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

(8,760 posts)When Mexico sends its people, theyre not sending their best. Theyre not sending you. Theyre not sending you. Theyre sending people that have lots of problems, and theyre bringing those problems with us. Theyre bringing drugs. Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

(2,096 posts)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.

The former lost the battle, fled for his life, and ended up in Mexico with a pick ax in his noggin for his efforts.

(28,270 posts)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.
