WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Bernie Sanders said he thinks he can win over Donald Trump supporters because he can also channel the "legitimate" anger of "working-class people."
In a CBS interview released Sunday, Sanders said many Trump supporters are people who are angry and fearful due to decreasing wages and the rising costs of tuition, among other issues.

This guy is so stupid,, he thinks the Rats love him. They love freebies and dislike Hillary and Jews. The moment he says or does something the Rats don’t like, they will attack him with all of their antisemitic rage.

Bernie’s going to open the border, Donald wants it shut.
Bernie’s going to raise taxes, Donald’s going to cut them.
Bernie loves the media, Donald hates it.
There the same on so many issues - why wouldn’t their voters overlap? :)

“Legitimate” anger? Is that anything like “legitimate” rape?

IOW, he's given up even the pretense of seeking the nomination.

Sanders will never be able to provide an employment climate because he’s a communist and does not understand free market capitalism.

Trump supporters canât stand Sanders.
I should hope so because, whatever else I might think of Trump supporters (one who is curious can search), I don't think they're nearly as dumb as Sanders is, let alone Sanders' supporters.

The communist and his fellow travelers is going to win over the ultimate capitalist and his followers, many of whom would love to get rich via hard work and entrepreneurial opportunity instead of government hand-outs.
Sure.
Talk about STOOPID!
