TPM: Bernie Sanders Avoids Responding To Trump's 'Absurd' Comment

Bernie Sanders Avoids Responding To Trump's 'Absurd' Comment
SARA JERDE
Talking Points Memo

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) joked Sunday when he was asked to respond to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's comments.

Trump had called Sanders a "maniac" and a "socialist slash communist."

ABC "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos asked Sanders for his response.

"Well, if I had to respond to every absurd thing that Donald Trump said, I would spend my whole life doing it," Sanders said, before transitioning to The Donald's tax plan and his own ideas for reforming the nation's taxes.


The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn Trump. Enough of the Trump.

They want Bernie to say something in response to the Commie comment of Trump so they can open up a Commie barrage on him. Once he would say something in response they would feel free to continue to hit on that. Bernie is playing it smart. He's really on to all their tricks.
