If Bernie Can't Read Trump's Joke, How Can He Read Foreign Leaders or the Country's?

WOW, honestly, the gullibility of Bernie buying the Trump debate offer is pathetic. Is this what should be the Dem party nominee, or President of America for that matter? Should this guy really be putting anyone on the DNC platform committee? Pathetic.

You believe Trump was joking because Trumps tells you that? He was blustering and he got busted. I invite you to join with Democrats howling with laughter at Trump's trepidation.

with the idea and would love for it to go forward. Supposed genius for the cameras that Trump is now supposed to be (the ridiculous excuse the media make for themselves), I believe our own prize zealot Bernie would compare very well to that pathetic gas bag of a man. With all his faults, Bernie is real, and I'd like to see some of that rigid righteousness better directed.

Bernie Sanders on The View: "Look, Donald Trump is a demagogue. He is a bigot, and he has nothing to say about the important issues facing our country. The fact that you have a candidate for president of the United States of America in 2016 who scapegoats and insults Mexicans and Latinos and Muslims and women and veterans and African-Americans, this is not somebody who should be president of the United States. But that’s what Trump has done. This is what Trump has done throughout his entire campaign. He’s very good at insulting people, at attacking people, but he has nothing to say about the future of this country.”


This is good stuff.

Even if we say Bernie fell for Trumps plan, it really does not say anything negative about Sanders ability to interact with foreign leaders
