(5,272 posts)not good, that says you can never agree with anything somebody on the other side says, because you have just ceded ground. This is outright crazy. That is not the way to convince people that your side and your message is right. That is a way to convince people that you are just a partisan hack. Those who are okay with ultra partisanship will join you or the other side, those who find it disgusting may just flip a coin or stay home.
Instead, what Sanders has done is used the things that Trump has said in the past to shine a stark contrast between the messaging he gave the people(some of which Sanders said should be done as well) and Trump's actual actions. THAT is the right way to deal with Trump and what he says. Not running away from anything that he suddenly espouses to support.
