Trump says he'd rather run against Bloomberg than Sanders

19. Not sure Sanderss socialism would help Trump all that much

And by Socialism what we really mean is progressivism because let us be honest here. Sanders's plans aren't really socialist.

Anyway, the reason is simply many of the things Sanders is promising now Trump promised back in 2016.
Universal health care, creating jobs in rural areas, trump promised. It is a common attack Sanders uses against Trump "Mr. President, you said you would do this but you didn't. Why did you break your promise?"

The fact is people, even in red states, like these ideas. Get them past the "Vote Republican no matter what" mentality and they will agree they would benefit from a single-payer system.

Trump knew this and exploited it. That's what con men do. They figure out what their mark needs so they cn exploit it.

But that all falls apart when that con man comes up against someone who sincerely means what he says.
