Bernie Sanders is 84 years old.
Mr. Halperin is fantasizing.
I wouldn’t be so dismissive. Despite the voting irregularities, there were people who voted for a vegetable in 2020.
quit using the word “progressive”, these folks are avowedly SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS! ... they’re members of the “socialist” wing of the Democrat party ...
and how do we know she’s a vegetable? ... because the language she speaks in is “word salad”! ...
Michael Smerconish, the same fawning sycophant who bent over to kiss Obozo’s shoes when he was elected. What a joke.
SPEAKING OF THE KENYAN:
EXACTLY WHO PAID TUITION FOR HIS TIME AT OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE IN CALIF——
WHERE HE WAS REGISTERED AS A “FOREIGN STUDENT”????
LOL
The most prominent was the County Executive position for Montgomery County - I don’t think anyone thought this community organizer who used to work for Pelosi would win, but the establishment Rats split the vote and this guy won with 40% of the vote - he has no real life work experience, and is now in charge of an 8 billion dollar budget - he pushing for universal income and lots of low cost housing.
Not sure how the ruling class that lives in Potomac is going to like this.
Oh, BTW, one news report said his followers were most POC and immigrants; the other Rats supporters were mostly rich whites.
Their sanctuary policies created the demographics for this election upset.
Why not? He fantasize about sexually abusing women.
Did you get passed the headline?
