CNN: Sen. Bernie Sanders Not all migrants have a credible claim [View all]

This is why Bernie might have the best chance at being able to appeal to Trump voters who may be uncomfortable with Trump's tax cuts to the rich, but who are also insecure about immigrants, trade, and Muslims, and feel that there jobs and way of life are threatened by immigrants. Since Trump has been stealing Bernie's ideas on trade and attacking the Fed, Bernie is giving Trump a taste of his own medicine by attacking folks in the migrant caravan in light of the border clash, thus triangulating between Trump supporters and the Democratic base.
