Businessman Donald Trump says theres at least one subject where he can find some common ground with Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont: trade.
I was watching him and he talked about trade and he was talking about how were getting ripped off left and right on trade, and I [said], you know, I think I can take that paragraph and just use it in my speeches, Mr. Trump said Monday via phone on MSNBCs Morning Joe. Its what Im saying its one of my big things.
Both Mr. Trump, who has been leading recent polls on the 2016 GOP presidential field, and Mr. Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist who is contending for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, have come out against the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade deal being negotiated between the United States and 11 other countries including Japan, Australia and Canada.
Were getting killed by China, were getting killed now heres the difference between Bernie Sanders and myself: I negotiate. I will make great deals with China; he cant do that, Mr. Trump said. In other words, hes incapable of doing that. But he knows the problem, at least. Hes not going to be able to anything about it, but he does know the problem, and if you look at his words on trade and my words on trade, man I was just looking at it yesterday, actually. I said, thats pretty close, you know, so in terms of that, were very close.
Mr. Trump said Mr. Sanders, who has emerged as a chief rival of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, the 2016 Democratic front-runner, has struck a nerve.

JimRob needs to power wash this place, apparently.
Agree 100%.
Thanks for your post!
Taking that proactively, I have pinged the boss and the mod(s) to keep an eye on this thread. It's disgusting that so many have been fooled by Bernie Sanders. But, of course, satan is cunning as well as sly and his earthly agent, Bernie Sanders is equipped with the devil's glib tongue. Although it's not my decision, anyone with a kind word for this unabashed abortionist and unapologetic homosexualist needs at least a time out to think things over and learn the unvarnished truth about this face of pure evil.
In before Zot
Why in the world did AAA even sponsor that commie cr@p?
My guess is that the ad was from a local filling station and the Cities Service, AAA and other logos was just part of the ad. At that time, 1972, I doubt AAA had even heard of Bernie Sanders.
Sanders is the longest-serving independent in U.S. congressional history. A self-described democratic socialist,[6][7][8][9] he favors policies similar to those of social democratic parties in Europe, particularly those instituted by the Nordic countries.[10][11][12]

>> the Pirate Party of northern Europe and Iceland.
Are they Left or Right of the Vikings?
There was quite a push from both political parties in favor Hillary Clinton in a past primary for the presidency. Most voters went so far as to nominate Obama to avoid Hillary. What might be perceived as Sanders’ growing popularity on the left may also be more of an opposition against Hillary.
Little overstatement and humor there. ;-)
Nah, good stuff... the Pirate Party struck me as totally humorous... I like it.
Leading to the question: are you unfamiliar with Sanders, or just the GOPe amnesty whores?
We don't have a free trade deal with Japan.
It is funny to look back on old articles/newsletters....to see the ads, in general.
Good catch, on the Sander’s article. Keep rolling ‘em out, and exposing Bern for the Commie that he is, re_nortex!
