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!

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

Donald Trump

I agree with Weaver. Trump is trying to appeal to Sanders voters and he's using what Sanders said about Clinton. Anyone who has been involved in politics shouldn't be surprised that this happened. The fact that Clinton supporters expect Weaver to spin this rather than tell the truth says more about them then it does about Weaver.

Horseshoe theory

The horseshoe theory in political science asserts that rather than the far left and the far right being at opposite and opposing ends of a linear political continuum, they in fact closely resemble one another, much like the ends of a horseshoe.

Half of his staff thinks he is harming the party and want him to stop, while the other half seems to want to scorch the earth.

The latter wanted revolution in one country so the Soviet Union could get its act together before they exported their revolution. The former wanted a world wide revolution. The former lost the battle, fled for his life, and ended up in Mexico with a pick ax in his noggin for his efforts.

after all the BS he's done and said against them.

Hes on a scorched earth campaign to do as much damage to the party and Hillary as possible.

A person has to be willfully ignorant not to see this now!

His damn campaign manager is publicly siding with Trump now!

The plan is to take this circus to the dem convention in Philly and turn it into a replay of the Nevada bro riot, inside and out.
