3. pfeiffer, you might want to change the...

"Sanders's" in your title to "Sanders'". When a name ends in an "s", one only needs to add the apostrophe, not an apostrophe and an "s".

6. People are going bankrupt because they get sick

What Bernie says about a dead man is not high on a lot of people's priorities anymore.

By the way, Batista was just as bad.

7. I don't understand how ..

People can not understand that you can praise one program of a government without necessary approving of the government as a whole.

People always said Mussolini made the trains run on time. That doesn't necessarily mean they approved of Mussolini.

I had a teacher in middle school who told us that as bad as communism in the Soviet Union was, people accepted it because for the vast majority of people, it was better than what they had before.

8. The Worst Thing

If this is the worst thing about Bernie, then he should be fine. I do not think it is wise to praise Castro, and Bernie is making a mistake doing it. That said, Trump has done about a 100 things that are worse. And, some of Bernie's opponents have their own problems. Bloomberg has a bunch of former employees that signed NDA papers, for example.

So, our candidates are human beings, and human beings are not perfect. I think Bernie should talk to some Cubans in Florida and try and get himself on the right page with them. I agree that this Castro issue is a problem, and one of the few areas that Bernie should maybe reconsider his opinion or position. I do not think that this error will be fatal to his campaign, though. He has momentum. So, we shall see what happens.
