Keep talking, Bernie!

[cableguymn]

he’s got a point..

I hear the weather is still nice....

other than that..

[JudyinCanada]

I think the beaches might be ok, but that has little to do with the communists.

"We're very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but you know, it's unfair to simply say everything is bad. You know? When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?" Sanders told Anderson Cooper.

But did he make the trains run on time? Because that's the real test. If I had a dictator who could make the trains run on time, I'd be fine.

And Bin Laden built hospitals.

Castro killed a bunch of people but hey at least they died knowing how to read thank goodness for that

[BunnySlippers]

[Paladin2]

Well, Cuba still has Gitmo’ there and hasn’t capsized.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Hey even Hitler must have done a few good things besides all that throwing folks into ovens and stuff

[Brilliant]

He just blew off Florida.

[HamiltonJay]

The Nazi’s kept the trains running on time too...

Left always falls back on the same crap

[dfwgator]

He built the Autobahn, gave working Germans access to buy a car, the “People’s Car” or “Volkswagen”.

[Mark17]

they have interesting cars

Edsels?

[knarf]

[guitar Josh]

My thoughts exactly.

[elpadre]

“it’s unfair to simply say everything is bad.”

Bernie is right! It is much worse than most people have any idea.

[gundog]

I can see a young Bernie Sanders being happy with free health care and $37 a month.

[ilgipper]

I hope doesn’t blow this nomination. He’s got it without unforced errors like this.
