Trump- like Hitler- pushes the right wing mob in the direction it wants to go

Did General Pershing really do that ?
As a critical supporter of " socialist " Bernie Sanders-and a registered Democrat myself- I don't see how any potential primary voter who takes the " feel the Bern " POLITICAL REVOLUTION half seriously could easily be persuaded to support " lesser evil "  Democrat Hillary Clinton. A lot  more militant democratic socialists already see Sanders as a " lesser evil ".
      The rise to popularity of both Trump, the maverick Republican ,and Sanders, the maverick Democratic ,is a barometer of " anti-establishment " mood of the American people.
       In a world on the brink of World War III Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont is weak on foreign policy. He hardly sounds different from Hillary Clinton. I would like to hear Bernie sound more like the famous pacifist A.J. Muste who asked during those Cold War years : " Who has the Spiritual Atom Bomb ? "
         Trump is NOT Hitler but is like Hitler in being both reactionary and unprincipled. He tells the enraged -and often ruined- American middle class what they want to hear.  Like Hitler he pushes the right-wing-and erratic- mob in the direction it wants to go. Not for nothing the new Russian czar, Vladimir Putin, thinks he can " make a deal " with Donald Trump.
         Both Trump and Putin are " New Colonialism " visionaries. In post- Soviet Russia -and in pro-capitalist China " socialist " Bernie Sanders is considered a threat to the new rich.
         And yet Sanders is much more a New Deal liberal-or at best a Fabian Socialist-  making  GRADUALISM an absolute truth.
         The destruction of the environment is hardly " gradual ".



   " Donald Trump praised a US general who killed 49 Muslims with bullets dipped in pig blood and fat - even though the story has been widely debunked."
