"Bernie Sanders Pushes Trump Towards A Nervous Breakdown By Calling Out His Lies" [View all]

Link to Bernie Sanders Pushes Trump Towards A Nervous Breakdown By Calling Out His Lies; excerpt:

ABC’s This Week:

SANDERS: Well, I think anybody who understands Mr. Trump’s campaign knows that he tells the truth very, very rarely and I’m afraid that on this occasion, he’s lying again. First of all, he calls me a communist. Obviously, that’s a lie. Then he says that our campaign is organizing disruptions of his rallies. That’s a lie. George, we have millions of supporters out there, and clearly, some of them were at that rally, along with many, many other protesters. But to say that we organized that, totally untrue. Uh, Mr. Trump, I think, is getting very nervous. He is catching onto the fact that the American people do not support a candidate like Trump, whose — whose verbiage, whose language, whose rhetoric incites violence. I mean we’ve all seen rhetoric — we’ve all seen some of the video of people at his rallies sucker punching people, of kicking people. And I would urge Mr. Trump, really, to tone it down, uh, to not incite violence on the part of his supporters.... But I think what we are seeing in the Trump campaign is not only racist attacks, but what you’re seeing is attacks on Muslims, on women, on veterans. To attack Senator John McCain because he was a POW is crazy. To insult Mexicans, our neighbors to the south, calling Mexicans a rapist or — or criminals, this guy — there was a big debate in the United Kingdom parliament of whether or not he should even be allowed to enter the United Kingdom. This is a man who is dividing up his country in very serious ways, frightening ways.

Earlier on Sunday, Trump went on a delusional rant where he claimed that thousands of Sanders supporters are responsible for the violence that is occurring at his rallies. Bernie Sanders is doing the United States of America a great service by doing what the Republican Party can’t. Sen. Sanders is shining a light on the racism, bigotry, and hate that is being campaigned on by Donald Trump.

Sanders is the complete opposite of Trump. Bernie Sanders is a dedicated public servant who has built a career on integrity, principles, and values. Trump is a person with no values who is only concerned with making deals and “winning.” Donald Trump has no credibility or integrity and has spent decades in the singular pursuit of building the Trump brand.... If Bernie Sanders keeps up the pressure, Donald Trump is going to crack. Bernie Sanders is in Trump’s head, and the senator from Vermont is on the verge of derailing the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination.
