Bernie Defends Comments He Made About Fidel Castro

It was important to Obama that he be liked but not a priority for Trump, nor should it be. He's putting America first instead, not himself.

Wrecking our relationship with our allies is not “putting America first”

Kissing the ass of dictators is not “putting America first”

Abandoning friends is not “putting America first”

Leadership is a term you have no understanding about nor the ability to research what Bernie has done in his political career. he has become a multi millionaire on the public dole, why doesn't that raise an issue with you and the left?

Sanders estimated net worth is $2M.... that is not rich. It is but nice upper middle class net worth. As US Senators go, he is a pauper. If you think he is on the public dole, it isn't very good at it.

What Is Bernie Sanders' Net Worth? - TheStreet

Contrast Sanders, however to Mr. Emoluments-in-chief, who has been laughing all the way to the bank for 3 years at taxpayer expense. We will, however, have an accounting of this. The question will be will he be spending his post-presidency in chains, breaking rocks. That would be the most productive thing he has ever done.

Can we expect chants of "Lock Him Up" at the Democrat gettogether in Milwaukee this July?

Not likely. The Dems have far more class than that. But, certainly the Trump presidency will be investigated for years to come.

"America first" nearly wrecked the country in the 1930s while allowing dictators and psychotic thugs to nearly take over most of the globe. Isolationism didn't work in the 1930s, and the world is much more interconnected today that it was all those years ago.

Aside from a handful of dictators, nobody likes Trump internationally.

The irony of the group which produced the "Deep State" and "Qanon" conspiracy theories talking about telling people what they want to hear is rather amusing.

America First this time returned this country to the leadership position in the world and put pressure on supposed allies to boost NATO expenditures and they have. These so called "allies" however are suffering at home due to declining popularity and economies. The fact that "nobody" likes Trump affects you how? It certainly doesn't affect Americans as these so called countries that don't like us NEED us and the products we create. The irony is you people buy rhetoric and have no concept of context

Your party is a complete disaster, the difference between Bernie and Biden is stark, Bernie will win the nomination but isn't as far left as the Bernie supporters who will not vote. Thank you for giving us four more years of Trump and the economic results generated the last three years

yeah, good luck with that fantasy.....

Trump has a ceiling of 46ish% approval, has done nothing to expand his base, and the Republicans have continually underperformed in all elections since 2016. If you haven't been paying attention, and you rarely do, the Democrats had dismal turnout in 2016 (which is why Trump won), but exceptionally strong turnout ever since, including 2018 and yesterday. Trump is currently upside down against virtually all democratic candidates in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and even Arizona. What is hs path to victory? Trump might win; but its highly unlikely.

Meanwhile, the economy has likely stepped through the door of recession: $6T of wealth evaporated, companies are making downward adjustments in earnings, and the fed is making capricious interest rate cuts. Those things do not happen in a strong economy. Maybe Trump can run on the Mexican boogeyman again. Hate seems to sell in your party.

Trump's so called ceiling is without a Democratic Candidate to compare. You keep hoping for someone to replace Trump but have given no viable reason that an average American should vote for a Democrat. They will always vote their pocketbook and that doesn't bode well for Democrats

Keep praying for a disaster in the U.S. economy showing your true colors. Your anti American ideology that promotes politics of personal destruction, class envy, jealousy doesn't sell which is why Trump has a 56% approval rating on the economy. Guess you aren't part of that 56%

You are correct, Donald Trump has added to America's disgrace.

Sorry but the socialist ideology is the real disgrace as it demeans people and destroys initiative and incentive. It is a great ideology for third world countries which is what you want in this one. Glad you live in the EU as you would never survive here

Dear Bernie Sanders: You can’t separate Cuba’s social policies from its authoritarianism
Dear Bernie Sanders: You can’t separate Cuba’s social policies from its authoritarianism by Professor Carlos Eire, published in The Washington Post — Center for a FREE Cuba

By Carlos Eire

Carlos Eire was born in Havana and is the T.L. Riggs Professor of History and Religious Studies at Yale University. His memoir “Waiting for Snow in Havana” won the National Book Award for nonfiction in 2003.

Unfazed by the howls of indignation — honest or feigned — over his recent praise of communist Cuba, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has reaffirmed his admiration for the Castro regime’s social policies over the past few days. He has done so while simultaneously insisting that he’s “very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba.”

But can the achievements of any monstrous regime ever be praised? Is it really possible to separate the cruelty of any dictatorship from any of its policies? In the case of communist Cuba, a further question arises: Is it possible to believe any of the claims it makes for its own achievements, given that it generates its own statistics and promotes its own version of history?

“If a man is not a socialist by the time he is 20, he has no heart. If he is not a conservative by the time he is 40, he has no brain.” The phrase is attributed to Winston Churchill. That's not true. These characters have brains, but they've been abducted by "progressive syndrome."

The progressives know of the existence of the gulags, but justify them on the grounds that there are always people dissatisfied with the noblest causes. They hide the repression under the mantle of good intentions.

It doesn't bode well for Republicans now, does it? I always have remarked that Trump inherited a strong economy and has yet to screw it up. I think the day of "yet" has arrived.

People that vote their pocketbooks will not be voting for Republicans. Why should they, the markets always do better under Democrats.

Bernie Sanders's problem is not that he would have been enthusiastic about the Cuban Revolution in 1959. The problem is his moral equivalence among the thousands of political prisoners and the executed, and literacy campaigns.

Because Sanders suffers from “progressive syndrome”, he does not care about the unhappy fate of a Revolution that was made in pursuit of freedom, but from the beginning it became a militarized tyranny.

The Bernie Sanders who is now the Democratic pre-candidate is the same as ever. The 1959 one in Havana. The one of 1979 in Managua. The 1999 in Caracas. Doesn't change.

I wonder how much longer the other Dem candidates are just going to stand by and let Bernie say crap like this unchallenged. Will then finally push back in the next debate?

They might. Bernie has a 74% approval rating among Democrats. You oppose Bernie, you oppose the rank-and-file Dems who choose the candidates.

Bernie is truly the Trump of the left.

It already happened. Trump called NK leader a "Good Guy" and that he and Kim were "in-love". He also said it was amazing how the NK loved their leader. Guess what conservatives said about it? NOTHING negative. Yeah, get off your soap box, your hypocrisy stinks.

Border control is something every country does. Depicting someone who supports it as a club-wielding Neo-Nazi is so dishonest on every level.

Why every level? Because Bernie used to be for border control until he was against it. The most delicious lies are the ones people tell themselves. Heil Bernie!

Well if it is not possible to separate the monstrosity from the 'achievements' of the regime, then we can stop harping on about Trump's alleged stock market gains and job numbers because he's a racist, sexist, xenophobic p***y-grabber. Yes, it is the same $**t.

Not sure what is wrong with people who put politics above reality. Trump didn't cause the virus regardless of what you think

Trump didn't inherit a strong economy, in spite of the virus employment is strong and market will recover.

What is it about liberals that creates people like you so married to the ideology that you don't grasp reality. Liberalism is a failure

Scholarly sources and critical thinking skills. You know, two components most Adorables lack when it comes to Trump. Please, have a great virus free day, oh wait, I thought the US was virus free with zero cases, the Don had spoken.
