Sanders Shreds Trump

Sanders Shreds Trump:

Bernie Sanders called Donald Trump and his birtherism a disgrace during an interview on CBS This Morning. Sanders strongly condemned the birther mythology and ugliness surrounding President Obama.

CBS This Morning released a clip of Sen. Sanders discussing during a commercial break Trump’s encouragement of lies about Obama.

Sen. Sanders said, “I think it’s a disgrace. To again question whether or not the President Of The United States was born in this country. Whether he’s a Christian. I thought we were beyond that. It’s an outrage.”

Sanders added, “To continue this mythology and the ugliness that suggests that the President Of The United States and we all remember Trump was one of the leaders of this effort a year ago. I thought maybe he had learned something from that. This is not what American politics should be about. Let’s debate real issues.”

1. It's also a disgrace that the guy was talking about how Muslims are the problem in the country

and when are we going to get them out. And Trump basically went along with it. Kind of terrifying actually.

News media only wants to focus on the personal "insult" to the president but this other thing was more significant.


"We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims," an unidentified man who spoke at a question-and-answer town hall event in Rochester, New Hampshire asked the mogul at a rally Thursday night. "You know our current president is one. You know he's not even an American."

A seemingly bewildered Trump interrupted the man, chuckling, "We need this question. This is the first question."

"Anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us," the man, wearing a "Trump" T-shirt, continued. "That's my question: When can we get rid of them?"

"We're going to be looking at a lot of different things," Trump replied. "You know, a lot of people are saying that and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening. We're going to be looking at that and many other things."

Am I right?

The fucking media created fucking idiot Trump. Before they let go of that debate ad cash cow they will need to substitute another cow......the unqualified GOP token female seems to fit the bill for now.

But.....HOW many more of these TV torture tests, aka "debates" - just using the word for these spectacles makes me want to vomit - do Americans have to go through again?

15 MORE??
