ELECTION: Get facts on 'Democratic' candidate

I attended the Western Washington Fair on Tuesday. I stopped by the Democrats’ booth under the bandstand and asked the individual manning the booth a question: Please explain why the Democratic Party is sponsoring and promoting a socialist like Bernie Sanders?

Response: He is not a “socialist”; he is a “Democratic Socialist.”

An amazing response and very revealing. Wake up, citizens, and pay attention to who the political parties are supporting.
