Washington (CNN)Donald Trump said Wednesday that he may have to start focusing his attention on "Crazy Bernie" Sanders because the Vermont senator keeps beating Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in primary contests.

Sanders, who has racked up 19 wins over Clinton, most recently topped her in West Virginia on Tuesday night. Clinton is still on track to be the nominee, however, because of her current lead in pledged and unpledged delegates.

"He wins, wins, wins and then everyone sits around a table and says he can't win," Trump said on "Fox and Friends."
Earlier, Trump unveiled a new nickname for Sanders, referring to him as "Crazy Bernie" in a pair of tweets.
"Big wins in West Virginia and Nebraska. Get ready for November - Crooked Hillary, who is looking very bad against Crazy Bernie, will lose," he tweeted.


rump repeated the new nickname on "Fox and Friends," saying, "I call him 'Crazy Bernie' because he's not very good, but probably beating him would be easier" than defeating Clinton.
"Who's going to run against the socialist and lose?" he said.

1. Thanks Bernie for staying in when you can't win

Such a gift for Trump.

[merrily]

7. As a donor, I want Sanders to stay in. As for Trump, I guess you'd rather keep him focused on

Hill and Bill?

Anything to complain about Bernie!

11. Let's do a Sanders Trump debate, like this month, no Hillary.

Wouldn't that be great?

I don't think DWS could do a damn thing about it and Bernie would mop the floor with Donald.

[merrily]

12. Remind me why Bernie or Trump would agree?

[Luminous Animal]

14. Bernie might. From the beginning of the campaign, he wanted debates with Reps as well as Dems.

[merrily]

17. I guess I don't recall that. But he may not want them at this point.

At that point, he needed ways to gain name recognition and make his agenda known. He does not need those things now.

16. You should welcome trumpy's attention going to Bernie instead of Hillary.

18. Hunh?

[TheBlackAdder]

19. The duplicity with some is astonishing. Let SBS take some flak HRC would get.

.


Now, to say SBS is a benefit to Trump just shows a challenge to reality in so many ways.


Which is it? SBS doesn't have a chance, you don't want SBS to get attention, or SBS is a GOP operative?

3. He's also said things have been rigged against Bernie.

[JohnnyLib2]

4. Limbaugh beat him to it.

By months. Not a good thing.

5. The press will only cover donald. It doesn't matter who donald bashes

whether it's fellow republicans, Hillary or Bernie. Whatever he says he will get scores of microphones blasting every word on all the airwaves.

That is how he is going to win. They are handing it to him on a silver platter.

8. Crazy uncle Bernie

He does use that word in his speeches.

Free health care, crazy idea.
Free college, crazy idea

[Punkingal]

9. Yeah, Donald, you would lose to a SOCIAL DEMOCRAT.

He can attack Bernie all he wants....it won't work, Bernie will just get stronger.
