Bernie Sanders names the one thing Democrats should not do if they want to defeat Trump in 2020 [View all]

Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday said if he and other 2020 Democrats spend all of their time attacking President Donald Trump, then they will lose the election.

"Whether you're conservative or moderate or progressive, I don't think the American people are proud that we have a president who is a pathological liar. It does not give me pleasure to say that ... Trump cannot even tell the truth as to where his father was born," Sanders said during a Fox News town hall.

But then he issued a warning to his fellow 2020 Democrats.

"If we spend all our time attacking Trump, you know what, Democrats are going to lose," Sanders said. "Our job is to lay out a vision that makes sense to the working families of this country."
