You know one thing that none of the candidates seemed to do this election? Try to use the internet as a primary channel for marketing. Maybe the Russians wouldn't let them.

Either it is wrong to praise a dictator, or it is more complicated. Note that the context I have provided was not specifically to his face. Sanders' comments were wrong on their face, but they were even qualified in a manner that Trump's comments were not.
Bait and switch. "fell in love" was an obvious joke, so now you pivot to a different example.Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostIn both cases, they were focusing on specific areas of the dictator's governance. Sanders was praising Castro's economic upheaval whereas Trump was apparently praising Kim's human rights, erm record. Both are problematic regardless of motivation.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostNo, Trump was just being "nice" for diplomatic reasons. Bernie was praising Cuba because he actually likes Castro and his plans. Trump doesn't actually believe Kim is a humanitarian. It's just one of his tactics. If someone is willing to work with him, they get praised, if not, he trashes them. Not very Presidential, but nothing like Bernie actually LIKING what Castro has done to Cuba. He also praised other dictator controlled countries like Nicaragua and Venezuela. He thinks standing in line for food is "a good thing"
