It is timely to look more closely at Senator Bernie Sanders. He is 78, was born and raised in Brooklyn in a Jewish family; his antecedents on both sides came from Galicia in the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now part of Poland). His father emigrated to New York in 1921 some years after Sanders’s mother’s family.An older brother, Larry, lives in England and was a Green Party city councilor in Oxford (he and I were opponents in a debate in 2016 in London about the U.S. election, and he was amiable and soft-spoken — none of Bernie’s arm-waving and shouting).

Let's hope it IS fatal.

I love his summary of the situation for Dems:
"The Democrats now face a choice of sinking with all hands with Mr. Sanders or being badly shot up and limping home, waterlogged and well down in the water with all hands at the pumps, which is the best the brazen and clumsy Bloomberg takeover can now realistically have as its objective."
Sounds about right.
I am rooting for Sanders. Maybe I'll send him a check.

He has never addressed wealth creation, which is simply vital to our society. He is opposed to anything that makes money and doesn't consume tax dollars.
Bernie is a classic "useful idiot", with wonderful hand movements and a fabulously red angry face. Ya gotta love him!
I doubt if he will win the nomination, but if does or doesn't he is still undeniably systematically destroying the Democratic party. Which is devoutly to be wished for
Go Bernie! The farther the better!!

Bernie has the votes of all who want free stuff. He will pay for it by bankrupting the US.
He has no plan, just a pitch.
Populist demagogue? Riles up his fans?
All of that.
Dreadful choice!

My thanks to the author for the biography on Bernie Sanders. What was left out was his trip as Mayor of Burlington to Managua, Nicaragua to congratulate Ortega on his successful Communist takeover of that country, taking what was the most prosperous countries in Central America down into the Socialist sewer.

Why is the Democrat party letting a commie run for President?

I can sympathize with Boinie's arm-waving and shouting.
That's often the only way to be heard on the streets of Brooklyn - - where there are always lots of people talking at the same time.

And the Bernie supports will happily stand on the bodies of the millions murdered and aborted in the past, and to come in the future, to get to their "free stuff".
I am reminded of Genesis 19:11 - Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing."[do not go down this evil road of socialism]....."Get out of our way," they replied [they wanted what they wanted no matter what].....Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door. So that they wearied themselves to find the door.[This is how bad the sin of having what they wanted, no matter the cost, would not be quenched]

The only reason so many Dimms are criticizing Bernie is because they agree with him 100%, but they don't want Americans to know that. Was it Rahm who said a few months ago that the Dimms needed to do a better job of surgar coating their poison for public consumption? Oh, those weren't his words, of course, but that was the gist of the warning. Then a few months later, another Ovomit buddy said it again.
WANTED: Slick, Suave (but still Slimy) Snake Oil Salesman for the Dimm Party!!!

So Bernie was a humble carpenter at times - ''Just like Jesus'' we'll soon be hearing. But evidently he is so far Left he never felt comfortable being in the Democrat party. But I doubt he would lose by such a catastrophic margin. About 10 states are so blue they are pretty much socialist already.

Thankfully for most of his youthful supporters voting presents a challenge. You have to wake up and go vote. Please USA NO ONLINE VOTING. We really need cyberworld, Children, Russians Chinese, NK's and all voting.

No one is awaiting the fall election as much as Jeff Dunham. I'll wager that he has already built his next ventriloquist's dummy- Bernie Sanders.
