Sanders: Bigots Are ‘Very Small Minority’ of Trump Voters
Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.to be your president may be a little anxious.
Sanders acknowledged that change is needed in the Democratic party.
The Vermont Senator, who challenged Hillary Clinton to be the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, has been elected chair of outreach. They think that they’re going to be able to control Bernie Sanders as a little puppet. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who was elected Today to be the new Senate minority leader, made a decision to extend leadership in the Democratic party by three additional roles.
What does that mean, exactly? “I’m excited about it, but how we go about it, I don’t know”.
Even by the normal standards of postelection schadenfreude, it is hard not to be agog at the spectacle of Democrats trying to figure out what hit them and what to do about it.
Americans are better off today than they were eight years ago before President Barack Obama took office, Sen.
‘I think what we are seeing all over this country is extraordinary fear about a president who in his career before he ran for president led the so-called birther movement, which was a racist movement to undermine the legitimacy of our first African-American president, ‘ Sanders said.
“I spoke in 46 states in this country and what I saw was incredible”, Sanders told Colbert. It takes place when millions of working people, young people and senior citizens come together to demand that our government works for all of us and not just the 1%.
This ignores many serious red flags, namely that Trump’s transition team, including Steve Bannon and advisers like Kris Klobach, not to mention Mike Pence, have enormous influence over him, and are not huge fans of protecting the poor or disenfranchised.
“Trump’s views are a minority”, Sanders explained, citing policies from his own platform that do not align with the President-elect’s.
Sanders’ popularity was on display Wednesday night.
But when asked Thursday, Sanders said he didn’t know, and it didn’t matter. “We are going to stand up to the establishment”, he said. “Right now the country is facing enormous crises” of income inequality and rising unemployment, Sanders said, that merit more concern.
If indeed America is worth it, the Democrats will need to fight overtime, and already some are simultaneously denouncing Trump’s hateful rhetoric while pledging to work with him on trade and infrastructure.
Sanders has received 56 percent of the vote for the White House, while Trump would have won 44 percent, according to the national survey conducted by Gravis Marketing two days before the November 8 presidential election. The move has drawn ire from critics who say Bannon is racist, sexist and anti-Semitic. “He’s right”, Sanders said Thursday at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. One is to reinstate the Glass-Steagall banking rules.
He also seemed optimistic about working with Trump to reinstate the Glass Steagall bank regulations in some form, though he again noted that it’s unclear whether Trump will stick to that promise. Sanders went from polling in single-digits against Clinton to scoring a series of primary wins. In this capacity, Sanders will be tasked with reaching out to blue-collar voters who supported President-elect Donald Trump, The Hill reported.
Sanders also said he hoped Trump would apologize for some of the divisive language he helped fuel on the campaign trail. That’s what we look forward to seeing from you. Sanders promised that he and other members of Congress will hold Trump to his words.
