Bernie's Campaign Manager Says Donald Trump 'Speaks the Truth' When He Attacks Hillary

Bernie's Campaign Manager Says Donald Trump 'Speaks the Truth' When He Attacks Hillary
Jeff Weaver's not so great at that whole spokesman thing.
TOMMY CHRISTOPHER 17 HOURS AGO

Jeff Weaver had a really weird way of defending Bernie Sanders over the charge that Donald Trump is using Bernie's attack lines against Hillary: they're true!

....after the Sanders' campaign folds. Trump wouldn't have him. Before he joined Sanders campaign he was running his newly opened comic book store, Victory Comics in Falls Church, Virginia.

I think that it absolutely fitting that Sanders chose a comic store manager to run his campaign. Super hero comics and Sanders' campaign both are known for their surreal qualities.

Trump has never spoken the truth, unless it was by accident. Everything that comes out of that man's mouth is a lie.

attacks are good, WTH, his campaign is not reasonable. Weaver ain't Karl Rove, a long way from it.

They have done nothing but ridicule, attack and blame the Democratic Party for their woes and then when it became very clear that they had ZERO chance at the nomination, they started doing the work for the Republicans.

It was a con all along.

They want to wreck the party, help Trump win,(because he brings the revolution) then pick up the pieces and start a new party out of the ashes.

I hope it doesn't work or this country is done. Trump in the oval office will be a nightmare for this country and the world in general.

" and then when it became very clear that they had ZERO chance at the nomination, they started doing the work for the Republicans."


I'm hoping the behavior of Bernie's supporters and his lame response at the Nevada convention hurts Trump as he's adopted the 'Bernie is a victim' meme to keep them angry and "not voting", voting third party", or "voting for Trump".
I hope the tactics of Sanders and his supporters, and the negativity they brought upon themselves by whining about rigging and election fraud and changing rules , back fires and people shut their ears to them as they try and destroy Hillary and help Trump.

It has reached the stage that if they can't win, they they will try and take the Democratic party down with them. There are a lot of very important lessons to be learned from this primary, and the revelation that Sanders is not the person a lot us thought he was

down the toilet by taking Trump's side against our nominee.

A real leader would never, EVER, allow this crap to stand. Weaver is supposed to be his campaign manager, not his puppeteer. So far, though, I'm hearing...crickets. Anyone hear anything else?
