bernie wins the coveted trump endorsement

President Trump said in an interview broadcast Sunday that he thinks Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is a communist.

Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Trump in an interview that aired prior to Super Bowl LIV for quick reactions to a number of Democratic presidential candidates, including Sanders.

"I think he’s a communist. I mean, you know, look, I think of communism when I think of Bernie," Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity.

"Now, you could say socialist, but didn’t he get married in Moscow?" Trump added, with Hannity interjecting to note Sanders went to the former Soviet Union on his honeymoon.

"I think of Bernie sort of as a socialist but far beyond a socialist," Trump continued. "At least he’s true to what he believes."

This will ultimately affect the UK and, well, Canada and the rest of the world so it's impossible to feign indifference, alas.

Good luck, US

yeah bernie doing well could have a tremendous effect on the canadian left imo

Why are people so obsessed with 1972?? Like, you guys lost an election. Not an infrequent occurrence. (Also, dude wasn't from Utah, was he?)

I saw a Bernie sticker on a janitor's cart at the Montreal airport last year!

surprised Jack White is a Berniebro tbh, suspected him of being a secret conservative

Well, yeah, but 1972 is the second biggest landslide in modern history, so it makes perfect sense to worry about repeating that mistake! The only time Dems got beaten as bad was in 84, when they nominated a former vice president who didn't inspire anyone, and... Hm...

mcgovern wasn't even notably left except on the war, correct?

it makes sense to use less ahistorical analogies. In this country, Dems are obsessed with 1972 and marginalizing Jimmy Carter.

From what I've read Humphrey in '68 (hell, maybe Humphrey in '72) was more liberal, plus had the support of the classic New Deal coalition machine.

That's what I mean. That one loss 48 years ago doesn't prove very much about the viability of nominating a leftist candidate, given the number of factors involved and the fact that they have lost badly with moderate candidates as well. 3xp

McGovern’s candidacy was partly sold on the prospect of expanding the base and turning out the youth vote. The voting age had just been lowered to 18 in ‘71 and people thought it would be a game changer.

To discuss why McGovern lost and ignore the extent to which CREEP/Nixon ratfucked his candidacy from the start plus the masterful job Nixon had done stirring racial and anti-youth animus is to own a photo of Chris Matthews and aspire to his dumb fucking conventional wisdom.

Also, landslides don't happen anymore.

Trump is also Nixonian or at least aspires to be. McGovern was a straight shooter whereas Nixon was known as Tricky Dicky from the beginning of his long political career.

didn't a bunch of the mcgovern team end up in the clinton machine?

(just looked up pat caddell and he p much ended up on the trump team, also i hadn't spotted he died a year ago)

Namely, the Clintons. It's called getting old and corrupt.

haven't watched enough of THE IRISHMAN (2019) to discover if it explores how the union vote was deployed against mcgovern's "straight shooter" vibe: mcgovern inherited all the starry-eyed youngsters who thought RFK was purely a good guy in the kennedy-hoffa feud :\

tactically and strategically this was a bad thing to think: whatever their other virtues, dems after mcgovern were all busily anti-union

Another McGovern parallel: he proposed an early form of UBI, a thousand dollars annually paid to every American citizen. Not sure what that works out to in 2020 dollars.

Twenty million dollars iirc
