To paraphrase, "Trump supporters are losers whose lives suck."

Latinos and Muslims because he agreed with what Trump said about other black people.

In fact, he's said worse.

It looks like the networks have been given the word to go after Trump. Even in the 60's athletes who were media commentators rarely spoke out about the Vietnam War on air. I think it's a good thing that Trump's actions are being questioned but it looks to me like the media coverage of the election is being manipulated. Given how little air time Sanders has received (one minute on ABC compared to Trump's 80 minutes) it's easy to see what the strategy is- Keep the public focused on the outrageous Trump while candidates who are actually debating the issues are pushed to the back. We'll see if Trump drops in the Republican polls and the former right wing candidates reappear with a new branding by the media as the "moderate and sane voices".

so frankly, I don't know if this interview was a comedic romp or not. BUT - at face value - this rube's pulling for Kasick? And he thinks wage inequity is the country's primary dysfunction??? Gah! I guess I've just not grasped the breadth of Sander's invisibility!

Of course, if this is strictly for laughs - OK then - Ha-ha. Lookit the lame-brain playin' court jester. A guy who's gotten filthy rich by throwing a ball thru a net. I'm sure glad he's weighed in on wealth disparity.
