24. People will see a real populist versus a fake one

Back in 2016 Trump did put a lot of populism in his campaign. He as going to get us the BEST Healthcare. Manufacturing jobs were coming back. He was going to stand up for the little guy. Remember Drain the Swamp"?

Of course, he didn't' mean any of it. But a good conman knows how to read a crowd to know what they want to hear.

There's a reason Sanders loves to bring up the stuff Trump promised back in 2016.

Sanders has decades of history fighting for actual progressive policies. He doesn't have to lie and pretend to be f0r these popular ideas.

I think people will see the difference when you put a conman next to a real populist.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
