I Will Congratulate Bernie When He Makes His Speech Eviscerating Trump.

[msanthrope]

Just let me know when it's on....

[hrmjustin]

1. He could never pull that kind of a speech off.

[Eric J in MN]

27. Bernie Sanders speaks out against Trump in his stump speech.

Sanders didn't say he was going to make a speech exclusively about Trump, as far as I know.

Anyway, here are a few minutes about Trump from Sanders' stump speech:

[mac56]

2. Probably on the same day that Hillary releases her speech transcripts.

Just let me know when they're out....

[MariaThinks]

5. its sad you think those are somehow equivalent.

So Bernie can only be an effective Democratic candidate IF Hillary gives him something.

[mac56]

6. It's sad what you've decided is more important than coming clean about who is owed a debt.

[Maru Kitteh]

20. Didn't Weaver say we should be expecting his tax returns? They're a Federal requirement you know.

A person is required by law to file taxes. Not so much with transcripts. Disclosure of one has been a standard for decades, the other, nobody really cares so much about. You can tell by the longstanding lack-of-give-a-crap that's been pretty much everywhere with the exception of a few die-hards.

Now, didn't Weaver promise the returns a couple days ago?

[mac56]

24. Disclosure of tax returns is not required of a Presidential candidate.

It's been done as an informal thing, but not required. So don't do the high-horse thing with me.

1992: "Controversy erupted when Mr. Clinton refused to release tax returns prior to 1980.

In an interview with the Washington Post, Hillary Clinton said, "We just feel we have gone the extra mile. Talk about accountability. We feel we have been more accountable than most people who have been in this position, and we feel very comfortable about it.""

He finally did after relentless pressure from the press.

35. Yes, it's not required. It's done to show honesty and tranparency

[mac56]

36. Like the Clintons had to be chided into in '92?

[lunamagica]

39. But Sanders is Mr integrity, like no other politician cadidate before him

[mac56]

41. You must be great at dodgeball.

[NCTraveler]

3. Made me laugh. Well done.

[MariaThinks]

4. kick

7. Here are a few quotes from Bernie last month here in Oregon:

"“Our message to the Democratic delegates who will be assembling in Philadelphia is while we may have many disagreements with Secretary Clinton, there is one area where we agree, and that is we must defeat Donald Trump,” Sanders said.
“Donald Trump is not going to become president for a number of reasons. And the major reason is that we cannot have a president who has insulted Latinos and Mexicans, who has insulted Muslims, who every day is insulting women in one way or another, who has insulted veterans like John McCain and others, who has insulted African-Americans in a very profound way…. Mr. Trump will not become president because the American people understand that our strength is in our diversity.”


Bernie has been attacking Trump all along. He even stated a willingness to debate him live, which most Hillary supporters did not exactly support. They want him to go after Trump, but quietly and in a way that draws no attention to Bernie....if they really just wanted Trump trounced, they'd join me in eagerly supporting anyone who castigates Donald. Some of us have been doing that since the 1980's.

[aikoaiko]

8. +1 Bernie was ready to go head to head with Trump.

[Bluenorthwest]

10. And has been slamming him all along. The OP does not let facts get in the way of characterization

and narrative and those are good instincts for Hollywood but not for government.

[msanthrope]

12. Actually, just waiting for Sanders to go after the oligarch, Trump, loudly and forcefully.

A few lines in the stump speech is great.. but Bernie can do better.

[bettyellen]

44. He didn't earn the right to do that.

[msanthrope]

11. Actually. ....I'd love it if Bernie noisily went after Trump and encouraged his

supporters to address their ire towards him.

Haven't seen but a few throwaway lines in the stump speech.

[JonLeibowitz]

33. He is in a primary contest now, so he is running against Clinton.

[msanthrope]

40. The war is over. Bernie lost. nt

[JonLeibowitz]

43. Your opinion. Others may differ.

[frylock]

9. He eviscerates Trump every day

He would have eviscerated Trump in that debate that Hillary Supporter got all wadded over. Maybe try paying closer attention.

[JackRiddler]

13. No you will not, because it doesn't matter to you what he says.

He has been "eviscerating Trump" for the entirety of his campaign, so your statement is based on a patently false assumption that I expect, given your established patterns here, is taken more in malice than in error.

[Todays_Illusion]

14. He has. Just because it isn't reported with the wall to wall coverage Hillary gets does not

mean Sanders isn't attacking and there is the obvious. Sanders challenging him to a debate.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

37. Challenging him to a debate is building him up, not tearing him down.

I suspect that Sanders challenged Trump mainly because sharing a platform with someone with whom he agrees on the issue most important to him - Hillary Clinton - would let them launch a two-fold attack on her, while both bolstering their own images.

[Todays_Illusion]

38. OP is claiming Sanders has not attacked Trump, I provided links that he does. That is a topic move.

[MoonRiver]

15. Exactly, but I doubt it will happen.

Rump is doing Bernie's job for him, so why should BS attack? Ethics? Naaaaa

[Sivart]

16. Did you congratulate Romney?

Romney gave pretty much the same speech, and it had absolutely ZERO effect in stopping Trump.

But, yeah, her speech was totally different.....

I don't know about you, but I have been watching all of this the past several months. Attacking Trump like this has been going on since the Republican Primary started. Everyone has tried it. Seriously, everyone. Every candidate, every pundit, etc. Everyone has been attacking Trump like this. It has had no effect.

So, what is different about this?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. Hillary was speaking to the American electorate

Hillary was speaking to the American electorate

Hillary was speaking to the American electorate. Drumpf was speaking to the Repuke electorate. The former is infinitely broader.

[Sivart]

19. Ok, I'll be more specific....

What was different about the content of the speech.....what she was saying......the points she was making......?

The only difference you have pointed out is the intended audience. Completely irrelevant to the content of my post.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. Here is your whole post in its entirety

Here is your whole post in its entirety:

The only logical inference one can make is that you are arguing that all have attacked Trump and all have failed. I correctly noted this time is different because the audience is different.

[Sivart]

22. So, it sounds like we agree...

These are the same attacks against that have been tried by every republican candidate, half of the media, etc. over and over.

That is the point I was trying to make. That these attacks have already been tried.

I mean, we all get it....being president is not the same as being on the apprentice.....Every one of his opponents, and half of the people on TV have mentioned this to freakin death.

Does anyone think that they are the same? Being president and being on the apprentice? No, we all know they are not the same.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. The audience is different.

[Sivart]

32. But is it?

Ok, the people at the speech.....that may be a different audience.....but once it hits the news and the internet, I don't think you can say its a different audience.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. ...

[mac56]

25. I will congratulate Hillary when she agrees to debate Bernie before the California primary.

Oh, wait...

[LuvLoogie]

28. She did debate Bernie before the California primary. Nine times.

[mac56]

30. One on one.

[Eric J in MN]

26. Video of Bernie Sanders goofing on Donald Trump in Oakland recently.

Bernie Sanders goofing on Donald Trump over drought and climate change for three minutes:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

29. He just did.

"I agree with Secretary Clinton that Donald Trump's foreign policy ideas are incredibly reckless and irresponsible," he said in his statement. "But when it comes to foreign policy, we cannot forget that Secretary Clinton voted for the war in Iraq, the worst foreign policy blunder in modern American history, and that she has been a proponent of regime change, as in Libya, without thinking through the consequences."

[msanthrope]

42. Sour grapes from Bernie.....Trump rope-a-doped him on the debate.....she KO'ed Trump. nt

[CanadaexPat]

31. I will congratulate Hillary when she makes a speech

successfully eviscerating Trump. Romney lite won't cut it.

[Peacetrain]

34. You have heart burn.. here a little antacid will help

She did great!!!!
