That's pretty much what I have been trying to fathom why people have latched onto stuff like this that Bernie spews.  I get why the millennials and younger seem to latch onto these ideas,

The Danes apparently have grown weary of Sen. Bernie Sanders insulting their country. Denmark
is not a socialist nation, says its prime minister. It has a "market economy."

Sanders, the Democratic presidential candidate who calls himself a socialist, has used Denmark as
the example of the socialist utopia he wants to create in America. During the Democrats' first debate
last month, he said "we should look to countries like Denmark, like Sweden and Norway, and learn
from what they have accomplished for their working people."

While appearing in New Hampshire in September, Sanders said that he had "talked to a guy from
Denmark" who told him that in Denmark, "it is very hard to become very, very rich, but it's pretty hard
to be very, very poor."

"And that makes a lot of sense to me."

So because something makes sense to him, he has the right to force that system on people who don't
want it? Isn't that what he's saying?

But we digress. This is about Danes being offend[ed] by Sanders using the word "socialist" to describe
their form of government. And who can blame them, especially when the free world has had enough
of national socialists and Soviet socialists and North Korean socialists and Cuban socialists?

Am watching some post debate analysis and seems like it was a total shitshow. People talking over each other, lengthy ranting, and no control.

So, if Bernie "Honeymooned in Moscow" Sanders wins the presidency (humongous "if"), I don't think we have to worry about Socialism.

He's been in Congress as a Rep and Senator now for 29 years (Rep: 1991-2007; Sen: 2007-Present).  I went to Congress.gov and did a search of his record.

He's sponsored 934 bills over his 29 years.  Of those only 3 have been signed into law, and 2 of those were to rename a Post Office.   

To be fair, he's co-sponsored a higher number, and 221  of those became law (218 if you don't count the 3 he sponsored as the primary). 

Many of the laws co-sponsored were to authorize Congressional Gold Medals for people and organizations -- about 23.

A bigger number were resolutions, like condemning the violence at Charlottesville, Va.  He also signs onto the bills to provide annual COLA increases for Veterans, as if that's not going to be close to automatically signed by the President.  Another co-sponsored law was to let the Post Office raise funds for breast cancer awareness.

Somehow, I'd think in his decades of gov't service, he would have a better resume.

It lends credence to Hildabeast's recent comment, that nobody in Congress likes Bernie, and nobody wants to work with him.  If that's true (considering the source), I don't think Bernie has the backing to implement his Socialist ideology.

Lot of criticism on social media about the lack of control by King and ODonnell. 
If I was the moderator, I would demand that 1) I have a switch to cut off anyone's mike. 
2) Tell the nominees that if they keep talking after I tell them your time is up, they will be escorted off the stage after the first warning.

Not sure who the eventual nominee will be, but heard one political analyst say yesterday that 65% of voters think that Trump will be re-elected.

To be fair it is not easy to push through an agenda being an outsider, and he was probably hired to push back against the establishment rather than lead it in a new direction.

I agree that there is no need to worry about a radical agenda and his accomplishments will be limited by the uncooperativeness of the deep state, at least until the next midterm.

Interesting note that media is basically trying to brace up support for Biden again. Apparently, he is still the DNC’s #1 candidate. If he wins SC he might still just get the super delegate support that I predicted earlier. But if he has another poor showing I don’t know what the DNC is going to do? I’m not sure what they still see in him, tho, He is not all with us I think. To me he is either showing signs of extreme stress or more likely he is losing his faculties. It’s sad. He should have stayed in retirement.

I really can’t see them supporting Bernie. They know if they nominate Bernie, he will lose. And I think Bernie has the best chance of winning against Trump than Biden does.

Overall the debate last night was a free for all with no moderator really stepping in when things got out of hand. There will be some great video clips coming out this morning.

If Bernie is still an outsider after 29 years in the US Congress, then it speaks volumes about his inability to get anything done if he becomes President.

Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) introduced a resolution Wednesday condemning Democratic presidential
front-runner Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for his positive remarks about Cuba under the late dictator Fidel
Castro.

Sanders this week said it would be "unfair to simply say everything" under Castro was bad, pointing to the
high literacy rate when the Cuban leader was in power. The comments, which Sanders later doubled down
on, were criticized by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

Diaz-Balart — a relative of Castro's and a staunch critic of Cuban leadership — blasted Sanders’s remarks
Wednesday.

“I remind the senator and the progressive movement that the Castro regime is a threat, not only by the way
to the national security of the United States, but also to all of the democracies in this hemisphere. This
regime has been on the list of state sponsors of terrorism for many years for its support of other terrorist
states and organized terrorist groups,” he told reporters at a press conference.

Bernie Sanders was asked to leave a hippie commune in 1971 for "sitting around and talking"
about politics instead of working, according to a forthcoming book.

We Are As Gods by Kate Daloz, scheduled for release April 26, chronicles the rise and fall of
the Myrtle Hill Farm in northeast Vermont. Daloz, a Brooklyn writer, was in a special position to
write a history of Myrtle Hill: she was raised near the commune in a geodesic dome residence
with an outhouse called the Richard M. Nixon Memorial Hall. Her parents were close acquaintances
of the commune residents, who offered them tips about wilderness living.

In the summer of 1971, Myrtle Hill received a visitor: Bernie Sanders, age 30, at the cusp of his
political career with the socialist Liberty Union Party.

Sanders came to the farm while researching an article on natural childbirth for the Liberty Union’s
party organ, Movement. Interest in alternative medicine was strong among members of the counterculture
as part of their wider suspicion of modern science, which was associated with the sterility of hospitals
and the destruction of war. "Many elements of Western medicine came under suspicion during this period,
but none more so than modern obstetrics," Deloz writes.

When not reporting on the miracle of life, Sanders spent his time at Myrtle Hill in "endless political discussion,"
according to Deloz.

Sanders’ idle chatter did not endear him with some of the commune’s residents, who did the backbreaking
labor of running the place. Daloz writes that one resident, Craig, "resented feeling like he had to pull others
out of Bernie’s orbit if any work was going to get accomplished that day."
