Bernie Sanders: Donald Trump Is a National Embarrassment

[ghostsinthemachine]

In an interview with the New York Times published on Monday, Bernie Sanders offered his views on the always entertaining presidential campaign of Donald Trump. And he didn't mince words. When asked what he thought of the Republican front-runner's continued surge in the polls, Sanders responded, "Not much," and hit back at Trump's racist rhetoric.

"I think Donald Trump's views on immigration and his slurring of the Latino community is not something that should be going on in the year 2015," Sanders said. "And it's to me an embarrassment for our country."

Sanders' comments come on the heels of several recent op-ed's attempting to draw similarities between Trump's and Sanders' policy proposals, specifically on immigration. Judging from Sanders' latest remarks, however, we're guessing the Vermont senator isn't exactly thrilled to be compared with the inflammatory real estate mogul.

1. It's Been Trump's MO To Hit Back At Those That Criticize Him....

Hold on to your hat Bernie. He'll probably be coming back at you even though you got him pegged.

I feel more embarrassed than angry.

3. Good for Bernie!

Comparing Sanders and Trump was always just one of several ways media, pundits and politicians were using--and will still use--to put down Sanders.

Yes, they both say what's on their mind. So does a person who claims to be Jesus Christ. The difference is, Bernie is sane and on the right side of history. Trump and the unfortunate mentally ill person claiming to be Jesus are not.
