Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) told Jimmy Fallon that Trump’s anti-Muslim “crap” will not be tolerated in America on Tuesday night.
“Throughout history we’ve had the demagogues trying to divert attention away from the real issues,” Sanders said on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” citing climate change, corrupt campaign finance laws and a disappearing middle class.
“What somebody like Trump is trying to do is to divide us up,” Sanders said. “A few months ago we were supposed to hate Mexicans, and he thinks they are all criminals and rapists. And now we are supposed to hate Muslims, and that kind of crap is not going to work in the United States of America.”
Watch the exchange, from NBC, below:
Demagoguery doesn’t work, has no staying power, isn’t paid attention to and embraced by millions of Americans?
Rush Limbaugh puts Sanders’ assertion on shaky ground.
It always has before. What’s different? 2015, not about black people, what?
“Crap” is too mild a word, but Bernie rightly describes what Trump has been doing. Although, I don’t think Trump’s primary interest is to divert attention from the real issues… because the clown doesn’t give a shit to what are at issues in the first place, zero interest there. He just says whatever that puts him center in the spotlight.
I’m not sure either exactly what Bernie means by saying it “is not going to work.” Does he mean Trump won’t be the next Prez? Or does he mean it won’t get any traction? Or what?
I can understand the out-of-body sense that Trump provokes - “Not in my country” - but it is working and will continue to work as long as there is an “Il Douché” to lead them. Trump didn’t invent any of this, he just gave it a name.
I haven’t got anything to say about Bern but on another topic Josh is correct. The fascist Big Door is most comparable to is Mussolini.
Take a look at Il Duce’s speeches. Look at his delivery. It’s more melodramatic than Trump but the outlook is the same. That is if you HAVE to tag Big Door as a fascist in the first place. Personally, I think THIS is more like him:
