Trump Defends Bernie Sanders On Russian Election Interference 😲

Trump is trying to split Democrats because he knows that he can’t beat a united party. In this respect, he and Sen. Sanders share a goal. The Sanders strategy is to try to win the Democratic nomination in a split party with only his base of support


The idea that Sanders couldn’t say anything because the briefing was classified is nonsense. Presidential candidates don’t get classified briefings until they are the nominee. Sanders would have been briefed on the interference as a candidate, not a senator.
If the briefing were classified, it still would have been classified after the media reported it. Media reports don’t declassify information. Sanders or his campaign have never said that the briefing was classified. Even if the briefing classified, it wouldn’t prevent Sanders from talking



https://www.politicususa.com/2020/02/22/trump-defends-bernie-sanders-on-russian-election-interference.html


The polls are to unrealistic to believe he is winning everywhere Polls are being rigged our opinion ..2016 again...

With cross over also...no way...do I believe it...

And Bernie doesn't know ?????

The Great Pumpkin only comes to the most sincere pumpkin patch, and Trump is nothing if not sincere, don'tcha know. He just wants an open and fair process. He's speaking out, in good faith, about how Bernie is getting screwed by the Democratic establishment. I mean ... obviously. That's why Bernie is leading in most recent polls.

How dare you suggest that the motives of the Great Pumpkin are anything but pure! Bless his little heart.

And there are a bunch of small leads with under 25% support. Democrats need to get wise after SC and start clearing the field. Steyer, Klobuchar, Warren aren’t going to win. Biden doesn’t look great either.

primaries so sadly for you and other supporters...his numbers are suspect and without an overwhelming win ...he can't be the nominee if it comes to a brokered convention where a different nominee emerges so bit it... our only chance really as Sanders will lose 35 states and likely the house. Also, Carolina is where Biden will emerge and super Tuesday...the Russian thing will be felt by then...and Sander does not have a good lead anyway.

Bernie was briefed about interference in his campaign and kept it secret.
That is NOT the leadership I am looking for.
Also IMHO... his campaign staff is running him and not the other way around. We already have one of these.

Our Democratic leadership has everything to do with Russian meddling in any fucking thing related to our United States elections.
