Trump’s big economic plans: Give trillions in tax breaks to millionaires, refuse to raise the federal minimum wage. #RNCwithBernie

What a hypocrite! If Trump wants to "fix" trade he can start by making his products in the US, not low-wage countries abroad. #RNCwithBernie

Still waiting for a single word about covering the 28 million Americans without health insurance. I guess they don’t matter much to Trump.

Tim Kaine's, for example.

And Liz Warren too, though she was getting ready to do late night.

Yes, the night truly belonged to Bernie.
