Donald Trump: Bernie Sanders is 'the next step' – even 'worse' than a socialist

Donald Trump has warned about the ideology of his fellow presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, saying the Vermont senator is an “admitted socialist. Some people think he’s even worse than that. He’s the next step.”
In an interview with the Guardian on the eve of the first Democratic presidential debate, Trump said Sanders’ beliefs were “a short road to failure for this country”.
Despite Sanders leading polls in Iowa and New Hampshire as he is on the Republican side of the race for the White House, Trump said he didn’t think the Vermont senator had staying power because “if you’re a socialist running for office in this country, I don’t see it happening”.
Sanders drew attention in an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday when he was asked: “Are you a capitalist?”
“No,” Sanders replied. “I am a democratic socialist.”
