Clinton. Hillary is a disaster, folks, Trump said at a rally in Fresno, Calif.
She has bad judgment, that was said by Bernie Sanders. Hes given me a lot of my best lines. I mean, he has given me such great lines on her.
Trump added that he uses Sanderss attacks against Clinton because critics accuse him of being not nice when he comes up with his own.
Clinton has a big lead on Sanders in the Democratic presidential race, but Sanders has insisted he wont leave the race until the Democratic National Convention this summer.

(15,805 posts)perhaps sticking up for Trump is not your best retort, yeah?
It's expected that Sanders followers will defend him without pause, in the fiction that he is so perfect that he can do no wrong, but you took a different road, gleeful that Trump is using Sanders as his minion to create dissension. It's an inexplicable stance for any Democrat.

(10,749 posts)This is Trump being Trump. If Bernie had dropped out, he'd modify his insults, but the insults would still be there. Trump doesn't need Bernie to insult Hillary.

(14,124 posts)Trump is no economic liberal, despite a few lukewarm statements on raising taxes on rich. I doubt he'll fool many liberals.

(11,945 posts)Polls show that he can beat Hill. Plus, he likes her personally. Greedy, selfish elitists share basic values.
So many reasons to undermine the candidacy of Bernie Sanders...
Let's surprise ol' Donny and nominate the only candidate who can beat him!

(15,445 posts)From ancient grudge break to new banality,
Where uncivil spew makes uncivil lips unclean.
From forth the mouths of these two foes,
A mound of moronic meanderings doth emerge;
Whose misadventured piteous bleatings,
Do with their shame, bury their supporters' strife,
Which, but their defeat, naught can efface.
