If Democrats want to elect their own @RealDonaldTrump, they would choose @BernieSanders who is similar in character and temperament. Their ideologies differ in they each have their own monomania coupled with belligerent ignorance.

They are both grifters counting on personality cult promotion and ignorance to lift them up. They are both creatures of the media. They both are nepotists who abuse their power to pay family. They are both liars. They both have a questionable connect to Russia

They are both anti-immigrant though Bernie lies to pretend otherwise now. They are both bigots, only recognizing stereotypes of Black people, one with hate, the other with pity & condescension. They are both intellectually lazy & not interested in policy details

Neither of them know how their policy ideas will function nor can they explain them. For them, policy is always a bumper sticker slogan. They both enriched themselves with their campaign money. They are both angry and and abusive men.

Bernie and Trump disrespect the media, walking out when questioned about anything serious. They both lie to attack the Democrats. They both claim they are victims of conspiracy. They are both paranoid conspiracy-mongers who benefit from alt-right and alt-left racism.

They are both abusive to their staff. They both avoided hiring POC until pushed into it by scrutiny. They both think nearly all black people are criminals and drug users who live in poverty. They both attack Wall Street without any real plan for regulating Wall Street

They both fail to read past the headlines. They both embrace Russia. They both benefited from Putin's troll farms and do nothing to prevent that happening again. They both chose to employ agents of Russia in their campaigns.

The only difference between them is which side of the aisle they push their populism from, but they both promote ignorance and division in order to enrich themselves and their family.

And please, Sanders knew very well he was getting more SuperPAC support than Clinton. Rose DeMAuro flushed millions down Bernie's toilet bowl campaign.
