From Robert Reich's blog post today. Quote:
Bernie is taking on Trump. On Sunday, during an appearance on “Face
the Nation,” Bernie said he’d to a better job representing the economic
interests of Trump’s middle-class and blue-collar followers, because
Trump opposes raising the minimum wage and supports tax cuts for
higher-income earners. At a rally Sunday night in Las Vegas, Bernie
noted that “there are people out there, Donald Trump and others, who are
attempting to do what demagogues have always done, and that is instead
of bringing people together to address and solve the real problems that
we face, what they try to do is tap the anger and the frustration that
people are feeling and then divide us up. So we have a message to Trump
and all the others out there who want to divide us up: No, we’re not
going to hate Latinos, we’re not going to hate Muslims, we are going to
stand together.”
Yesterday, Trump shot back on Twitter. “Strange,
but I see wacko Bernie Sanders’ allies coming over to me because I’m
lowering taxes, while he will double and triple them. A disaster!”
Bernie fired back, saying Trump is pushing “pathetic policies” designed
to benefit billionaires such as Trump at the expense of misguided
working-class voters who support him. “Being called wacko by a
pathological liar like Mr. Trump makes me think he is getting nervous
that the American people are catching on to his pathetic policies, which
include giving hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks to
billionaires like himself while refusing to raise the $7.25 an hour
minimum wage.”
Donald Trump represents everything that’s wrong with America, and with American politics. Bernie is the exact opposite.
