        In 2013 33 million people visited Russia which made it the 9th most visited Country in the world and 7th most visited in Europe. Lots of people visit Russia, seer.

          It wasn't the SOVIET UNION in 2013.

            Do a little searching rather than just accepting the propaganda. Sanders was the mayor of Burlington Vermont at the time the Soviet Union was breaking apart. Reagon and Gorbachev were negotiating a nuclear treaty and Sanders was trying to establish a dialogue to help ease tensions between the two countries, and building an exchange program with a "sister city" in Russia. The diplomatic visit to that Russian "sister city' had already been booked so the Sanders decided to combine the trip with their honeymoon, mixing pleasure with business, so to speak. They didn't go alone either, they had an entourage of Vermont officials that travelled with them.

                Hey seer, Trump visited the Soviet Union in 1987, a year before Sanders did, and then in 1988 he changed his party affiliation from democrat to republican and hinted at running for President.

                • The American people elected FDR president four times, I guessing that now that the Dems are running another FDR democrat in Bernie, the American people are going to wish they could elect him president four times too.

                    Sanders' honeymoon was in 1988 so I don't know why you'd think this was relevant.

                      So now visiting Russia and having Russian friends is okay. I love the smell of hypocrisy, in the morning.

                        FDR also...

                        Interned millions of Japanese Americans.
                        Restricted immigration.
                        Sent Jews back to Europe, which was under Nazi control.
                        Attempted to replace the Supreme Court with his own judges.
                        Packed the Federal Government with his own like minded people, to push through whatever he wanted.

                        FDR did the things you accuse Trump of doing, but you apparently love FDR. Why?

                          When intelligence agencies suspected that Russia was trying to help the Sanders campaign, he was kindly given a heads-up and told to be careful.

                          When intelligence agencies suspected that Russia was trying to help the Trump campaign, they kept it to themselves and used it as a predicate to begin an elaborate surveillance and sting operation against Trump and his campaign staff, even going so far as to manufacture "evidence" to keep the operation going.

                          Nothing to see here, folks...

                            • Bernie praised the USSR, Fidel Castro (Cuba), Daniel Ortega (Nicaragua), and even Venezuela after Maduro took over. ""These days, the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such ...Venezuela"

                              and yet Jimmy thinks he is just fine, but with absolutely no evidence whatsoever, he thinks Trump is a Russian Spy.

                              • Has anyone seen Bernie do anything other than yell and shake his finger? Seen him make a joke? Crack a smile? He reminds me of those preachers that just yell at the congregation and preach about hellfire.
