Bernie Sanders leads the race for the Democratic nomination.

He may become America's first self-described "democratic socialist" president.

What does that mean?

Today, when Sanders talks about socialism, he says: "I'm not looking at Cuba. I'm looking at countries like Denmark and Sweden."

But Denmark and Sweden are not socialist. Denmark's prime minister even came to America to refute Sanders' claims, pointing out that "Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy."

Both Denmark and Sweden do give citizens government-run health care and have bigger welfare programs than America has. However, recently, they've moved away from socialism. Because their socialist policies killed economic growth, they cut regulations and ended government control of many industries.

Sanders probably doesn't know that. He, like many young people, just loves the idea of socialism.

Well duh! Everything is paid for. What's not to like? Bread lines are good for you. Waiting 6 months for an MRI? Pffffttttt. You can tough it out. Guessing most supporters have ZERO clue about actual socialism/communism. Just the romantic motorcycle diaries version. Burnee loves it. I mean he can just scamper off to one of his dachas while the peons toil away.

He’s a communist, not a socialist. That proves that he is mentally unstable and unfit for public office.
