Sanders urges Trump to rescind ‘unacceptable’ Bannon appointment

But the appointment of Mr Sanders to his new role was not expected. Welcome to the program.

As much as his supporters might disagree, Bernie Sanders is now officially part of the establishment – and he has his old Brooklyn friend to thank for it.

The populist strain in this year’s election troubles some, who fear that a desire for change at any cost will further divide the country. In 2015, Ellison anticipated Trump’s victory early in the Republican primary, only to have the punditry laugh smugly in his face on live television. For the sixth out of the last seven presidential elections, the Republicans lost the popular vote. “I come from the white working class, and I am deeply humiliated that the Democratic Party can not talk to where I came from”.

Asked if it was conceivable he could run for president in 2020, Sanders quipped it was “conceivable that I may fly to the moon”. Since then, the Republicans have controlled the House for all but four years. They have done phenomenally well over the past eight years in state legislatures around the country, in governor races.

In an op-ed piece in The New York Times, Sanders offered not to shut out the president-elect.

I think that people are saying, ‘Mr. During his speech, Sanders said he hopes to work with the president-elect on a number of issues, and called on Trump to rescind his decision to make Steve Bannon his chief strategist. “You got millions of people living in extraordinary economic anxiety and meanwhile the very richest people and largest corporations are doing phenomenally well”.

SANDERS: Well, it’s not a question of whether you, you know, refuse to accept it or you accept it.

Washington insiders and the corporate media were blindsided by Donald Trump’s victory because they have “little understanding” of Americans’ problems, Bernie Sanders said, adding that the USA may want to “rethink” the Electoral College.

“I believe that we have better ideas”. He calls for an executive order mandating a $15 an hour minimum wage for federal contractors, extensive reforms on Wall Street including a new Glass-Steagall Act, and $1 trillion in infrastructure spending.

Shahid went on to echo Ahmed’s statements: “The approach mimics that of the Tea Party”, the organizer explained, “which has used insurgent primary bids to unsettle establishment Republicans and drive the Republican Party rightward”.

No doubt many Democrats are wondering what hit them. Romney received 59% of the white vote and 27% of the Latino vote.

Sanders – the former Democratic candidate who has a well-documented involvement in the civil rights movements – said it’s now important for Trump’s critics to assert themselves following the election. “Mr. Trump, we are not going backwards in terms of bigotry”. She promoted government-run health care and free college tuition at a time of record-breaking deficits. “He made me a better person”. We’re going to educate. We’re going to have to – and what the political revolution is about. We are gonna have to raise public consciousness, we’re gonna have to, and what the political revolution is about – we’ve had some really good successes. Mr. Trump said throughout his campaign, a cornerstone of his campaign, he wants to change our disastrous trade policies.

Sanders: You know, it’s conceivable that I may fly to the moon.

You’ve got working mothers out there, who can not afford to pay 10, $15,000 a year for childcare. Why is it after working your whole life you can’t afford to send your kid to college?
