Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is the only legitimate choice for the next President of the United States in New Jersey’s Democratic primary this Tuesday, June 7.
Foremost, Sanders is the Democratic Party’s best shot at keeping sideshow barker Donald Trump out of the White House. And that’s reason enough. We can’t fluff off the notion of a President Trump. It could happen.
The writing has been on the wall. Democratic Party darling Hillary Clinton simply hauls around too much baggage. Trump, practiced at finding fault, perceived or genuine, has all the fodder he needs. Lately, we’ve witnessed a sneak preview of the Frightmare ahead if Clinton wins the party's nod.
Trump’s own closet may be bursting at the hinges with skeletons. But the master illusionist, employing his sleight of tongue, can deflect and redirect with aplomb.
A matchup between Sanders and Trump is another story -- a classic contest of good guy versus bad. Sanders’ superior experience, wisdom and integrity will stump Trump.
Aside from agreeing on one or two key issues (like keeping jobs in America) the two anti-establishment candidates are polar opposites.
Sanders, who marched with Martin Luther King, fought for economic justice all of his life. Trump, exploiting loopholes, has strived to enrich himself all of his.
And here’s a novel consideration amidst this disingenuous reality TV age: Bernie Sanders actually appears to consistently tell the truth. Yeah, the truth. Remember that?
