Bernie Sanders has the support of Trump, the GOP and Russia... WHY?

The question has to matter and demands an answer.

I asked my brother who is an avid FOX News watcher and Trump supporter, and his response was immediate "because they know they can beat him".

I love Bernie Sanders, always have. He's a great American and a true champion of the people. I agree with his policies and big ideas.

But the one thing I am 100% convinced of and that is that if Bernie is our nominee, the GOP, Trump, and Russia will slaughter him and the Democratic Party along with him.

This election cycle it's not about who's right or who's best for America. This is a war, and the GOP, Trump, and Russia will launch attacks so full of lies and division, Bernie will never be able to launch a decent counteroffensive. He will be a political dead man walking from the moment he wins the nomination.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

He can't win a GE. Period. He's a Democratic Socialist that supported Marxists. Literally. He's never really held a real job. His biography is one that will get him destroyed in a GE.

And the Magnitsky Act.

Which is good for Russia.

Why wouldn’t they support him?

He’s voted against Russian sanctions twice, and skipped a third vote. He also voted against the Magnitsky Act.
