Should Bernie Sanders get the Democrat nomination, Rep. Dan Crenshaw would be an excellent surrogate to send after him. Crenshaw always has fun dunking on Bernie (see Dan Crenshaw Criticizes Bernie Sanders for Lack of Support on Immigration Solutions and Dan Crenshaw Issues Challenge to Bernie Sanders: Be Honest for a Change). Call me crazy, but I feel this sixty-second video on how socialism doesn't work is directed toward him as well.

Socialism doesn't work because it removes human incentive. And we actually need incentives in our lives. ... [Socialism] infringes on their freedoms and makes people do what the government wants them to do for the sake of the commune. It never actually works. It always ends up in despair.

I give this video the Don Henley award for getting right down to the heart of the matter.

There's a reason all of Sanders' heroes seem to be dictators. His policies rely on a liberal helping of authoritarianism, mixed with a low-information base brainwashed to believe anyone who has more than they do is evil and racist. Which is not to say that I don't think Bernie can win the White House. Honestly, I think it's a coin toss. That's why we need to be making the case against socialism the best way we can, constantly between now and Election Day.
