Bernie Sanders Admits His Real Motives for Running…Again
By Townhall. Democrats seem to think that if they continue running for president that maybe, just maybe, one day their hope will become a reality. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and his campaign team are running a social media campaign focused on why the senator is running for president.
I’m running for president because, now more than ever, we need leadership that brings us together – not divides us up. I need you to be a part of this million person movement to transform our country. Join me: https://t.co/qF3DpJmRX3 pic.twitter.com/3wtNIEkH32

Clearly, this is a jab at President Donald Trump. Let’s face it. Trump has a different leadership style than most. He says what everyone is thinking but no one has the courage to say. While his comments can come off as brash, he’s saying what needs to be said. And Democrats clearly don’t like that. . .
I'm running for president because we must end the epidemic of gun violence in this country. We need to take on the NRA, expand background checks, end the gun show loophole and ban the sale and distribution of assault weapons.

I'm running for president because we need to have the best educated workforce in the world. That is why we need to make public colleges and universities tuition free and lower student debt.
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) February 21, 2019
Almost everyone can get behind lowering the student loan debt. But very few would agree that college and universities should be tuition free. Here’s why:
When you have to pay for your education, you value it. You take it seriously. You study. You get good grades. You earn your degree. When it’s paid for, you have less invested, both monetarily and emotionally. Why would you care if you flunked a semester or flunked out of school? You didn’t pay for it. No sweat off your back. There’s nothing tangible to look at.
I’m running for president because we must defend a woman’s right to control her own body against massive political attacks taking place at the local, state and federal level.

I’m running for president because we need leadership that will fight for the interests of workers, not just the 1 percent. We must:
-Raise the minimum wage to a living wage of $15
-Provide pay equity for women
-Guarantee all workers paid family and medical leave— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) February 22, 2019

Vintage Bernie Footage Shows Now-Presidential Candidate Praising Breadlines, Communist Nations
By Fox News. Presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has never shied away from his embrace of a hard-left agenda, but the democratic socialist is facing renewed scrutiny over a catalog of comments he made in the 1980s praising the Soviet Union, offering advice to Nicaragua’s socialist government — and even saying breadlines in communist countries are a “good thing.”
Videos of those comments have recirculated online at a furious pace ever since Sanders jumped in the 2020 race Tuesday, this time as a putative front-runner rather than the underdog he played in 2016 against an establishment favorite. With his increased stature, and role in pulling the entire field to the left, has come a tougher look at his long record talking up socialist governments.
“It’s funny sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is because people are lining up for food. That’s a good thing,” he said in one vintage video unearthed by conservative activists. “In other countries, people don’t line up for food, rich people get the food and poor people starve to death.”
