Bernie Sanders and others, despite the surging Vermont senator beginning to close the gap after early primary wins that rocketed him to front-runner status.

India has biggest democracy and second biggest population in the world
FOX NEWS ? It may look as if President Trump's trip to India boils down to little more than media optics and Taj Mahal photo-shoots. But there is much more significance to it than that. Over 100,000 people packed a cricket stadium to hear Trump and the Indian prime minister reprise the "Howdie Modi" event in Houston, Texas a few months ago, with each leader spotlighting the accomplishments of the other and discussing the strengthening bilateral relationship between our two countries....

BEN SHAPIRO ? This week, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., the socialist Democratic presidential front-runner, made waves when he merely reiterated his lifelong warmth toward the viciously evil Cuban Communist regime. Brushing off the human rights violations of Fidel Castro -- a man whose revolution ended with the murder or imprisonment of tens of thousands of his countrymen, and decades of impoverishment and repression for millions -- Sanders explained: "We're very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba, but you know, it's unfair to simply say everything is bad. ... When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing, even though Fidel Castro did it?"... (more)

If Sanders is nominated, Trump will get 65 percent of the vote, the highest for a U.S. presidential candidate in 200 years, and will win every state
CONRAD BLACK ? It is timely to look more closely at Senator Bernie Sanders. He is 78, was born and raised in Brooklyn in a Jewish family; his antecedents on both sides came from Galicia in the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now part of Poland). His father emigrated to New York in 1921 some years after Sanders's mother's family. An older brother, Larry, lives in England and was a Green Party city councilor in Oxford (he and I were opponents in a debate in 2016 in London about the U.S. election, and he was amiable and soft-spoken -- none of Bernie's arm-waving and shouting). Sanders was a capable athlete in his early years but an indifferent student.... (more)
