Trump credits Sanders for attacks on Clinton



Donald Trump is giving Bernie Sanders credit for helping him come up with lines of attack on Hillary Clinton.

Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, on Friday said Sanders has come up with some strong attacks on
WATCH: Trump says Sanders has given him "a lot of my best lines" about Hillary Clinton.

Clinton. “Hillary is a disaster, folks,” Trump said at a rally in Fresno, Calif.

“She has bad judgment, that was said by Bernie Sanders. He’s given me a lot of my best lines. I mean, he has given me such great lines on her.”

Trump added that he uses Sanders’s attacks against Clinton because critics accuse him of being “not nice” when he comes up with his own.

Clinton has a big lead on Sanders in the Democratic presidential race, but Sanders has insisted he won’t leave the race until the Democratic National Convention this summer.

Sounds like Trump has found his soulmate in Sanders. They'd made a Great Team.

perhaps sticking up for Trump is not your best retort, yeah?

It's expected that Sanders followers will defend him without pause, in the fiction that he is so perfect that he can do no wrong, but you took a different road, gleeful that Trump is using Sanders as his minion to create dissension. It's an inexplicable stance for any Democrat.

This is Trump being Trump. If Bernie had dropped out, he'd modify his insults, but the insults would still be there. Trump doesn't need Bernie to insult Hillary.

Trump is no economic liberal, despite a few lukewarm statements on raising taxes on rich. I doubt he'll fool many liberals.

Polls show that he can beat Hill. Plus, he likes her personally. Greedy, selfish elitists share basic values.

So many reasons to undermine the candidacy of Bernie Sanders...

Let's surprise ol' Donny and nominate the only candidate who can beat him!

to attack an opponent if Bernie had not set such a bad example for him.

Two losers, both alike in ignominy, in fair California where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new banality,
Where uncivil spew makes uncivil lips unclean.
From forth the mouths of these two foes,
A mound of moronic meanderings doth emerge
;
Whose misadventured piteous bleatings,
Do with their shame, bury their supporters' strife,
Which, but their defeat, naught can efface.

There's Clinton & the Democrats on one side - then there's Trump & Sanders & their supporters on the other side.
