Trump's State of the Union suggests he's worried about Bernie Sanders

[Uncle Joe]

Whitmer, who won the governor’s mansion in 2018, delivered her remarks with an affable Midwestern folksiness. She focused on explaining how the Democrats have a party brimming with practical policy solutions to problems like health care premiums and decaying infrastructure that can be implemented incrementally.

She also called for unity across the two parties — and for Republicans to set aside partisanship for Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate.

Sanders, by contrast, had nothing conciliatory to offer.

Instead, he spoke with fiery passion about class war between the 1 percent and everybody else. He demanded Medicare-for-all, complete cancellation of student debt, and widespread mobilization in the face of accelerating climate change. He did not appeal to Republicans’ better angels or for bipartisan consensus, and he repeatedly called Trump a liar.

5. By your logic...

3. Your article provided no evidence of that to support its premise.

4. If Trump were actually worried about Sanders...

...the GOP wouldn't be trying to get Republicans in open primary states to ratfuck the Democratic primaries by voting for him.
