Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said Sunday he thinks he can persuade supporters of Republican front-runner Donald Trump to back him in the 2016 race.
Mr. Sanders, an Independent senator from Vermont, said on CBS that his message about economic inequality can appeal to Trump backers who are angry about lower wages and job losses.
"Many of Trump's supporters are working class people and they are angry," Mr. Sanders said. "What Trump has done successfully, I would say, is take that anger, take that anxiety about terrorism and say to a lot of people in this country, look, the reason for our problems is because of Mexicans…or he says about the Muslims, they are all terrorists, and we got to keep them out of this country."
Mr. Sanders said he aims to sway working, and middle class Trump supporters that the Republicans policies are illsuited to placate their fears.

Mr. Trump took exception in a tweet after Mr. Sanders’s TV appearance: “Bernie Sanders, who blew his campaign when he gave Hillary a pass on her email crime, said that I feel wages in America are too high. Lie!”
Grampa needs a nap. And a bath.
I heard Trump say that wages in America are too high. Sanders was correct on that.
An anti-Establishment Communist Sanders running against an Establishment Communist Butcheress of Benghazi is still a Communist.
That's because he ignored the advice about the brown acid at Woodstock.
Tea Partiers for Sanders? Dream on, Sanders
More likely Sanders supporters would vote for Trump after the dirty tricks Hillary 2016 has and will pull on him.
And a bowel movement.
Uh no-unless of course Trump voters are SOCIALISTS. Most are not I believe.
I don’t think he’s had one of those in a decade.
In your dreams Bernice.....
Does he know what a “socialist” is?
Sanders is a Joke. Webb is a real threat to the Democrats. If we get a RINO nominated by rigging the convention — I will vote for Webb!!
My whole family is voting for Trump. None of us feel the Bern.
Grampa needs the Old Folks Home
They do try, of course, but they cannot offer a single rational explanation.

Fat chance Bernie....if you stopped kissing Hellary butt maybe you might be way higher in the demoRat polls.
This guy is mainlining LSD. That is the most outrageous thing I have ever heard.
