Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a 2020 White House hopeful, on Sunday dismissed concerns that his status as a self-proclaimed democratic socialist would be a liability in a general election and said President Trump’s description of his ideology as “communist” was inaccurate.
“Obviously I am not a communist,” Sanders told host Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday” in response to a clip of Trump using the designation in a Fox News interview, adding that Trump “maybe doesn’t know the difference.”
Sanders also called Trump a “pathological liar” for claiming Sanders was “married in Moscow.”
Wallace continued to press Sanders on how he would address criticisms that agenda items such as the Green New Deal, Medicare for All and forgiveness of college debt are both overly radical and prohibitively expensive.
“In many respects, we are a socialist society today,” Sanders responded, noting the tax breaks and subsidies Trump received from the government as a businessman.
“The difference between my socialism and Trump’s socialism is I believe the government should help working families, not billionaires,” he added.
Addressing his specific proposals, Sanders said both the price tags and the overhaul of the status quo were preferable to the alternative.
“If we leave the [health care] status quo alone, in the next 10 years we’re going to be spending $50 trillion,” he said. “Medicare for All will cost the average American less than the $12,000 a year they are paying the insurance companies.”

“Obviously I am not a communist,”
Huh?
“Obviously”?
NOW you’re lying.
NOR to a muzzie.
iOS autocorrect must be edited by Millennials... a lot of words they don’t know.
The entire Dem Party these days is on the Marxist continuum. In one of his multiple “autobiographies,” Obama called himself a Marxist. His election seems to have pulled back the curtain on the truth about the American Left and who they really are...totalitarians who demand centralized, dictatorial power and complete subservience to the state.
Bernie campaigned for Marxists.
Marx wrote The Communist Manifesto.
Trump doesn't know the difference between a socialist and a communist?
Are you serious, Bernie? You can't figure out why the dems keep screwing you out of your victories? I'll tell you why; you're the kiss of death to them. With you as the standard bearer they'll lose everything in an epic landslide.
This is the argument the GOP needs to answer. Most of them will not be able to do it.
This is a a topic I look forward to revisiting many times over.
T thought Trump said, paraphrasing , “I heard Bernie was married there, or honeymooned there, I don’t know, something like that, something like that”.
“Medicare for All will cost the average American less than the $12,000 a year they are paying the insurance companies.”
Wait... my last 2 vehicles cost me less than that and I had to take out 3 yr. loans to pay for them.
So, under Crazy Bernies plan, Is be FORCED to pay for another car EVERY year, WITHIN that year - for something I MIGHT have to use...
Aaaaannnd, if me and millions of others DONT need to use it, do we get OUR money back, Bernie???
Or willl you, a MILLIONAIRE by the way, just keep it and use it at YOUR pleasure, HMMMMM???
GFY, Bernster.
Telling a lie is no shame to a communist.
Nor to a modern DemocRat, either, come to think of it.
...
Communists are supposed to lie to non-believers, just like Muslims.
If you have to tell people you’re not a communist, you’re a communist.
My thought exactly. Now he has to talk about it, and maybe someone can get him to admit he honeymooned in Moscow. Then who’s the pathological liar?
Well, I think somewhere between 35 and 45 percent are.
That’s a wide gap because I’m not really sure.
But at least 35 percent.
All it takes to win is a simple majority to get the electoral votes.
So that’s good enough :)
Marx hated his types and described them as a Bourgeois Socialists. He would have spit on BS. Uncle Joe would have put one in the back of his head and kicked him into a shallow grave. It is spelled out very clearly in the Manifesto.

There has never been a justice system built to deal with this depth of wickedness we currently see in the republic.
FUBS and the PROPAGANDISTS you rode in on.
Sanders also called Trump a “pathological liar” for claiming Sanders was “married in Moscow.”
Did wallace say “well you did spend your honeymoon there”? I betting no.
They elected hussein twice.
Your link doesn’t work.
