Bernie criticized Trump today, basically calling him a liar and endorsing what Justice Ginsburg said.

While remarking Wednesday on ABC's "Good Morning America" that he would let Ginsburg herself speak to whether her recent criticism was inappropriate, Sanders added, "Let me very clear: I agree with what Justice Ginsburg said."

"I think that Trump is a total opportunist," Sanders said Wednesday. "I think I would—I do not believe anything that comes out of his mouth because I think the record is quite clear that he lies just a whole lot of the time and I think we need a president right now who is prepared to be consistent, to stand up for working families and to protect our children."

Justice Ginsburg called Trump a faker on Monday:

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's well-known candor was on display in her chambers late Monday, when she declined to retreat from her earlier criticism of Donald Trump and even elaborated on it.
"He is a faker," she said of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, going point by point, as if presenting a legal brief. "He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. ... How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that."

CNN

Elizabeth Warren’s turn next.

We can play “whack a Trump” all summer.

Update I: Weaver says Bernie will have a heavy schedule campaigning for Hillary and progressives running for down-ticket offices. From the Washington Post, Greg Sargent, The Plum Line:

SANDERS TO ‘STUMP HEAVILY’ FOR CLINTON: In a new interview, Bernie Sanders’s campaign manager Jeff Weaver previews a very heavy campaigning schedule for him:

“I think the senator’s intentions is to stump quite heavily for the secretary all across the country, obviously and specifically in the battleground states. In addition to that, he’ll be campaigning for down-ballot progressive Democrats in states all across the country — whether they are battlegrounds or not in battlegrounds. I think you are going to see a lot of Senator Sanders on the stump.”

Wait, so all of those people who told you that Sanders would destroy the Democratic Party before backing Clinton got it completely wrong?

We’re going to see a lot of Bernie this campaign season.

I'd buy that game

2. T-rump again was off the charts yesterday tho I barely hear a peep from our netural media?

Then an over sampling of GOPers in swing states from Q again. And I no longer respect MSNBC which was the last of the corporate media who at one point had some duty of journalism which I am not keen on any polling that they do. ABC is terrible and KNX radio here in Los Angeles sucks.

Glad to hear Dems are fighting back.

5. Go, Sen. Sanders! rec, nt.

6. Delighted to see more of Bernie!

He was an excellent negotiator, withholding his endorsement until the platform reflected some of his campaign's most important points.

Now, we will get to see this silver tiger go after Trump in a big way. He will clear the path for HRC and run interference for her. It is glorious to see so many Dems finding a voice! Looking forward to seeing and hear more from Elizabeth, especially.

Pass the popcorn!

7. Yay! Go Bernie! Democratic attack dog. Taking bites out of Trump's rump! . . . nt

8. Bernie handled it perfectly!

No apologies for ANYTHING said about Trump.
Play the casino game and keep doubling down!

10. Sweet music to my ears. Hey Donny Tinyhands -- two girlz and an old man are dissing you!

One of the greatest things about all of this is that NONE of them has gotten into the gutter with that pig, and none of them WILL. They just have to tell the truth about him.

[Motley13]

13. Tell the truth about him, in his own words!!!

[BainsBane]

11. I'm thrilled that Bernie is fully on board.

This is exactly the kind of unity the party needs.

12. The revolution is going to overthrow the Republican Congress. That's what revolutions do!

Game plan: 55 districts to flip in a Democratic wave election

15. Go Bernie !

16. ".......Sanders would destroy the Democratic Party BEFORE BACKING CLINTON....."

yup. Bernie has changed courses since he backed Clinton.

I am glad to see him make these efforts.
