Trump: Sanders turning out to be 'weak, pathetic'

[TomCADem]

Source: The Hill

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump slammed Bernie Sanders on Sunday, calling the Vermont senator "weak" and "pathetic."

"There is no longer a Bernie Sanders 'political revolution.' He is turning out to be a weak and somewhat pathetic figure, wants it all to end!" Trump tweeted.

"Sorry folks, but Bernie Sanders is exhausted, just can't go on any longer. He is trying to dismiss the new e-mails and DNC disrespect. SAD!"

I have to say that Trump's outreach to Sanders supporters is a bit unconventional. He just can't restrain his natural urge to be an a*****e.

1. Good job, Don. That will certainly persuade Sanders supporters

to vote for you.

[Craig234]

18. And trump was too scared to debate Bernie. n/t

[RapSoDee]

27. That's right. Trump chickened out of the debate. He challenged, then whimped out

So the Republicans are now on their knees slobbering over yet another Chickenhawk Chump with, what, 5 military deferments? What is the number? How many did Trump get when he was chickening out of service to America?

At any rate, Trump will always be remembered for issuing a debate challenge to Sanders, then turning tail and chickening out when Sanders immediately called his bluff.

I wonder if Bernie will remind Trump that, behind all the bluster, Trump is a "weak, insecure, pathetic" blowhard who once again chickened out when it mattered.

36. So, if Sanders is weak and pathetic, but Trump was scared to debate him

Does that make Trump even weaker & more pathetic?

[Craig234]

38. Of course it does.

I posted on trump's twitter before how weak he is.

[Rex]

2. I read he is an asshole to everyone, he wanted GOPers to kiss his ass in meetings.

Did they not realize the absolute abomination they nominated to be POTUS? Trump the Uniter.

[63splitwindow]

6. His biggest supporters are bigoted RW scumnuts. Dumbass low-lifes and their cousins.

The way he is exactly is what they want and IS THE REASON they nominated him.

[Rex]

8. I agree, I know a few of them around here. Birther idiots that never let it go.

He is their kind of arrogant asshole.

[63splitwindow]

3. Don the Con doesn't give a damn about anyone. He is just trying to stir shit in hopes of

causing havoc at Democratic Convention. He follow that tweet with this one:

"Even though Bernie Sanders has lost his energy and his strength, I don't believe that his supporters will let Crooked Hillary off the hook!"

[rusty quoin]

20. He's a psychopath.

I've worked with this type before. They will compliment you to get you one their side (like Bernie) and trash you later. It doesn't matter to them. They will work in subterfuge to undermine others, all the time. It's how their brains are wired. They are the most dangerous people in any subgroup.

The first thing you do is stay away from them. Secondly, never believe a word they say. They are professionals at destruction unlike anything else. They are born that way, while others have to learn how to be evil.

It's very unfortunate that we have Trump up for president. If by chance he wins, I think it's probably the first time we will have a psychopath in the White House since Andrew Jackson.

Edit: this psychopath is working at a national level, and he is disrupting in the same way as what happens in subgroups. The national media thinks his opinion is and has always been important, and they are afraid of him. They want to stay on his side, or suffer the consequences. They are not up to the task of facing down a psychopath of this size, but Elizabeth Warren is. She is my hero.

[montana_hazeleyes]

23. They also have NO empathy or compassion at all.

Only for themselves. They feel nothing for the hurt or suffering of anyone or any beings.

[LittleGirl]

4. I'm getting

really sick of everything that comes out of that asshole's mouth, getting reported as if it is news.
Fuck him. I am sick of Trump.

[TomCADem]

13. He Could Very Well Be Our President. His Words Would Be Policy

If he starts to go to war with a federal judge or decides to freeze out media that he does not agree with, well that is that.

[LittleGirl]

25. Yep

and Pence from Indiana (like me) wanted to start his own government media center to brainwash all of the hoosiers in that state about his hateful rhetoric. ugh. They both deserve each other. He must not become our President. Or he will be our last President because the country will be in a civil war.

[jtuck004]

5. Would be like electing our own national Internet troll. With no way to hide it. n/t

[63splitwindow]

12. His nomination, itself, is a national humiliation. Our enemies point and say...

"SEE. I told you what they were REALLY like!"

[LittleGirl]

26. as someone

that lives abroad, I can totally agree with this statement.

[backscatter712]

7. Trump, just do the world a favor and die of cancer or something. n/t

[Chicago1980]

9. What will the BernieorBusters say regarding this?

I'm honestly not trying to start anything, but am truly asking the question.

There was a rally today in Philly, and I'm sure there were NeverHillary people and those who'll write-in Bernie's name. There were those who called Bernie a traitor for endorsing Hillary.

What will they say and or do regarding what this blowhard ignoramus of an asshole has now said about their preferred candidate?

[Ned Flanders]

22. I'd say Trump has been hanging out at DU.

Lulz

[Sunlei]

10. Sanders was great in this Sundays political TV interviews (so was Obama) must suck for Rtrump.

[yuiyoshida]

11. Donald, speaking of weak and pathetic

You, sir HAVE NOTHING, but Hate. How do you live with yourself, you Narcissistic over blown
gas bag!

[RAFisher]

14. Comrade Don has done a 360 in the last 2 days. He's probably mad Vlad's sabotage isn't working well

The DNC emails get released just as Donald is pandering to Sanders supporters. Now that Sanders insists this won't change his support of Clinton he is attacking Sanders.

[Kathy M]

15. Since he is the republican running for prez

unfortunately ........ I think he acts like a 5 th grade bully wanting a fight ....... Since responding and talking about feeds into his ego and become more combative also his supporters seem to like anger / fighting ...... Would it be better to ignore ?

just wanted to add that really is juvenile ....... seems like everything he writes means just the opposite in reality when he is trying to label a person

[-Steph-]

16. He never misses an opportunity to be a bully...

[6000eliot]

17. Upset that he wouldn't take Putin's and your bait?

[olddad56]

19. Plain and simple, Trump aspires to become another Hitler.

and if it happened in Germany, it can happen here. The Germans are not stupid people.

[Skittles]

21. fuck off Donald, you insecure piece of CRAP

[Yallow]

24. Millions Understand (1) How Corrupt Our Government Is And (2) How Much Of A Low Life You Are

Thank Bernie for helping paint the picture more clear with #1, and we all know you birthers are racist low lifes.

Now go f yourself Drumpf.

[kentuck]

28. If you are of no present or future use to Donald Trump, then....

...you are "weak and pathetic"....

What an Asshole !

[Ilsa]

29. Bernie values his integrity over his ego.

Trump couldn't begin to understand what that means.

[Puppyjive]

30. I am thinking something different here.

I think Trump really does not want to be President and he is trying to get Bernie supporters all rallied up and somehow get Bernie back in the race. I think Trump realizes that being President is going to be too much work and he does not want Hilary to be the next president. He is just doing too many things that would trigger political suicide in a typical election. You can call my bluff anytime.

[leftyladyfrommo]

31. That man is such a jerk.

As a friend of mine said, "He is the the biggest Jackass of all jackasses."

[TomCADem]

40. In Grade School, Some Folks Like To Hang With the Bullies...

...because they felt that by being on their side, they were protected. This seems to be Trump's MO. Attack anyone and everyone who is not 100 percent behind him. Can you imagine him as a President?

[leftyladyfrommo]

41. No, I can't. And I worry about that.

He functions on the emotional level of a 4th grader.

I guess that appeals to white men who feel like they were bullied in life.

[Odin2005]

32. Fuck you, Donald!

[wiggs]

33. TRUMP EXPLAINED HERE. People, especially dems, better understand what he's

doing with every interview, tweet, insult, and statement. High level manipulation and advertising....which, sadly, has proven to work very well not only in marketing of product but in politics. It's NOT only that he has a natural urge to be an 'asshole.' It's that he knows that being an asshole is his ticket to get over on investors, regulators, judicial system....and now, voters.

Lakoff's article is spot on. Domination / patriarchal marketing. Explains so, so, so, so, so much, including why he uses his kids and wife as much as he does in campaigning.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/george-lakoff/understanding-trump_b_11144938.html

Really interesting (also dense, but worth it)...Hillary's very existence and her life's accomplishments are antithetical to the deeply ingrained, effective, father-figure buttons Trump is pushing. This is more than dem vs gop...more than left vs right...more than policy vs feeling....more than forward vs backward.....we / she are fighting ancient social systems backed by modern marketing and brain chemistry.

This stuff works. And the only antidote is to be aware of the manipulation and to counter it with high level advertising of your own. Doesn't need to be the same low, assholish strategy....our / her campaign needs to be aware of what it's up against and counter appropriately. Not being aware of the methods Trump is using is counting on being lucky.

[randr]

34. Trump must have realized the Bernie people are not going to vote for him

[Darb]

35. What's sad is this will work on many bernies.

Case in point, this morning at the Florida delegation meeting. Rump is manipulating them with tactics on a 2nd grade level and it seems to be working. This is fucking sad.

[Justice]

37. Cruz was a traitor for speaking his mind, but Sanders is weak for asking for unity. Right.

[spiderpig]

39. I never could figure out humans like Trump

until I read several books about sociopaths.

There is no dealing with these people. You are an object to them. Something to be exploited and discarded for their personal aggrandizement. We've all worked with people like this.

The only solution is to avoid at all costs.
