Trump sounds happy as he congratulates Sanders

Looks like Crazy Bernie is doing well in the Great State of Nevada. Biden & the rest look weak, & no way Mini Mike can restart his campaign after the worst debate performance in the history of Presidential Debates. Congratulations Bernie, & don’t let them take it away from you!

1. He may be careful what he

wishes for.

[IluvPitties]

4. Nah. The GOP is ready to eviscerate Sanders.

They are praying for this, and so is Putin.

[mzmolly]

11. I support Biden.

But the voting demographic may have changed to the point where Republicans and Russia, are miscalculating.

One can hope...

[IluvPitties]

16. At least in FL

Sanders will be crushed. Cubans, Venezuelans, Nicaraguans and Colombians will crush him in South FL. Older white voters will reject him. The only groups he'll attract will be college kids, Puerto Ricans and African Americans.

You can't win here like that.

[Big Blue Marble]

20. I do not think so.

They are playing our electorate like a impresario. They know more about us than we do.
Only sell them short at the risk of our demise.

[OliverQ]

13. They're ready to eviscerate Biden too.

That's why Mnuchin just handed Hunter Biden's financial records to Lindsey Graham.

[IluvPitties]

17. They are trying now because they ain't got nothing else on him.

[lapfog_1]

38. "They are praying for this, and so is Putin."

There are three "r"s in this sentence, the middle one is not needed.

[BlueTsunami2018]

2. Of course he's happy.

This is exactly what they want. They’re licking their chops at the possibility of a Sanders nomination. We’re walking right into the trap.

3. So here is my problem with Sanders

I am not a fan. I do not consider him a Democrat. I see him as the Trump version of the left. Too much, not enough substance, a lot of words without action.
But like Trump, he has his followers. While the other people in the running divide up votes, even though they might not like Sanders, his supporters get a bigger vote (Sanders gets 100% support from his followers, while the other candidates divide their support).
I do not think he can beat Trump. Not once he gets actually vetted by the right. Not once the (already begun) campaign painting him as a Russian favorite/ socialist/ communist against him gets started.

[musette_sf]

6. I agree with your ideas.

Rump is salivating to run against Sen Sanders. The King of Projection will project every iota of HIS actual "Russian favorite" status on Sen Sanders.

[Big Blue Marble]

5. Pay attention

This is unprecedented. The President of the opposition does not congratulate the winner of a primary.
Everything is going to plan. Putin and Trump are the winners tonight.

[musette_sf]

7. + 1

[Claritie Pixie]

9. No.

[IluvPitties]

28. Yes. They are.

[Claritie Pixie]

31. Because you're buying what they're selling.

[IluvPitties]

35. Nope.

I am buying into reality.

[OliverQ]

12. Democrats wanted Trump to win the Republican primary

in 2016 because they figured he'd be easy to beat.

[Big Blue Marble]

18. Sanders is not Trump in 16.

Don't fall into that trap. Sanders will get more votes in the blue states. He will not take the midwestern states that Trump won. Those midwestern voters are not progressives; they are moderates.

They see socialists as dangerous, not solutions. Trump will waltz to victory and then
watch out, especially when we lose the house and the senate. We will be done. It will be
over. Why do you think Putin wants Sanders? It is all you need to know.

[OliverQ]

19. Bernie is polling +18 among independents against Trump.

He beat Hillary in Wisconsin and Michigan, and Wisconsin has a long history of Socialism.

Sanders is beating Trump in polls of those states. Why would you think the rust belt that Trump has completely destroyed would not want to support the pro-workers candidate?

[Big Blue Marble]

23. The history of socialism in the midwest is history.

Just wait until Trump starts spending his billion dollars to tell the history of Sanders as a socialist.
Do not count that the poll will stay where they are. They will not. Fear is a motivator.

[W_HAMILTON]

25. And Hillary trounced Sanders in states that she went on to lose in the general.

(e.g., Florida)

Just because a state votes for someone in the primary does not mean that they will vote for them in the general.

[IluvPitties]

29. Sanders would lose in FL badly.

[wisteria]

8. Disgusting.

He is taunting us. Interesting how much he like Bernie.

[OliverQ]

10. Trump told Lev Parnas he's terrified of facing Bernie.

This is Trump code for "crap, I may actually have to face Bernie!"

[highplainsdem]

15. No, he didn't. Trump said a unity ticket of Clinton and Sanders in 2016 would have been

scarier than Clinton alone.

[VarryOn]

14. I don't blame him for wanting Sanders...,

Being totally honest, I do not think Sanders can beat Trump. I just don't. He's the Amercan Corbyn.

Please, someone convince otherwise!!!

[OliverQ]

21. Just a reminder that a week ago, Trump

said he'd rather face Bloomberg than Bernie, because Bernie has real followers and support.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/02/11/trump-bloomberg-sanders-2020-election-114170

Now you all are saying that Trump would rather face Bernie and not someone like Bloomberg.

[highplainsdem]

22. Putin is helping Sanders to help Trump.

[OliverQ]

24. How so?

Putin is only pushing Sanders because he knows it causes division like we're seeing on this very forum. Biden/Buttigieg/Klobuchar supporters constantly bashing him and saying he's guaranteed to lose, thereby making Dems second guess his electability and go for someone Putin has already muddied up like Biden.

[sheshe2]

30. I am heartbroken that you spell the mens names out.

Biden and Buttigieg yet call Amy Klobuchar/ Klob. Was that intentional? Why did you do that? No harder to spell than Buttigieg.

[OliverQ]

34. Sorry, I thought that was an endearing nick name people

here use for her. Biden is short and I'm not calling Buttigieg Butt, but I've seen people calling Amy, Klob. I edited my post so as not to offend anyone.

[sheshe2]

36. I haven't seen that once.

Thank you for the edit, Oliver.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

26. He may be gloating over Putin's interference and expecting it to work in Nov.

[Wabbajack_]

27. Hillary was thrilled to be running against Trump

That didn't turn out too well for her.

I think Bernie would bring in 2 non-voters for every upper-middle class White suburbanite who hates playing taxes lost.

[CalFione]

37. For every young kid who votes, three seniors vote

and grandma and grandpa ain’t voting for Bernie.

[SamKnause]

32. Fuck off Trump !!!

Bernie doesn't want your congratulations.

Bernie wants you out of the White House you piece of orange excrement.

[dalton99a]

33. Says it all

[jcmaine72]

39. I can guarantee you that Bernie will wipe that asinine smirk off his fat, orange face.

Let Dotard mock and deride. ..and let the Bernie bashers here barely conceal their delight at such mocking derision.

Trust me, Dotard won't be laughing the morning after Election Day, when he'll wake up to the sound of Bernie's victory speech being replayed over and over again by a visibly suicidal Fox & Friends cast. Neither will the people taking an almost orgasmic delight in shitting all over Bernie and his supporters.

My prediction is you'll be able to hear a microscopic shaving drop off a freshly manufactured pin here on this forum in particular. I can't wait.

[MFM008]

40. Maggots euphoric

The ads against Sanders are ready now.
