Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders hasn't decided whether he will run for president in 2020, but until the next presidential election, the former candidate is on a mission: Stop Donald Trump from hurting Americans.
"You know, and I am not a guy in politics who really likes to attack viciously my opponents. Its not my style. But I felt obliged during the campaign to say something that was just patently true, and that is that Trump is a pathological liar," Sanders said during in a Democracy Now! interview in late November that was released on Monday. "And, you know, I mean, he was sayingand the danger is, it may beyou know, everybody lies. You know youre lying. But I fear very much that he may be not even knowing that he lies."
Sanders said Trump's recent tweet that the election results reflected vote rigging could set a dangerous precedent, with people questioning future presidential contests. Sanders has previously called Trump a liar.
"But this statement, as I mentioned earlier, the danger of this statement is not just that it is delusional and incorrect, is that it setsif you have a president who believes that millions of people voted illegally, youre telling every Republican official in this country to suppress the vote, to make it harder for people to vote, whether they are immigrants, whether they are people of color, whether they are poor people, young people or old people. That is the danger of that statement. And thats something we have got to fight tooth and nail," Sanders said.
Sanders stopped short of calling Trump's supporters racist, something many of his critics have done because of the Republican's remarks vowing to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants, many of whom are Hispanic, and his pledge to ban Muslim travelers.

You got 1 vote in the Senate, go nuts.
He is going to rally with the people who stabbed him in the back.
Great Plan.
Shouldn’t he be out looking for a nice assisted living facility?
Just keepin' it real. Still, a month and a half after the election, Sanders is just as bad as is hillary at accepting any personal responsibility for the way events unfolded.
Anytime I see a story about him, I keep thinking he must have a new book coming out.
He does his barking now from the back yard tied to a tree
Hey Millennials....you thought this clown was so “different”
He’s just another career pol who duped your naive asses, covered for hilLIARs email scandal, then greedily accepted her $$$ for a buy out to drop out and keep his big Fn mouth shut
Wake up
A good description of Democracy Now!
He figured out how to lose this election and now he is already working on 2020.
The phony reformer/outsider takes on the real reformer/outsider.
The phony reformer/outsider takes on the real reformer/outsider.
LOL Bernie!
Wikileaks showed that he was staged opposition- the Clintons paid him to take a fall fromm the beginning
Yet he campaigned and raised money and burned a lot of people, then retired to a new mansion by a lake
talk about pathological liars
Hillary’s puppet! Pres. Obama tried to DESTROY America, and failed, Pres. Trump will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and will succeed..heh heh
Hillary gave him one. Its on a lake in New England.
Yeah right Bernie, you just keep on “campaigning” until 2020, when you will be 80 years old, if you are lucky enough to still be alive then! Poor Vermont, it has, for years been crapped up with people “emigrating” from Massoftwoshitts! Somehow, Vermonters have forgotten “freedom and unity,” as they loose their freedom as the “unify” behind a bunch of Commies like Bernie (and Ben & Jerry). If you want to go to “East Germany with pine trees,” I suggest you head on up to Burlington. What a drab place with a bunch of drop outs in doorways.
Someone needs to don the Dingy of the Senate mantle, might as well be The Burn.
The communist idiot couldn’t stop Hitlary, how does he expect he is going to stop Trump who EASILY defeated that pant suit hag?
