1. He proudly admits that he is a socialist on video

2. He has voted against every single Russian sanctions bill.

3. He was actively supported by Russia (See Mueller's indictment of Russia)

4. Intelligence agencies are again seeing that Russia is helping Bernie via bots, trolls and disinformation campaigns.

5. Bernie praised Cuba and Fidel Castro around the cuban missile crisis.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
