Bernie: It is 'strange' that Trump is more comfortable with authoritarians than democratic leaders

It is strange how Bernie Sanders sold out to Hillary for the Democratic nomination. That should have been a huge wake-up call to Sander’s supporters.

Bernie pushed early on at the DNC Convention to stop their “normal” process and just give the nomination to Hillary.

Bernie was paid off. Bernie did what Bernie was paid off to do.

Trump is trying to end a potential nuclear threat against the United States.

Bernie thus rationalizes that Trump must like being around Dictators.

All this flies in the face of Jimmy Carter meeting with the Castro clan in Cuba. It flies in the face of him meeting with the former dictator Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. It flies in the face of him meeting with Kim's dad in North Korea.

What did Carter get out of any of that? In Cuba and Venezuela he tried for an got nothing at all. His dealings with North Korea were better (for NK) in that he green lighted the nation to pursue nuclear weapons and advanced delivery systems.

Here Trump has to meet with a dictator. Jimmy never had to.

I can't remember now if Jimmy met with the Leftist leader in Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega too. I believe Carter met with him too, but I may be wrong.

Well, I think we can safely say he met with Ortega also.

I didn’t know there was another sensory organ that can witness another person’s emotions. Eyes see, ears hear, the nose smells, the tongue tastes, there is touch. What is the organ that intercepts another persons emotional state? Otherwise it’s just conjecture opinion meant to frame a narrative. Idiot.

Is it? At least these “authoritarians” do not try and hide who they are.... you know what youre going to get. With these so called democratic leaders.... a stab in the back is only a matter of when , not if.
