Republicans boost Sanders in bid to revive discontent from 2016 [View all]
<snip>
"President Trump and one of his top allies in Congress both have taken a particular interest in the political fortunes of a self-declared socialist in recent days.
Trump defended Sen. Bernie Sanders on Tuesday evening from accusations that he said a woman could not win the presidency.
“I don’t believe that Bernie said that. I really don’t. It’s not the kind of a thing he would say,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Milwaukee, after Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sanders’s rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, accused him of making those remarks."

"Trump isn’t alone in his defense of Sanders. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., expressed concern over the fact that Sanders, a leading candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, will have to stay in Washington over the next few weeks for the Senate impeachment trial.
McCarthy speculated on “Fox News Sunday” that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., had delayed the impeachment trial explicitly to harm Sanders’s chances of winning the nomination."

"After Trump took Sanders’s side in the spat with Warren, he told the crowd at his rally that he didn’t personally like Sanders, and found him to be a “nasty guy.”
