Sen. Bernie Sanders and President Donald Trump don't agree on much, but the Vermont independent says that if the President is genuinely coaxing China to help moderate North Korea, he is "doing the right thing."

"North Korea is a real danger to this world, and we have got to do everything we can to ... prevent a nuclear war and to get them to stop their nuclear program," said Sanders, speaking with CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day."

"China has got to apply the screws and tell North Korea that if their economy is going to survive, they cannot continue expanding their nuclear arms program and their missile program," he added.

"China is, in fact, the key," Sanders continued. "People have been working on China for years. If Trump is doing that, he's doing the right thing."

1. Good for Saunders...but there is that big IF out there.

If Trump is doing that, he's doing the right thing."

3. Bernie is famous for "IFs" - look it up. But headline is always Bernie agrees with GOP - they leave

out the IF.

10. Gee, almost as if it's by design.

12. Gee, are you suggesting that the corporate media are sometimes

misleading and even deceptive?

Why perish the thought! Somebody fetch my smelling salts!

[6000eliot]

13. I'm also suggesting that certain politicians might know that and take advantage of it.

2. What a weird week for progressives

5. China and NK are allies-to a certain extent

much more so than China and North Vietnam back in the day.

6. North Korea is a real danger when constantly egged on.

There are strategies to containing madmen and constraining their actions. First and foremost is to understand where they are coming from - where their head is at. Kim III is emotionally a 12 year old scion of an extremely patriarchal culture - he's not that difficult to anticipate.
I can't trust Drumpf not to bluster and continue to poke at Kim III.

11. Bernie Is Keeping Trump Off-Balance By Boycotting Briefing...

...then Supporting Trump. Its the Mad Men theory of keeping opponents off-balance.

15. Wow that's a deceptive headline. He said if Trump pushes China to get involved, it's the right thing

"China is, in fact, the key," Sanders continued. "People have been working on China for years. If Trump is doing that, he's doing the right thing."

That's very different from the headline.

[JackRiddler]

16. It is deceptive and several posters here seem to like it that way.
