[I]"I think he is going to sell out the middle class and the working class of this country," Sanders said of Trump.[/I]
[quote]
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said Sunday that President Donald Trump is "a fraud" and is working with Wall Street as he looks to roll back some banking regulations.
"It is hard not to laugh, to see President Trump alongside these Wall Street guys. I have to say this, Jake, and I don't mean to be disrespectful, this guy is a fraud," Sanders told host Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union."
Sanders criticized Trump for appointing "all of these billionaires" to his Cabinet, and singled out his major financial adviser, who comes from Goldman Sachs.
The Vermont senator said that during his campaign, Trump said he would not cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid but "then he appoints all of these guys who are precisely going to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid."
"Man, this guy, he's a good showman, I'll give him that. He's a good TV guy," said Sanders, who battled Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary before endorsing her. Sanders' campaign was based on attacking the nation's dominant financial interests and income inequality, among other things.
"I think he is going to sell out the middle class and the working class of this country," Sanders continued. "He told us, in fact, it's in the Republican platform, he's going to bring back Glass-Steagall, we're going to be dividing up commercial banks from investment banks to insurance companies. Then he has all of the big Wall Street guys on his side, and now he is working for Wall Street."

Angry Bernie best Bernie.
I hope this gives more politicians the courage to call out Trump for what he is. So far everyone has been choosing their words carefully so as to not make rash claims, but rash claims are exactly what we need to erode what confidence is left in the guy. The more people that call him out, the less support the GOP will be willing to give him, even if all the criticism is from the left.
Save America, and the world, in 2020, Bernie.
We need more politicians with this man's honesty.

I want him to do his best too, but he's just too old. It's best he passes the torch to a sensible Democrat candidate, and does his best to get them into the Oval Office in the next elections. For, if Trump wins again, the damage will never be undone in our lifetimes.

I'll leave it up to medical professionals and himself to determine if he's too old.

If Trump wins again no one will be able to undo his damage. Well, him and cabinet.
Save the world NOW, not later.

Minnesota has a few good Dems that could make a push for office
You want a killer 2020 combo - Tulsi Gabbard endorsed by Sanders.
Just watching that video in the OP made me sad thinking what could have been.

Sanders/Tulsi 2020?
NOW they give sanders air time
I think I like the idea of having Tulsi Gabbard as a candidate. She appears to have healthy, progressive stances on a lot of subjects, for one thing.
is sanders not as prez then atleast vice prez

being 80 years old in 2020 is a huge problem, the job, especially one which entails cleaning up Trump's mess, would have a good chance of probably killing him. He'll need one really good VP to stand a chance.
I bet Trump is just a robot being controlled by a cochroach.

trump will be 74 by then, bernie will be 78, its not that much different

Sanders is going to be fucking ancient in 2020, even VP might be too much.
Now. If we could put him in a robot body however...
People forgetting that his older brother, Larry Sanders, is 82 years old and still in politics.
Sanders family genealogy is pure.
Sanders/Tulsi 2020
If Sanders croaks then Tulsi can take the reins.

Doesn't he live the UK?
America wouldn't deserve anyone like Sanders anyway. Trump is what you get. Trump is what you deserve.

Just being in politics and being president are two entirely different sets of stressors

yea, bernie should have just given up/gone against hillary and let trump take the presidency extremely easily. Mate, politics doesn't work like that.

Its didnt stop Hillary and Trump (and also majority others candidates from Democratic/Republican/Third Parties) from running President because both their age are closely to Sanders. And there no Amendment for stopping an older person over 75 to run for president.
But only thing what age its limited point for not running as president unofficially its 85.
I like almost everything about Bernie except for a couple things, his views on nuclear energy and gun rights. Other than that, he's a great guy. That's why I look towards the positives on Trump which isn't much though. The whole suppressor thing is great and def. happening but hopefully we'll also repeal the NFA and the Hughes Amendment.
