    "Presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has never shied away from his embrace of a hard-left agenda, but the democratic socialist is facing renewed scrutiny over a catalog of comments he made in the 1980s praising the Soviet Union, offering advice to Nicaragua's socialist government -- and even saying breadlines in communist countries are a "good thing."

    Old Bernie has been hiding and doing practically nothing for years as a career Politian. Most just thought of him as a harmless joke.

    Young people may think he is cool. I think he is a dangerous mole that was just waiting for the opportunity to spread socialism to ignorant Americans.

    I love this short snippet from the guy who never held a job until age 40 and then it was a government job at that.

    This is why you can't argue with the right. They can't see the forest through the trees. "Praising bread lines".....yeah, that's the context of the tape.

    If you only listened to the short clip above you probably don't get that he's one of the rich guys.

    He would fleece America worse than Maduro given the chance.

    Yup - He was a socialist then and he's still a socialist now.

    The only difference is that this socialist is running for the Democratic nomination for president.

    Who will out-commie who during the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries? Watch as all the candidates scramble to get to the Left of socialist Bernie Sanders while simultaneously claiming they're not socialists.

    Probably most of the far left loser candidates. HRC thought she was using him as a useful idiot. The candidates running now see him as their teacher.

    The old fool is already getting in the way though for some dems.

    His past and socialist beliefs will haunt him this time around:

    Florida Dems fume at Bernie Sanders for refusing to condemn Maduro as dictator

    "Some leading Florida Democrats are furious with Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders for declining to call disputed Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro a dictator or recognize opposition leader Juan Guaidó as the country’s interim president."

    So the thrust of your argument is that the poor should run everything?

    Thank you. You've proven that context is beyond your comprehension.

    On the morning Sanders announced his candidacy I saw some interviews with folks who live in South Florida and none of them had anything good to say about that socialist snake oil salesman and his policies. "Almost laughable" was the prevailing sentiment.

    Trump's anti-socialist message should play well in Florida next year, regardless of who emerges from the Carnival of Communism in the Democratic primaries...

    Have Ocasio-Cortez explain it to you. She will probably be the finance minister in the Bernie regime

    Sounds to me like Mrlucky is saying Uncle Bernie is a rich socialist hypocrite.

    I would add charlatan to that description...

    We don’t have a socialist system, how’s he supposed to act like one?
    You want lower taxes than the current law, do you pay a lower amount than current law? Are you a hypocrite?

    Bernie was always a useful idiot of the Kremlin until around 1993.

    Now he's just an idiot of the left.
