Trump called Bernie a Communist.

Personally, I don't care what Trump says, and see no reason why his words should be cheered on here on a Democratic website. But the Bernie people here seem to think differently, celebrating every new attack from Trump against Hillary.

Just so you know, he's not on your side, Bernie people. He's pretending to be on your side because he wants your votes. And you're falling for it.

It just shows how much of a moron Trump is and gives a reason to educate his moronic base. TheBlackAdder May 2016 #11
Neither is Hillary. Trump is a fascist and Hillary wants to maintain the oligarchy. JRLeft May 2016 #13

in the US, he smoked pot, he did not attend the universities he said he did, the list goes on and on, yes he was vetted. It was Sarah Palin who was not vetted before she was selected as VP running mate.

I don't know anyone that thinks Trump is on my side no matter how many Hillary supporters try to conflate it.

Trump was not the first person to call Bernie a Communist.

Trump will certainly not be the last.

Who has ever said that Trump is on Bernie's side ???

It just helps to shift the country to the right as social programs lose more and more credibility.


Also, Communism, Socialism, Marxism are often used to denigrate the Democratic party--and allowing a Primary Candidate to be called that equates Communism to the Democrats. Now, this might be a short-term laugh, because Trump is doing attacks against SBS, but it also damages the Democratic Party to those who are Moderate Republicans withing to entertain a non-Trump option. Enjoy!
