Let's look at Bernie Sanders' past...

This is the man you lefties and millennials trumpet as being "a good man, who has good intentions."
Bernie IS what the left accuses Trump of being.

1963-64: He joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. Sanders also organized for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was infiltrated by hardened Communist agents and under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
1971-76: Sanders helped found the socialist Liberty Union Party in Vermont, where he ran for governor and senator while calling for the government takeover of the medical industry and "all privately owned electric utilities," as well as the “nationalization of the oil industry” -- “without compensation to the banks and wealthy individuals who own them.”
Sounding like Lenin, he also demanded the government actually seize corporate assets and the wealth of billionaires, namely the Rockefellers, and redistribute it “for all people."
1981: As Burlington’s new mayor, Sanders announced he didn’t believe in private charities and favored disbanding them, explaining government should be responsible for all social welfare and charity.
1985: Sanders invited officials from the Soviet Union and communist China to stop by his office, while proposing that Washington divert military defense funds to “pay for thousands of U.S. children to go to the Soviet Union."
July 1985: After passing a resolution pledging Burlington would defy President Reagan’s embargo on communist-controlled Nicaragua, Sanders traveled to Managua to attend, along with Soviet officials, an anti-U.S. rally sponsored by the Sandinistas.
He reportedly stood with a crowd that chanted, “Here, there, everywhere, the Yankee will die.” His trip was said to have been paid for by the Sandinista government. Sanders, in turn, invited Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega to visit the U.S.
1985: In the same interview, he praised Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, claiming “he educated their kids, gave their kids health care, totally transformed society.” He later showed his affection by traveling to Havana and meeting with its mayor.
1985: In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Sanders proclaimed: “The whole quality of life in America is based on greed. I believe in the redistribution of wealth in this nation.”
1989: With the West on the verge of winning the Cold War, Sanders addressed the national conference of the U.S. Peace Council -- another known front for the Communist Party USA, whose members swore an oath to “the triumph of Soviet power in the U.S.”

His greatest desire is the government's boot on our throats.

And even the DNC was smart enough to know that he was a bad choice. Rigged or not, every other candidate, even Hillary, in the 2016 primaries was a better choice than Bernie.

Will not miss him when he finally croaks.

We kind of owe a debt of gratitude to the DNC and MSM for keeping this clown in his place.

He's a piece of shite. There's no place in America for scum like him.

Yeah frick this guy. He's the opposite of a good man and would be the actual fascist that people claim Trump to be.

I'D like to see someone do Obama...oh...thats right, his history is either a mystery or a bunch of made up crap with no actual people to corroborate the shtick.
From self declared communist Van Jones, to posing in front of a large picture of communist Che...to Chairman Mao Christmas ornaments to friendship with Chavez, to Bill Ayers penchant for wearing the communist Red Star, to his power tactics of suppressing his distractors by using the power of the government, etc, etc.....I'm sure it's all a coincidence.

"Sanders' activism at the University of Chicago has been in the news recently, after questions arose about a different photo that appeared to show Sanders addressing students at a 1962 campus sit-in. At first, several alumni identified the speaker as another man, according to the University of Chicago Library's Special Research Center. The other man is no longer alive.
However, photographer Danny Lyon, who took that photo, contacted the research center and made available more photos from the same sequence, confirming Sanders' identity, the center said.
Devine called those questions about the sit-in photo "unfair and unfounded."
"His activism and when it occurred, as a young college student, set in motion the direction of his life," Devine said...In the early 1960s, protests over segregation in the Englewood area raged over mobile classrooms dubbed "Willis Wagons," named for then-Chicago Schools Superintendent Benjamin Willis. Critics charged that the trailers kept black children in the area instead of sending them to white schools."

I guess protesting segregation doesn't meet your approval.

Bernie made Nasty look sane and reasonable by comparison in those debates.
I actually found myself cheering her on at some points when refuting his ridiculousness.
It was a weird fricking feeling.
ETA:I would be that guy smoking a cig watching that commie scum get hauled off in that picture. That must have been great.

Rallying the black population against the US government was a major focus of the USSR-backed socialist/communist movement of the 1960s. Part of this tactic was to take up the cause of racial injustice in order to gain favor.

this is the best part.
everything is a commie plot with you paranoid reactionaries.
"hardened" agents. really? fist fighting or veterans of Stalingrad vs the Germans.
And HUAC was looking into them. I am really convinced.
Asswipe Bachman wanted to bring back HUAC.
She's your new guiding light in your paranoia?
Or do you just claim commie so you can dismiss any actual considerations?
