Sanders: Trump is ‘Getting Nervous’


DECEMBER 27, 2015




BURLINGTON, Vt. – Quoting Donald Trump’s assertion that wages in the United States are “too high,” U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Sunday said Trump’s attempt to back away from his own words shows that the Republican front-runner is “getting nervous that working families are catching on” to his views.

“Donald Trump says that I’m a liar because I said he believes wages in America are too high. Really?” Sanders said in response to Trump’s assertion on Twitter on Sunday. “This is what CNN reported last Nov. 12,” Sanders added. “Trump insisted on Thursday that the U.S. must keep wages low in order to compete with other countries, one day after he dug in on his assertion that ‘wages are too high’ in America. ‘Whether it’s taxes or wages, if they’re too high we’re not going to be able to compete with other countries,’ Trump said Thursday morning on Fox News. Trump first said he believes wages are ‘too high’ during Tuesday night’s Republican debate.”

“It appears that Mr. Trump is getting nervous that working families are catching on that his policies represent the interests of the billionaire class against almost everyone else. He refuses to support raising the minimum wage. He believes wages are too high and he wants to provide hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks to the very richest families in America. That’s not an agenda that ‘makes America great.’ It’s just another Republican billionaire wanting to make the very rich richer at the expense of working families.”

1. and people imagine that Bernie can't handle himself with the the big boys

....just because he has been giving Hilary a free pass.

2. This is certainly getting interesting, and fast. Love it.

Bernie's goading The Donald to say things ON RECORD that will cost him votes, and
tRump is taking the bait.

Tell us more Donald how you want to create more poor people in America,

[grasswire]

7. Bernie knows that Trump will come undone if you push his buttons

And I look forward to the meltdown when the GE is Bernie v. Trump.

[99th_Monkey]

15. Just wow.

This is the quickly becoming the most interesting election season i can remember.. and i've
seen quite a few.

The longer this Bernie/Trump dust-up goes on, the more I wonder what must be going through
Hillary's mind, watching Bernie engage Trump on real issues, like wages, income
inequality, etc. and getting him on record as wanting to lower all "little people's" wages.

[Segami]

16. Going down in history as the all-time, two-time grand loser

would make anyone edgy.......keep Hillary away from the hedges...

[grasswire]

17. well, if Trump entered the race just for ego...

.....it sure is playing out well for the American people in THIS respect: he is the perfect foil for Bernie. The PERFECT FOIL.

Issues are being aired that rarely get any discussion.

[99th_Monkey]

19. Good point re Trump being a "perfect foil" for Bernie

Bill is rumored to have "encouraged" The Donald to even be in this race in the
first place, which I find exceedingly fascinating .. wonder if he's having any regrets
about now?

3. nervous?

Nervous? BS winning the Dem Nom is the only way Trump will win the full backing of RNC and Koch bros. The cash he'll have at his disposal will be unimaginable. The only thing that will fully unite the right is running against the far left

[Vinca]

5. Really? The GOP hates Hillary.

I think they despise her more than Obama.

[enid602]

10. BS

They hate her now as she is the front runnner, and they want BS to win. This would be manna for them. An unvetted socialist with no money.

[Vinca]

11. Have you been living under a rock? Benghazi ring a bell? Emails? Anything?

[SunSeeker]

12. Have you been living under a rock? Benghazi & emails blew up in the GOP's face. nt

[grasswire]

18. Republicans have jonesed to run against Hillary...

...for eight years plus. They WANT to have the opportunity to humiliate her further.

[Segami]

20. They keep forgetting...

..that way back in the 2008 primaries, the republican's 'Hillary oppo-research' was NEVER used. They had their files prepared, idling and ready to go but the primary election of Barack Obama put a major damper in their plans......NOBODY has seen the material they have on Hillary and Bill since it never made daylight in 2008.........buckle your seats, because if she is the Democratic nomination, we will lose this election!!

[enid602]

28. oppo-research?

,Ah, yes. . . the infamous 'Hillary oppo-research.' Sounds like another delusion straight from the Bernie Bunker.

[enid602]

21. BS

All vetted. Janegate, datagate? All red meat for the righties. If BS has to revert to taking money from DNC, PACS or corporations, they'll cry hypocrite. They'll kake shit up if they have to.

[The Golden One]

6. The Kochs wrote off 2016

When their man Walker couldn't even stick around.

[SunSeeker]

13. Nah, they're just re-saddling to a different GOP horse.

Not clear who it is yet. Looks light it might be Rubio.

[enid602]

23. bankroll

They're hoping its not Trump or Cruz, but they'll bankroll the winner, ultimately. Free markets, big government and all that.

[99th_Monkey]

27. There are some things wads of money simply cannot buy.

Elections did NOT used to be one of them. But thanks to how Citizens United has ironically
inspired Bernie to go directly to 2.3 + voters who are more than happy to fund his campaign,
elections may actually become people-powered and not corporate-owned.

[grossproffit]

4. Does Trump even know who Bernie is?

[daleanime]

8. ........

[ejbr]

14. +1 n/t

[stupidicus]

22. I'm not sure if "nervous" is accurate

pissed maybe

[Stevepol]

24. Go git 'im Bernie. Go!!

[Pharaoh]

25. It's actually brilliant strategy!

Trump is getting all the press, so just press his buttons and walla! You will be getting just as much attention to your agenda! Fucking brilliant!

[Kalidurga]

26. Bernie is already running against the Republicans

this is a great strategy even if he doesn't and we don't know for sure who they will nominate. Not only does it keep the nomination process cleaner in terms of the intra-party mudslinging it keeps us focused on the issues that are important to Democrats.
