(TNS) If Sen. Bernie Sanders goes on to win the Democratic presidential nomination, the debates he’ll have with President Donald Trump are going to be beer-and-popcorn-worthy, for sure.
Mostly because the president will expose this charlatan for what he really is: A dyed-in-the-wool Communist who only claims he’s an “Independent” because he could never publicly claim allegiance to a political ideology that is 180 degrees opposite of American-style liberty and constitutional republicanism.

Then again, Trump’s work will have been largely done for him thanks in no small part to Bernie himself, who is already hard at work providing the president with lots of debate ammo.
And we actually have the “mainstream media” to thank too, because they, as propagandists for the Democrat Party, are providing all of the rope Sanders needs to hang himself.
During an appearance on CBS’ “60 Minutes” program Sunday, the original Bernie Bro actually defended one of the most brutal, repressive Communist leaders of the past half-century, the late Fidel Castro, mostly because he, um, taught his people how to read, or something.

“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?”
So, okay, since Castro provided a ‘literary program’ and ‘health care’ for Cubans, we’re supposed to simply overlook the massive number of people and dissidents he had killed and imprisoned — is that what we’re hearing, Bernie? Because that’s what it seems like you’re saying.
And what good is knowing how to read and having healthcare if you don’t have an economy and a job to sustain yourself? Castro’s ‘revolution’ also plunged Cuba into abject poverty, where it remains today. Way to go, Fidel, you visionary, you.
At other points during the interview, Sanders completely lies about what “democratic socialism” means by making Trump his foil.
“When Donald Trump was a private businessman in New York, he got $800 million in tax breaks and subsidies to build luxury housing. That’s called corporate socialism. What democratic socialism is about is saying, ‘Let’s use the federal government to protect the interests of working families,'” he said.
Uh, no.
First of all, Trump didn’t take any tax breaks that weren’t lawfully passed by New York City and New York state legislators, as well as Congress — which included Bernie, by the way, and lots of Democrats. So there’s that. Also, lots of Democrats take advantage of the same laws to build their business empires.
As for government ‘helping to protect families,’ our founders did not establish a central government to ‘help protect families’ outside of forming and fielding a capable military. That’s not the government’s job and it’s never been the government’s job. And anyway, the government’s not been very good at it, since, for example, trillions of dollars later, LBJ’s ‘war on poverty,’ which began in the late 1960s, has not eradicated poverty.
A more modern instance of massive government failure to “protect working families” was Obamacare, a 100-percent Democrat creation, the party Commie Bernie caucuses with. Since the law that was supposed to “fix” everything that was wrong with healthcare and make it cheaper, healthcare remains expensive and health insurance rates have doubled and tripled.
The party Bernie caucuses with did that.

In any event, the debates are going to be fun to watch if Sanders wins the nomination. But you can bet the Democrat Party is going to try to do everything it can to prevent that from happening in the meantime, itself a popcorn-worthy event.
GOT SOMETHING TO SAY? COMMENT BELOWÂ
Bernie was quite the literary scholar. Yep, he wrote some article about how women enjoy being gang-raped. Typical Bolshevic-pervert. GTFO! and take your trantifa buttclowns with you!
Do you have a link to that article? I think I’ve heard that before.
I want Bernie to be the Dim nominee so that Trump will win in a landslide.
Don’t underestimate the level of corruption and cheating the left is willing to go to in this election. They will stuff every ballot box they can.
Bernie does like the idea of sending BLM to the cane fields.
Left: “TRUMP IS IN LEAGUE WITH RUSSIA!” Bernie:”Let’s go honeymoon in Russia and I love communist Castro!, GOOOOOO socialism/communism!” Leftists media: “Trump is corrupt!”
I think Trump is going to have allot of fun with the commie rat.
I agree, the Founders didn’t envision the gov “helping out working families” in any particular way, outside of providing the military/security; but the Founder’s also didn’t envision special tax deals with big biz and corps. The problem is Greed and Avarice. The top earners in big biz and corporations (and even middle biz) make 60 to 100 times what the average or below average worker makes, and 50 to 60 years ago it was only 5 to 30 times more and that’s because of greed. Wages are going up but so are prices of things. Wages and salaries need to… Read more »
I’m not seeing the ‘prices of things’ going up so much.
However, I am seeing that virtue signaling SJW’s never mention that taxes, regulations, permits,diversity training and so on, add costs to ‘prices of things’ and living expenses – say, like, the overhead costs of ‘things mentioned at AOC’s posh pad in Wash. DC.
castro had a literacy program alright and it was all communist propaganda. if bernie wants to call that crap legitimate literacy it just shows what a commie bastard he really is.
Winston Churchill
Speech 29 May 1919
“Bolshevism is not a policy; it is a disease. It is not a creed; it is a pestilence. It presents all the characteristics of a pestilence. It breaks out with great suddenness; it is violently contagious; it throws people into a frenzy of excitement; it spreads with extraordinary rapidity; the mortality is terrible.
Read Churchill-Walking with Destiny by Andrew Roberts. Amazing how clear Churchill saw the rise of radical Muslim fanatics, Communism and Nazism.
Never forget-Communism is responsible for around 100 Million deaths in the 20th Century.
Castro and Mao are the only Communist Mass Murderers to live past the age of 75, so yeh, Bernie’ was thrilled by them.
And Maduro has virtually wiped out obesity in Venezuela, just as Castro has in Cuba. Also traffic deaths per capita are not reported, but must be really low. You can go on and on of the benefits of Communism.
Cuba made great strides early, in controlling AIDS. When I visited there about 15-20 years ago, all know victims of AIDS were within an 8′ chain link fence about 30 miles outside Havana.
So Castro kills off all the intellectuals during his Revolution and afterwards finds out he has no one to run the bureaucracy of government because no one can read.
This little finger-wagging commie…he finds the microscopic silver lining in the Castro Cloud. SO the murderous dictator built a literacy program in Cuba, so the unwashed could read his propaganda trash.
As Senator Cruz asked, “What was the value of literacy to the guys facing Castro’s firing squads?”
All tyrants had great ideas and programs, to start out.
But their end game, was always the same.
Any history book, will tell you as much.
Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao, as a few examples.
They’ve all done it.
No doubt Comrade Sanders is proud of Fidel and his murderous band of THUGS. They taught people to read, so they could read their own DEATH WARRENT!
Sorry there Bernster, he actually DESTROYED the massive literary program that was already in place when that murderous regime took over.
