Donald Trump has warned about the ideology of his fellow presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, saying the Vermont senator is an admitted socialist. Some people think hes even worse than that. Hes the next step.
In an interview with the Guardian on the eve of the first Democratic presidential debate, Trump said Sanders beliefs were a short road to failure for this country.
Despite Sanders leading polls in Iowa and New Hampshire as he is on the Republican side of the race for the White House, Trump said he didnt think the Vermont senator had staying power because if youre a socialist running for office in this country, I dont see it happening.
Sanders drew attention in an interview on NBCs Meet the Press on Sunday when he was asked: Are you a capitalist?
No, Sanders replied. I am a democratic socialist.

It's just political talk, they both know it. It's pretty cozy, wink wink, nudge nudge in private

it's just a cover for how much he loves and supports her.

What a ridiculous observation.

Literally no one thinks he can win. His support has peaked. He's beyond pathetic.

For The Donald, yes. For the 99%, not so much.
Oh, and Donald, Bernie is a DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST. I just love how all the right wingers call him a "socialist" when he's not. Scared, are we?
