialism can only be imposed by force and the further a society goes down that road the greater the force required. Given enough time, and practiced with enough vigor, socialism always leads to the Killing Fields. It has no place else to go.
Oh, don't be shy Bernie. Tell us how you blame the eeeevil capitalists for the failure of these worker's utopias.
After some thought, Bernie will come out and say that Venezuela is in trouble because there is not enough socialism down there. Bernie would send in the army and enforce HIS socialism model with tanks in the streets.
Wait...
So Univision was asking the same stuff that gets me labeled a racist?
Shame on Bernie Sanders for saying that he’s too busy with his campaign to answer this reporter’s question about the problems in Venezuela, which Hugo Chavez referred to as “21st century socialism.”
Of course Bernie couldn’t answer. But in keeping with his mantra, he could have said it’s because Venezuela used the wrong kind of socialism. They used Chavez’s 21st Century Socialism instead of Bernies’ Democratic Socialism... But since they’re both socialism it’s somewhat akin to believing there’s a clean end on a turd..
He was afraid to say “it has failed because be were still allowed to leave”.
For one.
These parasites know socialism is an absolute failure. Yet they continue to pander to voting socialists (many of whom still live with mommy and daddy) merely to stay in office. LBJ was the worst offender in my lifetime, paying minority whores to have bastard children just so the RAT party could win. They haven’t changed a bit.
Just because Vladimir Lenin has a statue of Bernie Sanders in his garden, that doesn’t make Bernie a communist. ;-)
Weasel alert!
He’s a blithering idiot. /obvious
What he did not want to say during the campaign... That socialism in South America worked as planned! The people who ran it made out like bandits. Just like Putin and the rest of the KGB, just like the Nork oligarchs, just like the Chinese party bosses, they became multi-billionaires by conning the stupid and lazy to allow them to rob the country blind.
Somebody send this to Trump. If he “debates” Sanders he should bring up how Bernie dodged a legitimate question from Univision
I’m a firm believer that Socialists are a different Race from me.....
