However, Sanders is honest and authentic and seems to mean well. He isn't a pathological liar like Hillary Clinton, a career politician who'll assume any position and make any noises she thinks will bring her to victory. And if Sanders succeeds in preventing Mrs. Clinton from becoming President, he owe him a debt of gratitude for that alone.

And importing more third world trash won't fix or change that situation.

It's all just an expression of the late Lee Kuan Yew's observation about multiethnic democracies.<br /><br />None of his supporters will admit it- they're probably not even capable of consciously <i>thinking it</i>- but a lot of Sanders' appeal seems to be how much he embodies the ideal of clean, honest, Nordic-style egalitarian socialism, rather than the naked race-bribery and corruption of Clinton & Clinton's brand of socialism, like that of a sub-tropical "Big Man". Sanders' Vermont is actually <i>whiter</i> than Scandinavia these days- a friend who works as a substitute teacher in several school systems there says most of his classes are a sea of pasty blond and light-brown-haired students.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
