Marcus, great piece and I completely agree with the points you make.

I’d add several more of my own, first admitting that I loath Bernie Sanders and have done so for many years.

But I come at this not from my personal feelings but, rather, as a Psychologist and a professional. I have been a careful observer of Sanders and Trump for a long time!

The character and personalities of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have some very real similarities.

• They are both egomaniacal narcissists.
• They’re both often belligerent.
• They both pout when the don’t win or get their way, and lash out in anger as a result, or when challenged.
• They’re both misogynistic.
• They are each, in their own way, very angry men.
• They each must be the center of attention in all public endeavors.
• Neither of them ever think they are wrong about anything.
• They each believe their own bull shit.

Thanks for writing this well-thought-out analysis. I so appreciated reading it. And clapped loudly.
