"SNIP......

“President Trump’s reelection campaign is beginning to aggressively attack a rising threat to his power: Bernie Sanders,” BuzzFeed News reports.

“The Trump campaign put out two statements centered on Sanders this week and the Vermont senator was at the top of the list of people the president attacked at his first rally of the year in Toledo, Ohio on Thursday night.”

It's because Trump thinks Biden and Sanders are the two potential rivals who can appeal to some of Trump's working class supporters, in the critical mid-west in particular. With Sanders hanging in there and not fading from real contention, Trump will likely start attacking him more, to go along with his constant attacks on Biden.

apocalyptic terms and yells. But he would lose the middle even though Bernie's apocalypse is mostly based on facts and Trumps is made up.

And it will intensify as Sanders gets closer and closer to winning the nomination.....until he DOES!

But if you think Biden is somehow immune to Trump's BS the article ended with:

He issued a lengthy tirade on the former vice president's son, Hunter Biden. “I’ll tell you — I sort of hope it’s Joe,” he said. “Because he will hear ‘Where is Hunter?’ every single debate, nine times a debate.”

And I believe this is one instance where Trump is telling the truth.
