Don't even have to go as far as Venezuela.

It's no surprise Democrat Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is an advocate of socialism. He's openly advocated for socialist policies on the 2016 campaign trail and back in the 1980s, Sanders argued bread lines are a sign of economic progress.
"You know, it's funny. Sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is when people are lining up for food. That's a good thing. In other countries, people don't line up for food. The rich get the food and the poor starve to death," Sanders lamented at the time.
But now that Venezuelan socialism is leading to the downfall of the country, with citizens hunting dogs and cats for food as the government fails to equally provide, Sanders doesn't have much to say.
During an interview with Univision this week, Sanders was specifically asked about the current failing of socialist systems throughout South America. Sanders avoided commenting.
LEÓN KRAUZE, UNIVISION: I am sure that you know about this topic: various leftist governments, especially the populists, are in serious trouble in Latin America. The socialist model in Venezuela has the country near collapse. Argentina, also Brazil, how do you explain that failure?
BERNIE SANDERS: You are asking me questions…
LEÓN KRAUZE: I am sure you’re interested in that.
BERNIE SANDERS: I am very interested, but right now I’m running for President of the United States.
LEÓN KRAUZE: So you don’t have an opinion about the crisis in Venezuela?
BERNIE SANDERS: Of course I have an opinion, but as I said, I’m focused on my campaign.
Sanders is focused on his campaign while Venezuelans are focused on surviving.
Well, it is looking like the Bern has a real chance of getting the nomination—we will not really know until the convention.
Most Republican candidates would be all too happy to throw in the towel, but I have a feeling Trump will fight.
Either Hillary or Bernie should be very beatable, as long as the candidate going against them wants to win. And Trump does.
Unelectable foolish geezer
...It’s interesting because it shows that he knows that he’s in the wrong and so won’t answer....
When you ask questions, that is one reason why they won’t answer.
Another reason is that they do not know the answer as to why they believe what they believe or can’t justify their belief with any reasonable, believable, or rational answer.
Translation: Let them eat paellas.
Don't even have to go as far as Venezuela.
Venezuela is probably one of Bernie’s favorite vacation spots. Along with North Korea and Cuba
...Venezuela is probably one of Bernie’s favorite vacation spots. Along with North Korea and Cuba....
Don’t forget Mr. and Mrs. Sanders actual dream honeymoon location....Moscow.
Or....we just didn’t do enough of it, this time we’ll do more and it will work..really, this time, for sure...
Sanders Q and A:
Q: “Bernie, is Venezuela a Communist country?”
Bernie Sanders: “Don’t ask me about Venezuela. It’s above my pay grade.”
Q: “Bernie, how is your socialist model any different from Venezuala’s?”
Bernie Sanders: “Don’t ask me about Venezuela. It’s above my pay grade.”
Q: “Bernie, Shouldn’t you really be considered a Communist?”
Bernie Sanders: “Don’t ask me about Communism. It’s above my pay grade.”
Q: “Bernie, aren’t you just a horses ass exploiting the millennials who have been devastated by the Obama economy?”
Bernie Sanders: “Don’t ask me about Obama’s economy. It’s above my pay grade.”
Q: “Bernie, isn’t your running for President above your pay grade?”
I bet Bernie has a wall stacked with cases of Heady Topper beer. When he causes the economy to collapse, he will always have his supply of beer.
It’s ALWAYS the same old refrain: “Socialism works wonders for the masses if it’s done right.”
Ask a socialist and he’ll just shrug and say, “It’s never been done right.”
They’ll never admit that socialism is childish nonsense which seizes rights and oppresses everyone.
| Yes, he's also stashed away some firewood so he can live through the frigid Burlington Vermont winter. What a contrast between Trump and Bernie. The capitalist vs. the communist. See my image post: The Luxury Trump Train vs the Bernie LOCOmotive to Economic Hell. But where are all these Bernie votes coming from? We know a lot of foolish millennials are behind him. But that doesn't explain the numbers he's getting. Could it be that a lot of Bernie votes are simply protest votes against Hillary? If that's the case, we're in a much better place than we think.

Kirsten Powers? Tell me something that she’s said, (except her strong stance against abortion), that makes any sense or was profound. She never says anything brilliant or compelling. She would be better off to switch to the conservative side.
No question, what we’re seeing at both ends, is mental illness. No doubt, Glenn Beck is suffering from a dry drunk. He’s delusional.
Kirstin Powers must have done something to win the job at Fox as it was not on her smarts.
Bernie is a fraud, but he’s having the time of his life. Has anyone asked him about Burlington College- these wannabe socialists crack me up.
It's because the people who promote socialism the most, know it's a con job. Under socialism, the leadership live well, and the people eat trash. Socialism is a way for people who are articulate, but not very good at actually producing anything, to get power.
But they won't admit it to YOU.
They all are...
Tired of reading the same five stories everyday.
Are you unable to post stories, or do you just want others to deliver stories for you to judge?
If Bernie is nominated at the convention, they better have a toilet paper drop rather than a balloon drop because after a few years of empty shelves Bernienomics they are going to need all the TP they can lay hands on.
