Are you ready for it?-Trump takes credit for Sanders momentum

-snip-
Trump said his attacks on Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton have allowed Sanders to leapfrog her in some polls.

“Look, I was the best thing that ever happened to Bernie Sanders, because my attack on Hillary – all of a sudden she went down, and Sanders got all the credit for it, right?” Trump said at a rally in Muscatine, Iowa.

“And then they start saying, ‘Bernie Sanders is surging, an amazing thing happened.’ I did it – I’m saying I did that,” he added.

“This guy Bernie Sanders – give me a break. How does he figure this whole thing? But he got all the credit – it’s unbelievable.”

Look up "Narcissistic Personality Disorder" in the dictionary and you'll likely find his picture there.

brought such a big ego to the national stage.

It's kind of hard to adjust.

Nixon looks restrained next to Donald Trump.

and I do think that the ultimate beneficiary is Sanders and the American people.

As Trump weans the GOP voters from the professional handlers of the Party Leadership, he frees the voters up to think for themselves...and those in the GOP that don't like Trump look for an alternative, and turn to Bernie.

So let the Donald be free to do what he wants....it's good for us all!

And if he thinks his attacks on Hillary help Bernie, he may be right on that, too.


I just don't think they help the Donald, when the sand stops shifting. He's so repulsive as a human being that many of the GOP will not support him regardless of how much they dislike Hillary.

Trumps new motto:
