Little Chrissie Everett isn’t feeling the thrill up his leg on this one. I don’t see why, he thought Comrade Hussein was the greatest thing ever. I’m sure this is more about a DemonRat being able to win than who would be the better president (hint, Trump is the only one with a record that is worth a crap).

Yep. For 25 years, trying to out commie each other has been a full-time job. Trotsky isn’t left enough for them.

Yeah, I guess I give up too easily, endangering everyone else in the process.

The thing about Bernie is that, unlike Trump, he’s never run or managed anything in his life, which means that a Bernie presidency would just be another example of the usual Democratic corruption, ineptitude and incompetence. Of course, if he ever made good on his promises it would be a disaster for the country, but there’s little chance of that happening under a Bernie presidency because he doesn’t have the skills to make it happen.

Bernie would have to rely on others to get his agenda passed, which means he would need some ability in the art of persuasion as well as the competence required to actually implement an agenda through good management. Unlike Trump, Bernie has no talent for either. He speaks in idealistic, pie in the sky generalities. When it comes down to the specifics of implementing his unworkable solutions, he’ll be lost. Bernie’s not a detail man. When he tells his cabinet to come up with a plan to implement plan x, they’ll do what the deep state always does. Come up with a solution that looks good on paper but which serves only to enrich themselves on the tax payer’s dime. And Bernie will either be part of the corruption himself or be clueless about how to stop it.

With regards to legislation, it’s amazing to watch how much Trump has accomplished despite the forces of obstruction he’s had to deal with in Congress. Bernie lacks Trump’s negotiating skills to work with Congress to get his agenda passed. Nobody likes the guy, and he’s too stupid to fear. So, a Bernie presidency would just be your typical leftist screw-up, with Bernie blaming everyone but himself for its failure when it’s all over.
