Trump seeks to tie Biden to Sanders

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Wednesday sought to tie former Vice President Joe Biden to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), attacking the plan developed by their unity task force and falsely claiming it includes "Open Borders."

"Has anybody seen or reviewed the written 'pact' between Bernie Sanders & Sleepy Joe. It is further left than even Bernie had in mind," Trump tweeted Wednesday morning. "Open Borders, crime, really bad to cops and military - The guaranteed destruction of America. Joe never told us this. Never been so CLEAR!!!"

Sanders, a former 2020 presidential candidate and self-described democratic socialist, has come under attack by the president and his allies as the "radical left" since Trump took office in 2016.

Trump has increasingly sought to portray the former vice president as in thrall to the Democratic Party's left wing, telling Fox News's Sean Hannity last week that Biden has "been taken over by the radical left."

Trump is the guaranteed destruction.

I sure hope there are no debates. You can't debate a nut job like Trump.

Trump would lose his mind if Joe just laughed at him throughout the debate. That's really the only way to respond to the sort of whoppers Dolt 45 comes out with, mocking laughter and head-shaking before responding with the truth.

Graham has all ready started to mix the two. He hasn't really started
to show many ads but they are trying to mix the two. Graham has also started
to break with Trump on a few issues just in time to start his run against Harrison.
I like Harrison's ads, both shows what Graham hasn't done except attack Harrison then
then presents a positive side of himself which is nice. Hope Harrison gets in the senate, it
is going to be an up hill battle. 538 is showing a neck in neck race, 42 to 42 as the end of
May.

All the young people I know loved Bernie.

I still see t-shirts worn by young black kids that say "Bernie".

May help us turn out the vote for Biden among young voters.

plan usage of his fake wide open Borders from the get go? Believe he moved tons of Border personnel as well as National Guardsman to the Mexico Border as pawns in his reelection bid.

And with the exception of a NBC Reporter,the media bailed,sad to say,very few speak Spanish anyway,so they never had a clue,only did stand up photo ops for the Boss. To Hot,to dirty,get my Chino's wrinkled.

This effort is remarkably pathetic. Needless to say, it is promoted and amplified by The Hill, a Trump campaign organ.

Why are they calling out one of his false claims in the article? I didn't even read the whole thing, but in the very first paragraph that brooklynite included, it plainly says "falsely claimed." Very strange behavior for a Trump campaign organ.

Only two things were mentioned. So much for "further left than even Bernie had in mind."

One was that Bernie's influence on the task force got Biden to change the timeline for clean energy and the other was truly bizarre. The interviewer said, "You did get him to commit to a government run public option." Then she asked if this was enough for his supporters to back Biden.

Was I just imagining that Obama ran on the ACA with a public option in 2008 and Hillary ran on the ACA with a public option in 2016 and this year Biden is running on the ACA with a public option? But Bernie got Biden to commit to a public option? Well, I guess that's politics, but...
