Trump begins outreach to Bernie supporters ...

... does he convince you?

Touting his Tuesday night victories, Donald Trump unveiled a new moniker for yet another political adversary: “Crazy Bernie.”

“Big wins in West Virginia and Nebraska,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee tweeted Wednesday morning. “Get ready for November - Crooked Hillary, who is looking very bad against Crazy Bernie, will lose!”

Minutes later, Trump gave the Vermont senator, who won West Virginia on Tuesday, a backhanded compliment.

“I don't want to hit Crazy Bernie Sanders too hard yet because I love watching what he is doing to Crooked Hillary,” Trump wrote. “His time will come!”


“I think a lot of the young people that are with Bernie Sanders are going to come to my side because they want jobs. Bernie Sanders and I agree on one thing, trade, that we don’t know what we’re doing on trade,” Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “The difference is, I’ll make great deals out of it. He doesn’t know what to do. The people that are with Bernie Sanders, the young people, I really believe they’re going to come over and vote for me. I think we’re going to have a lot of crossover.”

They are just more out in the open about it since Trump clinched the nomination.

Baggers love Bernie. Be proud Sanders fans!

Too bad Rand Paul isn't still in it, you got so much mileage out of calling the left 'Paulites'.

questioning offshoring, he'll get a lot of blue collar Democrats, but he'll also take a lot of flak from Wall Street, the NYT etc.

I know some older 50+ Bernie supporters that might, but all the young Bernie supporters hate Trump with a passion.
