Senator Bernie Sanders advocates for an economy for all in Indy visit

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has told supporters in Indianapolis that the U.S. needs an economy that works for everybody and not just the wealthiest 1 percent.

Sanders was joined Monday afternoon at Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis by Chuck Jones, the former labor union president of a factory where Carrier Corp. is moving more than 600 jobs to Mexico. People in the crowd chanted “Offshore no more.”

Before Sanders’ rally, Indiana GOP Chairman Kyle Hupfer issued a statement saying “good Republican common sense is working here in Indiana.” He said Indiana’s unemployment rate is at historic lows and 95,000 job openings are waiting to be filled.

Sanders won last year’s Indiana Democratic primary over Hillary Clinton.

His fantasy platform will attract naive and unmotivated voters who believe Bernie will make someone else will pay their way – so they can spend more on gadgets and entertainment.

His fantasy platform will attract the useful idiots as Monte said. They will be useful until he has the power he wants, then they will be reeducated to be good little workers in his new United Soviet Socialist Republic…his true home.

The only deranged person pushing this type of re-education “Authoritarianism” is TRUMPY, Joe speaks the “Truth” and has done more for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 🇺🇸 than TRUMPY could do in a 100 life times.

TRUMPY was really never a president, but a Cult Leader, Mob Boss want-to-be, Putin LOVER, etc., etc., etc.!!!
