Bernie Sanders DESTROYS Trump During His Coronation From The Comfort Of His Armchair

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2016/07/22/bernie-sanders-destroys-trump-during-his-coronation-from-the-comfort-of-his-armchair/



ME: this is a thing of beauty

Will Trump mention climate change, the great environmental crisis of our time? Been waiting for a year now. #RNCwithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016

Those who voted for me will not support Trump who has made bigotry and divisiveness the cornerstone of his campaign. #RNCwithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016

We believe in bringing people together, not dividing them up.

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016

Trump is wrong. The real cause of instability in the Middle East was the Bush-Cheney invasion of Iraq. By the way, where is President Bush?

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016

Trump’s big economic plans: Give trillions in tax breaks to millionaires, refuse to raise the federal minimum wage. #RNCwithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016

Trump’s economic plan: $3.2 trillion in tax breaks for millionaires, cut programs for low-income Americans. #RNCwithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016

What a hypocrite! If Trump wants to “fix” trade he can start by making his products in the US, not low-wage countries abroad. #RNCwithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016

Fix trade. Stop manufacturing Trump shirts in Bangladesh at 30-cents an hour. #RNCwithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016

Fix trade. Stop manufacturing Trump ties in China.

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016

Fix trade. Stop manufacturing Trump clothing in Mexico. #RNCwithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016

Citizens United is one of the worst decisions in our history. Will Trump mention it or is he too afraid of the Koch brothers? #RNCwithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016

Still waiting for a single word about covering the 28 million Americans without health insurance. I guess they don’t matter much to Trump.

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016

Trump: “I alone can fix this.”
Is this guy running for president or dictator? #RNCwithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016

Trump: “I alone can fix this.” Maybe he doesn’t understand that a president has to work with Congress. #RNCwithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016

Looks like Ted Cruz was right about one thing. Trump does not understand what the Constitution is about. #RNCwithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016

Our movement understands that what we don’t need is Trump’s huge tax breaks for millionaires. #RNCwithBernie

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) July 22, 2016

Trump thinks climate change is a “hoax.” My supporters understand that we must move away from fossil fuels, not expand them. #RNCwithBernie

that part of the TOS for this site is that you must support the Democratic nominee for president. I suggest self-deleting your post if you don't want it to be removed.

about not supporting Hillary. It expresses an honest emotion. I, too, am sad that Bernie is not our nominee!

6. The TOS states:
Fri Jul 22, 2016, 06:20 AM
Jul 2016

"Do not post anything that could be construed as bashing, trashing, undermining, or depressing turnout for any Democratic general election candidate"

Saying that you're sad our GE candidate, our DEMOCRATIC candidate for president, isn't the person you wanted is undermining our nominee.

If you don't support Hillary and you don't want her to be the nominee, you shouldn't be on this website. I'm not the law - there's nothing I can do except alert on posts that violate the TOS. But why would you WANT to be on a website where you don't want to support the Democratic nominee for president, when that is the whole purpose of the site? There's a whole internet out there for you. The only reason someone who doesn't support Hillary wants to be here is to stir the shit.

voted for Bernie. To say you are sad he isn't the nominee in no way undermines Hillary. Bernie is certainly sad he isn't the nominee. Isn't keeping him from supporting Hillary. The poster didn't break the TOS. But, I tell you what, if you think it is a violation, then alert on it, and mine. And, if the posts are removed, and then I lose an appeal of it, and I learn that expressing sadness that Bernie is not our nominee is a violation, I will delete my account and never show up here again.

it's a mild one, and the poster is new. I was trying to give some friendly advice. You seem extremely angry and aggressive, so I'll leave you to it. Bye now.

Are you trashing Bernie as not being a Democrat, because that could be construed as a violation of the TOS.

But the post in question is so brief and simply expresses an emotion that I think it should stay. It's not really fighting and it doesn't bash Hillary.

suggests otherwise.

LOTS of us are unhappy with the primary results. We will vote for all the Dems on the ballot. But we don't have to be happy about the top of the ticket.

a threat, and starting with "You're new here, so I'll tell you..." sounds condescending. Just saying.

Thank you for not alerting his (or her) post.

I was on the jury that apparently agreed with me to not hide your post because the rule in question was "don't keep fighting the primary." I would have voted to hide if the rule was the don't attack other DUers one. Imo, that is out of line.

My appeal to remind her of her sig line hardly seems like an attack. Thank you for not alerting. My record here continues unblemished.
But I promise to be more careful.

Trump: “I alone can fix this.”

Bernie singled it out twice. It illustrates the arrogance of Drumpf. He alone couldn't fix dinner, let alone the greatest challenges facing the world's most powerful nation.
