Donald Trump basically said Bernie Sanders was right....

Donald:

"So JEB can brag all he wants about having 90 million dollars, because I've got 9 BILLION!"

Like Bernie said, it's all about the Billionaires.

What the democrats are ignoring is what else Trump said.

"I was invited by all my good friends on Wall Street to attend events for Hillary, Wall street LOVES Hillary, and Hillary LOVES them too."

This was from the 970.0 WFLA Tampa Bay radio show today with Sean Hannity! It was hilarious!

including republicans as his tongue would allow, except for Bernie?

Think about it. How tempting to point his short vulgarian finger at Bernie and yell "Socialist!" But he didn't and he won't.

IMO, Trump has a modicum of common sense not to invoke Bernie's attention as he (or someone he listens to) understands that Bernie has influence. Bernie is the one who will reveal that the Emperor Trump has no clothes. That could be a problem for the Trump "brand" whether politically or commercially. As a demagogue, Trump relies upon the "adoration" of John Q. Public and while part of him fervently believes that that will never change, he also will not take a true risk of losing it.
