Greg Gutfeld said on "The Five" today that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is a good politician because "all he does is sell himself."

"He's been running for office since 1972, affording him the luxury of selling a failed ideology that never requires purchase," Gutfeld explained. "Socialism, a harmless thing until it finds real power. Then it's deadly."

Gutfeld asserted that Sanders would "gladly" turn America into Greece or Venezuela.

"This dope once adored the Sandinistas, a toxic bunch of commies," Gutfeld added. "Sanders is so nutty, most kids should be allergic to him."

Gutfeld said the press loves Sanders, "because they assume his bad ideas may never see the light of day."

He further asserted the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate's goal "is not to get America back on its feet, but to put it under for good."
