I've got a challenge for Mr. Trump: Keep your damn promises. Get on the phone today. Tell Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan you will veto any legislation that will cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Do it now.

8. 👆👆👆no way to shame trump

Good on Bernie though👍

[ancianita]

4. Trump doesn't even honor his contracts, nevermind his word.

Sanders actually expects that this con man can be reminded, shamed or provoked into keeping his word.

Sanders is too good for this government. I'm glad he exists and persists. He has courage, strength and hope that makes real leadership.

5. All the Democrats

Need to post these chart quotes on their websites.

Need to say these quotes over and over in speeches and on media.

Be killing two birds with one stone: Fight Trump and protect our benefits, damn it.

11. Good luck with that, Bernie.

Bernie should know by now that Trump is a pathological liar. He never intended to keep those promises, just like he never intended to uphold the Constitution. We all knew what Trump was like before he started his campaign. He's always been a liar, a cheat, and an egomaniac. A leopard doesn't change it's spots, and Trump doesn't keep his promises.

12. In the quote from December 5, 2011

Trump sounds lucid and thoughtful. Before he deteriorated into the worst kind of bellicose populist. Before dementia or whatever brain disorder he is suffering from.

14. A Weekend with Bernie

I followed Bernie Sanders as he went to Ohio and explained to crowds how Democrats could win back Trump voters.

Excerpt:

"It is clear that there is an element of Trump supporters who are racists, sexists, homophobes, and there’s nothing I’m going to say that’s going to appeal to them," he said. "But I think that the vast majority of Trump supporters are people who are in pain, who are struggling economically, who are worried to death that their kids are going to be in even worse shape economically than they are, and they turned to Trump because Trump said things that made sense. He said he was going to take on the establishment and he was going to provide healthcare to everybody. You know what, it’s pretty much what I said."

The difference, of course, is that Sanders seems to have a plan to provide benefits like health insurance to large swathes of Americans. The question—which may not be answered until 2020—is whether Trump spoke to those voters because of his vague populist promises or because of his willingness to embrace the nastiest aspects of the culture war.

Sanders, evidently, thinks that it's the former. He has obvious compassion for subsection of Trump supporters, an undeniably practical perspective to have—while some on the left might be giddy about writing off the 62,979,879 Americans who voted for the guy, Sanders wants to win them over with his populist, anti-elitist platform.

15. Where is the guy from December 2011? Not the same person.

The GOP has opted for a Dementia ridden narcissist and pathological liar to destroy America.

his whole career.

I notice the usual Bernie haters are silent. I expected at least some kind of snarky comment.

I am really disappointed with him for joining in the calls for franken to resign
