Better Know A Socialist: Bernie Sanders Visited Stephen Colbert

-Bernie Sanders made an entertaining yet instructive appearance on The Late Show on Friday night, faring much better in the politically-essential late-night joke arena than Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush, and Donald Trump have thus far.

He's got a platform, he's polished it to a gleam, he can talk about it verbatim, it makes sense and hangs together, and it's something he knows how to sell. And the American people are desperate to buy a REAL future!

Who could ask for anything more?
