Bernie Sanders: 'Trump Is Very Smart' For Manipulating The Media

Donald Trump is "very smart," Bernie Sanders said during an interview that aired Thursday, because the Manhattan mogul and former star of NBC's "The Apprentice" franchise knows how to play the media.

In a discussion on CNN's "New Day" with Chris Cuomo, Sanders addressed why he thinks the Republican candidate's poll numbers keep rising and why he appears to be solidifying support among the party's base a little more than a month before voters head to the polls in the first primary and caucus states.

"Well Chris, you're going to have to ask the media precisely why. I mean, Trump is a media guy," Sanders said, before dropping in a reference to the annual Tyndall Report on news coverage, which found that "ABC World News Tonight" featured 81 minutes of Trump and just 20 seconds of him in the same time frame.

"Now you tell me why," Sanders continued. "And I think it has to do with the fact that Trump is very smart."

Bernie, if you get the Dem spot, Trump will mop the floor with you

[GOPJ]

Well that’s a back-handed snarky compliment... I expected better from Sanders.

[McGruff]

Sanders continued. “And I think it has to do with the fact that Trump is very smart.”

Come to the Trump Side, Bernie supporters. We have cookies.

[HiTech RedNeck]

The media might be smart too... they don’t want to hurt Bernie’s chances too much, they may be sympathetic to the guy but WHEW he’s embarrassing.

[joshua c]

Sanders endorsed Trump? I am have to have a rethink on this.

[HarleyLady27]

Oh that poor old man, Bernie, thinks he talking about Hillary....I hate to remind you Bernie, Trump will chew you up and spit you out....

[max americana]

the media is totally in the Dummycrats pocket and he blames Trump? Coming from a fat ass commie, that’s something else

[Logical me]

Damn right, Bernie. That is what we need a real smart President that can get things done to restore America. He will have the Senate and House to do their jobs and we might get America back.

Trump/Palin
or
Trump/Cruz

[Awgie]

Is it possible that Donald Trump is just being authentically Donald Trump? In other words, he is not manufacturing and “image”, he is not consciously “manipulating” the media. He is just being himself, and the result is just reaction to the authentic true person that is Donald Trump.

Godspeed and Merry Christmas to Ted Cruz and Donald Trump !


A 2,000 "solid" mile on the US-Mexico border ... Islamic Immigrants from Syria DEPORTED ... Constitutional Moratorium on Moslem Immigration ... Illegal Mexicans DEPORTED ... Common Core CANCELED ... Planned Parenthood PROSCECUTED and DEFUNDED ... Israel supported ... US-Iran deal shredded ... Club Gitmo re-opened ... ISIS "exterminated" ... Disney (et al) H1B Visa corporate abuse PROSCECUTED ...



Donald Trump certainly has an interesting past ... both positive and negative from a Conservative viewpoint (and I'm a rock-ribbed Conservative, Ted Cruz supporter) ...


However ... Yeb Bush and his $ 100 million dollar GOPe-RINO campaign fund was designed to DESTROY political Conservaties like Ted Cruz in this election cycle ...

NOT "get along with" Conservatives ... rather DESTROY them ... like the political bastard Mitt Romney destroyed Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum (etc) in 2012.


Who really wants a repeat of the 2012 GOPe DEBACLE ?


So who is responsible for Yeb Bush at 3%, Marco "Amnesty" Rubio at 10%, John Kasisch at 1% ... who ? .. who ? ...

We all know the answer ... Donald Trump ... without spending a DIME on TV commercials ...

NOT Ted Cruz, whose brilliant conservatism was TARGETED for DESTRUCTION by the Karl Rove GOPe-RINO DC Washington Cartel and their $ 100 million ...


Donald Trump has "genuinely" kicked Yeb Bush's political butt like General George Patton rescued the 101st Airborne at Bastogne in Christmas 1944 ...


What's the conclusion to this epic political saga ?

President Ted Cruz, VP Donald Trump ...

Hillary and Jeb consigned to the political dustbin of history ...

A 2,000 "solid" mile on the US-Mexico border ... Islamic Immigrants fro Syria DEPORTED ... Constitutional Moratorium on Moslem Immigration ... Illegal Mexicans DEPORTED ... Common Core CANCELED ... Planned Parenthood PROSCECUTED and DEFUNDED ... Israel supported ... US-Iran deal shredded ... Club Gitmo re-opened ... ISIS "exterminated" ... Disney (et al) H1B Visa corporate abuse PROSCECUTED ...

Mitch McConnell FORCED to resign and replaced by Jeff Sessions ...

Paul Ryan FORCED to resign and replaced by Louis Gohmert ...

Reince Pribus FORCED out and replaced by Jim DeMint ...


What's not to love, America ?


Godspeed and Merry Christmas to Ted Cruz and Donald Trump !

Bernie has an epiphany.

Hell Bernie has been trying the same ploy and succeeding to some degree.

Regardless it is PT Barnum stuff.

We need a leader not a carnival barker

[HiTech RedNeck]

Just musing... what if BERNIE should see the light too... after a while all this unreality has to be very painful to keep up!

The thing I like about Bernie... while he’s so far in left field he is out of the ballpark altogether, but he’s sincere. Someone who is sincere is more likely to be moved by logic from a wrong position, than someone who is just forever playing situations and people.

Trump, would you give Bernie a ride back to the ballpark?

[Old Yeller]

Seems to me Hussein has manipulated the media better than anyone who has ever lived. Only the real anti-Christ will do it better.

[mylife]

A buddy of mine says Trump sent him a Christmas card and did not ask for more money, he continued on to say Mutch Toney sent an email asking for money to put a republican in office.

He replied with a **** you very Mutch and get off my lawn email.

LOL
LOL

True story

[dowcaet]

Seeing the American TV media in action you don’t need to be super smart to get past them. We all know they’re Democrats so that alone speaks for their lack of intelligence.

[mylife]

Sarah for speaker of the house

[VanDeKoik]

Maybe if Bernie stop acting like Hillary’s cuckold b*tch, he could get more time.

[mylife]

Mutch Romney

Hell I messed up my own funny

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well I’d put it as, they’ve been willingly in bed with him.
