GRATITUDE: Trump Thanks Bernie for Ripping Hillary’s Character

[baldguy]

WaPo:

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Thursday offered rare words of praise for one of his Democratic rivals: Sen. Bernie Sanders, who Trump said should keep attacking front-runner Hillary Clinton. “He’s been tough on her. In fact, I’d like him to keep going because the longer he goes the more I’m going to like it,” Trump told thousands of supporters during a campaign rally here in Harrisburg.

Here’s the money quote:

Trump lauded Sanders for keeping pressure on Clinton and particularly singled out Sanders’s comments attacking Clinton’s judgment. He also credited Sanders with being the first to question Clinton’s qualifications for office. “So Bernie Sanders, not me, said she is not qualified. So now I’m going to say, ‘She’s not qualified.’ OK?” Trump said.

Trump and Sanders tag-teaming Clinton - I'm sure it'll be spun by the Berniestas to mean that Sanders is the "real Democrat".

I could go on, but you get the point.

2. This is No PLACE for truth.

Its Spin Spin Spin.
Hillary = Mother Theresa
Bernie = Not Mother Theresa (Even though he is more christian than Shillary)

[pdsimdars]

16. You forgot the 3rd premise

(1) Hillary = Mother Theresa
(2) Bernie = Not
(3) any denial of these facts is "sexism"

[Sheepshank]

31. you should put up or shut up

Bernie has been deified here over and over, I have NEVER seen anything of the sort projected at Hillary. How about you offer some proof of your statement?

stupid lies and statements, deserve to be called out.

[vintx]

13. LOL and of course OP has no answer for this.

How does anyone support her. They might as well just switch to R and let us continue trying to elect people from the "democratic wing of the democratic party" (thank you Paul Wellstone)

[speaktruthtopower]

3. Bernie has been pretty responsible, IMO

[Squinch]

4. Yup. Trump loves him some Sanders. And why wouldn't he? They have a lot in common.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. Do you believe that affinity is applicable to his supporters as well?

Thank you in advance.

[Sky Masterson]

6. No they don't

Trump has zero stances on anything. He panders worse than Hillary.
Bernie has evidence of his positions well documented and found as easily as Hillary's Pre/pro Iraq invasion speech, and her 12 year old rape case.

[GreatGazoo]

7. Have you heard what Trump said about Hillary? 0:54 here:

[uponit7771]

18. +1

[salinsky]

28. Theyve both built their campaigns on white angst ... nt

[Squinch]

36. Bingo!!

[Scurrilous]

8. K & R

[Broward]

9. Bernie told the truth. Perhaps, you should've supported Bernie

rather than a terribly flawed candidate.

[Armstead]

10. Yes Trump and the GOP would never say anything bad about Clinton otherwise

[aikoaiko]

11. HRC's character is terribly inconvenient. You have my sympathies.

[Orsino]

12. It's like they're ruins or something.

Oh, and Karl Rove controls both of them.

[LexVegas]

14. Trump and Sanders appeal to the same core demographic. nt

[uponit7771]

19. +1, but somehow Sanders is the standard for progressiveness...

[karynnj]

22. Absolute nonsense

It is just as fair to condemn Clinton, because apparently the Koch brothers seem to be leaning towards her.

The main thing YOU likely see is that BOTH oppose Hillary Clinton. The fact is that Trump socialized with the Clintons - They went to his wedding. I don't believe they sent Bernie and Jane an invitation!

It is true that you can find some people saying - either Bernie or Trump ... but there are also people saying that they want Trump or Hillary! Not to mention... there are the Koch brothers, actually leaning to Hillary.

[pdsimdars]

15. You decide.

"Democrat" or "Republican" aren't the names of different high school cliques. They are supposed to STAND for something, for certain ideas and policies.

The closer you stand with those POLICIES, the closer you are to being a TRUE DEMOCRAT!

[riderinthestorm]

17. Of course Trump would never have thought of any of that himself. ..

Only Bernie showed Trump the way.

[Skwmom]

24. Trump called her incompetent long ago.

[Matariki]

20. I strongly suspect

That Trump is one of those paid Clinton trolls people have been talking about, lol.

[jillan]

21. Awwww - Hillary supporters don't think Donald's attacks are going to be worse than anything Bernie

has said?

Isn't that precious.

[Sheepshank]

32. no...it's just distasteful when a supposed Dem provides the ammo to Trump

No one is under any denial that Trump and the GOP will resurrect every talking point they have been throwing at Hillary for 25 years. I just despise that we as Dems are ok, with supplying the Republicans with the ammo.

[jillan]

33. As if he doesn't already have ammo all line up?

[Sheepshank]

34. and "whooooshhhhh"

some people are just hopelessly blinded by Bernie adoration and Hillary hate they cannot thinks straight.

[Skwmom]

23. Sometimes it seems like the Clinton and Trump team are working in tangent. Well, really quite a bit

of the time if you look at what Trump has said during the primary process.

[baldguy]

26. Show where Trump and Clinton are saying the exact same thing.

Or where one is thanking the other.

Meanwhile, Karl Rove's signature is still wet on the talking points the Sanders camp is using.

[dmosh42]

25. At least Hillary has the Koch brothers on her side!

[baldguy]

27. If there's any more evidence needed that the Sanders folks are being played,

the Koch "endorsement" is it.

29. If her judgment weren't so bad, she wouldn't need to worry about her bad judgment being pointed out.

Trump will use her many weaknesses against her, of course, and he will also tell lies about her. But seriously, there is no way Trump can beat Clinton in the GE. So I am not worried.

[carburyme]

35. We arent moaners!

I say Bring it on!!!

I am so ready for the GE to begin so we can take Bernie out of the equation...

[Teamster Jeff]

37. I suggest you stop listening to Trump if you are that easily played
