Donald Trump has hardly spent any of his own money to run his presidential campaign, and is running at the top of the polls as a result of free media coverage. Bernie Sanders, on the other hand, isn’t getting any traction, partly because he doesn’t say anything outrageous. Time to switch it up!

That’s the rub … if BS said all the things above (and maybe even more Trumpisms) HE WOULD BE so much more popular! And that’s why Bernie remains a bought-and-paid-for politician who actually advertises that the Palestinians are the primary crooks of the Fertile Crescent, and not just a captive population that’s tired of being treated like a bunch of Warsaw Jews during the last century. The rest of the world does realize that Zionland is as at least as war crook as Nazi Germany was, but the B-boy is even more of a prisoner of his own “Greater-Israel” culture.
Ultimately? As a patriot, Bernie Sanders is just another Netanyahoo-bot vying to be tyrant of Zionland’s American bantustan.

Not so sure, Ted : according to this recent Quinnipiac University poll, Mr Sanders would beat Mr Trump by 51 % to 38 % in a presidential election with the two of them as candidates (http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/presidential-campaign/264023-in-blockbuster-poll-sanders-destroys-trump-by-13). One might even say that Trump (aka Drumpf) would get sanded…. 😉
