Trump supporters, Sanders believes that you are liberals, Rockefeller Republicans and budding Big Government Socialists, and he's seeking your support if the Donald falls short.

Happy he didn't ask for my support-- but then again, I support an unabashed conservative---

which have upended the Republican primary battle, have also driven the unlikely candidacy of Mr. Sanders, whose views on policy put him to the left of many in the Democratic Party.

While the two men are polar opposites in many ways, their campaigns are designed to appeal to the same sense of unease, seen in polling data, among Americans who don’t think they can get a fair shake.

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!”

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.

Sanders Sees Trump Backers as His Allies

That's because he ignored the advice about the brown acid at Woodstock.

Tea Partiers for Sanders? Dream on, Sanders

[McGruff]

More likely Sanders supporters would vote for Trump after the dirty tricks Hillary 2016 has and will pull on him.

[fieldmarshaldj]

And a bowel movement.

[JSDude1]

Uh no-unless of course Trump voters are SOCIALISTS. Most are not I believe.

[TigersEye]

I don’t think he’s had one of those in a decade.

In your dreams Bernice.....

Does he know what a “socialist” is?

[WENDLE]

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!!

[dforest]

My whole family is voting for Trump. None of us feel the Bern.

Grampa needs the Old Folks Home

[Seaplaner]

I haven't read the piece; however, I do know that Mister Trump supports socialized medicine and Trump supporters cannot effectively explain that one away.

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.

[higgmeister]

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.

This guy is mainlining LSD. That is the most outrageous thing I have ever heard.
