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.
"What Trump has done with some success is taken that anger, taken those fears, which are legitimate, and converted them into anger against Mexicans, anger against Muslims," Sanders said, adding that he would use that anger to support things like an increase in the minimum wage....

Maybe, but only if the Trump supporters refuse to pay attention to Sanders’ record and the positions he’s taken in the past.
Well let me know how that turns out, Bernie.
You dim-bulb.
Sorry Bernie, Trump supporters would never be won over by you, they are not Communists.
Stalinists lie. ALWAYS
Leftists think they have the market on disaffection cornered.
They cannot imagine that their stupid ideas have become the reason for ‘legitimate anger’.
Not when he ruled Hillary’s emails a non-issue.
Bernie re-telling the media lie.
Fact: average people want what Trump offers.
The ‘angry’ people want more.
Sander’s “gimmedat’s” anger over Trump’s “We’re the one paying the GD bills” anger. This could get interesting ;’}
I’d vote for Satan himself before I’d vote for that Woodstock burnout.
and the positions..
and ANY OF the positions.
there :)
Poor Bernie, he’s a lot like Heb isn’t he? I wonder if they are going to be on the same ticket, Bernie/Heb for America....LMAO!!!!
That's what we already got with Obama you old fool. Why would anyone want more.
And we're not tired of hearing about those dam emails Bernie.
Not bloody likely, since we working class people are supporting the non-working class with our taxes-the ones socialists like Bernie pour onto wasteful welfare programs-he is delusional...
They’re refusing to pay attention to what Trump said in the past, too, so it won’t be hard for them.
This actually is a problem for Republicans, because about a third of GOP primary voters are actually Democrats, since we have so many open primaries. I think those voters will probably not vote in the Republican primary (you can only vote in one primary) and probably will vote for Bernie, who is promising them everything they could possibly want.
Many surveys have said that Hillary is so unpopular that Bernie might win in several primaries, and if he wins there, he’ll win in the general elections because many Trump voters will vote for him.
Did he just go out for a couple of rounds of Doubles with Hilda? Was he sober when he said this?
Pretty sad that Bernie was against TARP while Trump said they were better off if it passed.
Why would Sanders want Trump supporters since he and other leftists consider them to be hayseed hick, gun toting rednecks. Sorry Bernie, but everyone, including Trump supporters, know you’re a socialist. No sale buddy. Keep fooling the sheep on the Democrat farm. They’re the only ones who buy your act!
"We're going to win because first we're going to explain what Democratic socialism is."When are you going to get started on that project, Bernie?-- Bernie Sanders
Well, if Bernie said he would close the borders and temporarily cease muslim immigration......
