Bernie's travel travails...

Didn't 7 Republican Senators spend Independence Day, ours, in Russia in July of 2018?  Rhetorical...  Yes, they did.  The regimes Bernie visited more than 30 years ago were, some still are, communist, not socialist; big difference. 

Cuban doctors make significant contributions to Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières) as well as providing Cubans and medical tourists (some from the USA) with good, some seem to feel that it's better (definitely more affordable than in the United States), medical care. 

While communism has been, on the whole, bad for Cuba, they (like a broken, analog clock) get it right twice a day.

Does anybody remember, "glasnost and perestroika? (openness and restructuring)"  It was that period in time (1980s) that the leaders and citizens of the USSR discovered that they were a third world country with thousands of nuclear weapons, the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union.

A Mayor from Burlington, VT had the means and the curiosity to make some visits that many would question, but I'll bet he took good notes; learned some things first hand.

Bernie is not my first choice, Elizabeth Warren is, but if he's the Democratic nominee I will vote for him.

Blue no matter who: BlueNami (Blue Tsunami) coming this November!
