CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 13, 2020
WHAT DID I THINK OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE DEMOCRAT PRIMARY?
THE SOCIALIST BERNIE SANDERS, WHO HONEYMOONED WITH HIS WIFE IN THE SOVIET UNION AND HAS PRAISED SOCIALIST AND COMMUNIST REGIMES IN CUBA AND VENEZUELA, AMONG OTHER PLACES, NARROWLY WON THE POPULAR VOTE AHEAD OF FAILED SOUTH BEND, INDIANA MAYOR PETE BUTTIGIEG. STILL MAYOR PETE HAS MORE DELEGATES THAN SANDERS. BUT IT’S EARLY.
AUDIO OF FORMER NEW YORK MAYOR MIKE BLOOMBERG HAS SURFACED, SHOWING HOW HE ONCE BRAGGED ABOUT HIS STOP AND FRISK POLICY IN MINORITY NEIGHBORHOODS. IT WORKED TO DRASTICALLY LOWER CRIME. BLOOMBERG HAS BEEN ON AN APOLOGY TOUR FOR THE PRACTICE. WHY DON’T REPORTERS GO TO THESE NEIGHBORHOODS AND ASK LAW-ABIDING MINORITY RESIDENTS WHAT THEY THINK? I’M BETTING THEY WERE ALL FOR LOWERING CRIME SINCE THEY WERE ITS PRIMARY VICTIMS.
IN THE AGE OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, RESULTS DON’T MATTER. FEELINGS DO AND THAT’S WHY SANDERS IS IN THE LEAD AT THE MOMENT. SOCIALISM SOUNDS SO ATTRACTIVE UNTIL ONE HAS TO LIVE UNDER IT. WOULD SANDERS SUPPORRTERS BE HAPPY WITH UNDOING THE ECONOMIC SUCCESSES OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION? APPARENTLY THEY DON’T THINK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE BERNIE MAKES THEM FEEL GOOD. I’M CAL THOMAS.
