1. I'm sure he's telling the truth, he always does.

[Laelth]

11. Precisely.

If his mouth is open, he's lying, and here he's lying once again.

-Laelth

[pandr32]

14. Exactly what I was going to say!

[MH1]

45. Yup, my first thought too. nt

[Dem2]

2. Oh, really?

So he's afraid of Bloomberg - got it.

[Laelth]

12. Yup.

The exact opposite of what he says is likely to be true.

-Laelth

[OliverQ]

33. Really? Because a couple days ago you all were saying

Trump wanted to go against Bernie. So does that mean he was afraid of Bernie 2 days ago?

[Laelth]

41. He's never been afraid of Bernie (although he should be).

Trump actively wants to run against Bernie. That's obvious. He's supporting Bernie by claiming that Democratic insiders are cheating Bernie out of the nomination. No, Trump wants Bernie to be the candidate because he wants to beat Bernie over the head with the "socialist" moniker. Trump wants Bernie to be our candidate, but Bernie will beat Trump just like any other Democratic candidate will in 2020. As I have said before, Daffy Duck would beat Trump in 2020. Daffy knows what the American people know, and it's a message that the American people are prepared to deliver to the Great Pumpkin later this year:

46. Is stumpy capable of reverse psychology?

Reverse psychology is a technique involving the assertion of a belief or behavior that is opposite to the one desired, with the expectation that this approach will encourage the subject of the persuasion to do what actually is desired

Nah...

[Laelth]

48. I doubt it, but who knows?

-Laelth

[krissey]

3. We didn't see it in Iowa. Lets see about NH.

[zackymilly]

4. He's a lying dog-faced pony soldier. He's scared of Bloomberg. nt

[Laelth]

13. And he should be. n/t

-Laelth

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

5. Of course he says that

He will crush Sander's

[John Fante]

8. Trump isn't crushing anyone.

His only hope is another electoral college squeaker.

[Laelth]

16. Hear! Hear!

Daffy Duck could beat Trump in November 2020. Daffy knows what the American people know, and it's a message that the American people are prepared to deliver to the Great Pumpkin later this year:



-Laelth

[Demsrule86]

25. He will crush Sanders...

[John Fante]

53. What states that Trump lost in 2016 is he going to

pick up in 2020?

[dchill]

54. That is definably and demonstrably true.

[OliverQ]

34. 2 days ago it was claimed Trump wanted to face Bernie and he wasn't scared.

Now he's saying he doesn't. You're saying completely opposite things.

You can't have it both ways.

[33taw]

6. Sure.

[PatSeg]

7. Yeah right

He thinks Democrats are as dumb as his base.

[Happyhippychick]

15. Good one

[dalton99a]

21. +1

[George II]

9. In other words he'd love to run against Sanders.

[OliverQ]

36. But he said 2 days ago he was scared of Bernie.

He also said that at dinner with Lev Parnas.

So according to your logic, he doesn't want to go against Bernie.

[John Fante]

10. Bloomberg doesn't pull punches when it comes to Trump.

He goes low... and I like it.

[Kingofalldems]

17. Not gonna work but good try.

[calguy]

18. Republicans love Bernie Sanders

They'd love to run against him. He's their dream candidate.

[BlueIdaho]

19. Suuuuure He Would... 😉 nt.

[scipan]

20. Not gonna start believing him now but

Saying Bloomberg's support is soft while Bernie's is hard, is correct IMHO.

[Demsrule86]

22. Sure that is why he is telling folks to vote for Sanders in Carolina because he wants to face the

toughest challenger...and running ads already against Bloomberg.

[ibegurpard]

23. I give zero credence

to anything any Republicans say about who they want to run against. Even if they're acting in good faith ( I know) they're often wrong.

[book_worm]

24. He wants Bernie

[guillaumeb]

26. How many Trump lies so far into his term?

Over 16,000?

[Ferrets are Cool]

27. Since everything he says is a lie....

Guess I will vote for Mike.

[Dream Girl]

28. Triple reverse-reverse psychology.

[grossproffit]

29. Reverse psychology works on some people.

[LuvNewcastle]

30. Please don't throw me in that brier patch.

[Baked Potato]

31. Exactly opposite!

Fuckin’ Treason Weasel

[Joinfortmill]

32. He's lying

[Uncle Joe]

35. That's how a pathological liar can yank peoples' chains,

all they have to do is tell the truth if only once, knowing no one will believe them.

If one were guided by common sense or logic then one would know Trump is actually speaking the truth in this case, Bernie has a strong army of committed followers, Bloomberg has 60 billion dollars while those monies can be used to buy, rent or persuade followers, it's just not the same as a following based on the message (s) and long time authenticity.

Thanks for the thread OliverQ.

[mcar]

37. Sure

[denem]

38. Obligatory David Bowie video

[Kingofalldems]

39. 0 recs.

Glad people can see through this.

[OliverQ]

43. There is nothing to see through here.

It's an article.

[Kingofalldems]

44. Interesting rec.

[Squinch]

40. Proof that he wants BS.

[OliverQ]

42. No it's not, because a few days ago he said the opposite

as have his GOP allies. They said he'd love to run against Bernie.

So which time is a lie?

[Kaleva]

51. Actually, it was Jim Messina, who managed former President Barack Obama's 2012 reelection bid,

who said that.

"Jim Messina, who managed former President Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection bid, said in a recent Politico interview that Trump would love to run against Sanders, noting that Republicans have already signaled they plan to hammer the socialism angle in the fall campaign."

[Squinch]

55. The one he had Cambridge Analytica helping is a hint.

[Horizens]

47. Like trump

bernie has a cult following bit not the size of trumps.

[Cha]

49. 45Impeached is a Real Lying Sack of Shite.

[UniteFightBack]

50. That's the truth he has 'followers'....but Bloomberg I mean the nominee will have NUMBERS....in

every sense of the word.

[blueinredohio]

52. I call bullshit he wants to run against Bernie so he can say how bad socialism is.

He knows s lot of people are afraid of socialism.

[OliverQ]

57. But he's said the opposite a few days ago.

So is he lying when he says he wants to face Bernie?

[blueinredohio]

58. Hell yes he's lying.

[Kaleva]

60. It was Jim Messina, manager of Obama's 2012 reelection bid who said that

"Jim Messina, who managed former President Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection bid, said in a recent Politico interview that Trump would love to run against Sanders, noting that Republicans have already signaled they plan to hammer the socialism angle in the fall campaign."

[gldstwmn]

56. People would vote for a

paper bag over you Donny.

[cwydro]

59. I don't believe that for a second.

He’s terrified of Bloomberg.

[mahina]

61. Then I'm sure the opposite is true.

[Cha]
