Bernie and Trump have superficial similarities. Both rarely smile. Both can be gruff and have trouble taking advice. But Bernie reads, thinks, and empathizes with people who desperately need universal healthcare and endure daily poverty. Frantically tweeting Donald doesn't read or think, and is devoid of empathy, preferring to use his office to enrich Trump family businesses. Instead of spending his time working to understand the problems of working people, thin-skinned Donald spends his time blaming others and viciously nick-naming political opponents.
Bernie is a "democratic socialist," advocating for improvements that western European counties have had for decades as well as ones we had decades ago -- like nearly tuition free higher education after World War II at state universities from California to New York and even an early sales tax on Wall Street trading.
Donald is a corporate socialist and a champion of the dictatorial, corporate state (Wall Street owning Washington) that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt called "fascism" in a message to Congress in 1938.
Bernie is a good, crisp debater. Donald is a shouter, stage liar, and evader-in-chief. Bernie refuses corporate PAC money and has millions of people funding the campaign with small donations. Trump goes for the zillionaires. I could go on. For more usable information, read the new book, Fake President, by Mark Green and me.
According to the number one Democrat, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Trump is "a crook, a thief, a liar. He should be in prison." Can anybody think honest Bernie is not electable against corrupt Donald?
