Thank you, New Hampshire.

Let me take this opportunity to thank the people of the Hampshire for a great victory tonight.

Senator Bernie Sanders got less than 30% of the vote in New Hampshire, but with so many candidates, that was enough for victory.

And that means leadership in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, at least for the moment.

But Sanders bold promises, especially Medicare for all, despite massive cost, guarantee something else, that President Trump will continue

using a political dirty word with a long history in this country. The word is socialism.

Here's just one example from the State of the Union address.

Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.

But what is a socialist country? The president never specifies what he means. And here's Bernie Sanders,

who calls himself a democratic socialist. He says America already is a socialist country.

We are a socialist society today. We have a huge budget. It puts money into all areas.

Now, Donald Trump, before he was president, as a private business person, he received $800 million

in tax breaks and subsidies to build luxury housing in New York.

Now, what does that mean when the government gives you $800 million in tax breaks and subsidies?

The fossil fuel industry, whose product happens to be destroying our planet right now, receives tens and tens of

billions of dollars in tax breaks and subsidies. So does the pharmaceutical industry. The difference

between my socialism and Trump's socialism is, I believe, that government should help working families,

not billionaires. Okay. Different uses of the word socialism by different candidates for president,

given that the president is candidate for re-election. Harold Morrison is with us. He's editor-at-large of

the American prospect, former columnist at the Washington Post, and former vice chair of the Democratic

Socialists of America, Bernie Sanders' organization.

Good to have you with us, Harold.
