Why doesn’t Bernie understand Trump was just joking when he said that?!
Talk about owning the libs!
Bernie can’t even get a joke!
Trying to get that from the userer-in-chief is gonna be a nogo
Is Burnie trying to duck season rabbit season Trump? I'm actually curious to see if this works
Yeah. One never can tell which way old men with possible dementia will twitch.
Hell, maybe he'll have a stroke and wake up with integrity and a conscience. Weirder things have happened to nicer people, after all.
Who knows? Good things might happen while Trump golfs and rambles. Probably not, but it could theoretically happen.
We need to convince Trump that the way to win a legacy is to deliver something like universal health care. Present it as a display of personal power and his unique talents, and as a branding moment like no other (beyond Obamacare). 'The Democrats couldn't do it in 50 years, but I rammed it through in 2. Got the chair of Cigna on the phone and fired him personally. Now we all have Trumpcare and even Hillary has to praise it through gritted teeth...."
The GOP tied themselves so tightly to his star that they'd have to own the pivot, or find some way to retract their allegiance. And the rest of us could at least enjoy the historic worst-person-you-know-makes-a-greatipoint moment.
Bernie calling out bullshit yet again.
I know Bernie is being polite and playing politics, but let’s be honest: Trump keeping this promise is about as likely as Hell freezing over.
It's not polite, it's calling him out. Trump will say/lie about anything. At one point Trump said exactly this. He didn't mean it, he just said some shit.
Bernie is repeating his own words because occasionally Trump says something good without any intent to follow up.
So Bernie is taking him at his word. He knows Trump will never do it, but if he can call the hypocrite out and trick him into agreeing, why not?
To want to talk about 4D Chess? There it is.
Yeah I was gonna say this reads like "no balls"
I guess we'll see, but I think we can all appreciate his willingness to go straight to brass tacks and hold Trump's feet to the flame while the entire Democrat Party leadership is still busy clutching their pearls.
Somehow I don't think Mr "Pro-Business" will hamper banks' efforts to fleece us.
