Bernie needs to attack Trump... hard

Expose him as the 1%er, rich person who just wants power that he will share only with his rich friends and as someone who favors an unstable foreign policy.

He has H beaten so ignore her and go after Trump full blast.

Bernie says he can beat Trump, well, Bernie, start beating him. Show the independents who will not vote for Trump, the Real Bern.

He has shown he can beat H. Now it's Trump's turn.

Bernie was real nice to H. He doesn't have to be nice to Trump.

People want a winner. They want someone who can beat Trump. Bernie needs to show he is willing and able. He does that and he wins the nomination, hands down.

"Bernie Sanders Knocks Donald Trump's Scapegoating Strategy":


"Bernie Sanders critiqued Donald Trump for saying that American wages are too high. Trump alleged that he never said such a thing, but in this video we show you the video of Trump explicitly discussing how American wages are too high. Additionally, Donald Trump was forced to change his position because of Bernie Sanders' criticism.":

If she is going to be all presumptive nominee and stuff (yeah, right, she is not going to think like that), then why should Bernie do her work for her? He already attacks Trump. Not hard to do at all. but Bernie needs to beat Hillary in the remaining primaries - plenty of time to go after Trump. Trump may shoot himself in the foot anyway.

The primary isn't over and the liberal states are getting ready to vote. He needs to
keep his eyes on the prize and get nominated before going after Trump.

What Bernie needs to do now is convince the H camp to accept him at the convention because he's got Trump's number and can beat him in November.

He has already been saying that as a way to get the supers to change their minds and vote for him.

Too, he goes after Trump the right way and the media will take notice and give Bernie lots of free press. Even now the press treats him as third class candidate. Trump has got all the media attention and Bernie needs to grab lots of that and he can do that by smashing Trump.

President. No one will elect a man that insults women, the disabled, veterans, blacks, latinos and every other minority.

He then goes into discussing the polls and how he outperforms her in match-ups.

Maybe he can add a few more zingers, but this is a pretty good start, imo.

Bernie knows what he's doing. He just needs more media attention and the best way to do that is hit Trump really hard.

Exposing the facts that Trump is a 1%er and he is in bed with the banksters and the establishment will go a long way.

Trump is riding the media wave and Bernie needs to be surfing that wave and knock Trump off his board.

Trumps strength is his loud mouth appeal to populist causes.

Bernie needs to out shout him and show that Trump is a con man.
