Bernie Sanders Takes on Donald Trump Online



Sanders’ first tweet of the night came in direct response to Trump’s commenting during his Burlington rally that he would “love” to run against the progressive.

“Finally @realDonaldTrump and I agree on something. He and I both want to run against the other. Guess who wins?" Sanders tweeted back, including a link to a recent Quinnipiac poll that had Sanders winning handily in a general election matchup against Trump.

Sanders’ final tweet of the night, bookending attacks on Trump, included a graphic demonstrating that the same poll had Sanders, an independent running in the Democratic primary, doing better in a head-to-head race against Trump than former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. That final tweet had over 7,000 “likes” and 3,000 retweets.



He debuted a new riff last week about the New York real estate mogul, going out of his way to mention him when talking about climate change. Sanders brought up a line Trump tweeted back in 2012 when he siad climate was a hoax created by the Chinese. Sanders used the attack line again Thursday night.

that's one of the reasons why I picked it http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Goofy's_Freeway_Troubles a decade and a half or so as my nom de plume -- assuming masterhood of all that is stupid, and to serve as judge...

"stupid" has been the way so many of them have been declaring him unelectable even while he polls better against them than she does.

logic would seem to dictate that she then, would be even less electable, not more so.

But, we have to keep reminding them that they should "NEVER UNDERESTIMATE BERNIE SANDERS!" I think this phrase started quite some time ago. Actually a LONG time ago, when they said he could never be elected then. I think he won by 10 votes as Mayor, but a win is a win!
