Bernie Sanders has no patience for Trump: "Worst president in the history of the United States"

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., told Jordan Klepper on his Comedy Central show "The Opposition" that Donald Trump is "the worst president in the history of the United States."

The audience roared, but Sanders face remained serious. Klepper, who satirizes an alt-right, conspiracy-driven host, pushed back: "At least admit to him being the best at being the worst," he said.

"All right," Sanders replied. "I’ll grant you that."

Sanders is running for re-election in Vermont this year and emphasized the importance of the upcoming midterms. "It is imperative that we end one-party rule in Washington, where Republicans control the White House, the Senate and the House," he said.

Sanders added that 2018 is not about impeaching the president, but about "paying attention to the needs of working families in this country; stopping an agenda, which wants to throw up to 32 million people off of the health care they have, make massive cuts to medicare, medicaid, social security, disability, education and environmental protection — all the while, giving a billion dollars in tax breaks to the top one percent," he continued. "This election is among other things, stopping that agenda."

the RWNJs, using the power of twisted logic, argue that he was not the worst president ever because he was illegitimate and, therefore, never the president to begin with.

The only question is whether he runs again in 2020. I'm hopeful he will, but, regrettably, I think the odds are against it.

This years elections will make or break the D party.

whoever is president in 2020 won't matter at all if Republicans control Americas entire agenda in both Houses.

by 2020 majority of 'D' type voters will be living in poverty, no chance of a higher education.

This upcoming midterm election may be the most important election in our lifetimes, because we have the worst President in the history of the United States. It is imperative that we end one party rule in Washington where Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House.

2018 is about, for a start, is:
•paying attention to the needs of working families in this country

•stopping an agenda to throw up to 32 million people off of the health care that they are have

•make massive cuts to
•Medicare
•Medicaid
• Social Security
•Disability
•Education
•Environmental protection


•giving a *trillion dollars in tax breaks to the top 1%


This election is about, among other things, stopping that agenda."

Or Hillary’s. Sounds like any Democratic candidate. He should be hammering the process, not the results. When you divide the Democratic voters, this is the result. Not dividing Democrats is the lesson. That is what his focus should be. We already KNOW that Donald Trump is a farce.

Bernie’s message should be that — Look at what the Democrats offered you, and look how shallow and wrong opposing him was. I can remember weeks of negative coverage over Gore wearing khaki. Bernie’s message should be about staying united and not maligning Democrats to try and set himself apart. The lesson is to vote for Democrats.

to stop BLOTUS and his cruel racist, Wall Street agenda and, hopefully, to also impeach his ass for his crimes will drive people to the polls more than any get out the vote campaign ever could.

He's right about impeachment. If Democratic leadership didn't go after the BFEE for war crimes, its certainly not going after Drumpf for his many offenses.
