When it comes to The View‘s co-hosts, they certainly aren’t feeling the Bern. On Tuesday morning, the panel tore into Sen. Bernie Sanders for praising Fidel Castro’s “literacy program,” a sentiment that he doubled down on during a town hall on Monday night. For once, the panel was in agreement that Sanders’ defense of Castro is a “bad” move, particularly as his remarks may alienate Latino voters in Florida. “It’s no different than saying, ‘Hitler was a good orator,'” ripped Meghan McCain. “It’s that insane!”
The View co-hosts wasted no time on Tuesday morning before tearing into Sanders, the current frontrunner in the 2020 Democratic primary. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg opened the show by noting that despite his recent success in Nevada, Sanders has “left himself wide open [by] doubling down on his praise for Cuban leader Fidel Castro.” In a televised town hall on Monday night, Sanders complimented one of Castro’s early policies, saying, “He initiated a major literacy program … They went out and they helped people learn to read and write. You know what? I think teaching people to read and write is a good thing.”
“It’s a dictatorship. There’s nothing groovy about a dictatorship!” said Goldberg this morning. “There’s just nothing good about a dictatorship!” Sunny Hostin agreed, adding that Sanders’ comment likely won’t sit well with the large Cuban community in Florida. “They hear this word ‘revolution’ … it reminds them, over and over again, of what happened in Cuba,” she said. “If the Democratic nominee is Bernie and he’s saying these things and he’s this Democratic Socialist, that is not going to do well in Florida, a swing state, for that Latino contingent. They are not going to forgive him for this position.”

... because the 2nd term is going to be a keeper, going to be one for the history journals.
Hitler vas, shore, a fairy badt mann, but he luft docs undt schilerens.
Hitler was a great orator (watching history films) than Bernie ever can be. He knew how to milk a crowd.
“It’s no different than saying, ‘Hitler was a good orator,’”
I always hated when they said Barack Hussein was a good orator, especially the way he always whistled when he talked. Terrible orator. The soft bigotry of low expectations.
Hitler was a good orator. Great in fact. We as a people need to remember this so we do not allow a silver tongued devil to BS us with a hate message again.
Plus all the hemming and hawing and the I I I Me Me Me stuff.
Well, he was. Compared to Goebbels, who looked stiff and robotic when he spoke publicly.
Based on the company that Bernie keeps, I bet if Bernie was asked to say something that he viewed as good about Hitler, he’d go for the “he hated Jews” over “he was a good orator.”
This line of attack will be a failure. Seeing the good and bad in people will not be seen as a negative. Contrary, they will say he’s being who he is and that will make him all the more popular. Is it ok to THINK Hitler is a good orator if you don’t say it?
Baraq was not an orator, he was a reader.
He once did a speech in a third grade classroom and still had to use the teleprompter. He had a good speech writer who could come up with all kinds of rainbows and unicorns garbage for him.
He delivered good speeches. The yes we can speech wasnt just the beneficiaries or low Expectations

But that doesn't changes the fact that both were ruthless dictators who caused the deaths of millions.
Where Bernie goes off the rails is trying to excuse who Castro was because he came up with one good program.

Thing is.....Bernie isn’t the only Leftie to say wonderful things about Fidel.
Hey Meghan, Hitler was a good orator.
Stupid analogy.
Didn’t some football coach get in trouble for saying, in effect, that Hitler was a good orator?
