socialist country. [ cheers and applause ] >> yeah, donald trump is like every other republican businessman in america who hates socialism, except when the socialism is designed to specifically put money in their pockets, like the owners of professional sports teams who force taxpayers to pay for their stadiums. the presidential candidate who is going to beat donald trump on a debate stage is the presidential candidate who knows what to do when donald trump throws around that word "socialism" as if it is a crime. in the final season of nbc's "the west wing" when i wrote the live presidential debate episode, i had alan alda throw the world liberal at jimmy smits, and he said, what i always wanted to hear a candidate say. >> republicans have tried to turn liberal into a bad word. well, liberals ended slavery in this country.
