I want to urge my fellow constitutionalists, and those who care about freedom and liberty, to quit talking-up Bernie Sanders as being “authentic” and refraining from labeling the Bronx Bolshevik as an out-and-out communist.

The theory, as it goes in the popular culture, is that Bernie Sanders represents such as stark contrast between capitalism and communism that any American voter with a brain could see for themselves what a Sander's Presidency would represent.

Unfortunately, the majority of progressive socialist democrats, especially those indoctrinated in today's public schools and colleges, see Sander's so-called socialism as somewhat mainstream -- if not just "a little left of center." These are the people with no real historical references to communism or the type of authoritarian socialism practiced in Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, and elsewhere.

Many of the remaining progressive socialist democrats have an almost pathologically aversion to President Trump's idiosyncrasies -- especially the Queens, New York exaggerating and posturing. Or Trump's inability to quit tweeting "unpresidential" comments or re-tweeting the craziness of others.

All echoed and amplified by the 24/7 attack by the mainstream media that mostly appears to be the propaganda arm of the Democratic National Committee.

Even the revelation of the machinations of an interrelated cabal of Democrats, including the Obama White House and our nation's premier intelligence and law enforcement agencies, in perpetrating the most massive voter fraud in the history of our country does not dissuade them from their anti-Trump hatred.

What is far scarier than the progressive population's reaction to Trump, is the likelihood of a "black swan" event where Bernie Sanders is elected.

For those who believe and say this cannot happen here in the United States, consider the fact that candidate Donald Trump was supposed to be a clownish celebrity buffoon who had zero chance of winning the presidency against Hillary Clinton. And who would be the most unlikely president in the history of the United States if elected.

Don't say that Bernie Sanders could not win -- stranger things have happened, ask President Donald J. Trump.

Bottom line…

Ignore President Trump's sometimes outrageous behavior, the pomposity, the braggadocio, the tweets, the rallies and look at what he has actually done for the United States while under continual attack by a hostile media and the dishonest Democrat majority in the House of Representatives who sought to impeach President Trump from the very day of his inauguration.

This is the type of President I want. Not cowed by the media or public opinion and doing what he believes is right for America and all Americans.
