Trump Asked About Naming a Socialist Running Mate; His Answer is Shocking, Disturbing #DonaldTrump #BernieSanders

The more nebulous the things he says, the easier it is to manipulate later.

It doesn't even have to be nebulous for him to walk it back. I am willing to bet that prettys one the wall will be a picket fence with a gate and a welcome mat.

Here's the exact exchange:

“The difference between Bernie and myself is I know how to make those trade deals fantastic and he doesn’t. He has no clue,” Trump added.

“But as your number two, he could watch and learn from you ,” panelist Nicolle Wallace said.

“He’s got too many things in the bag,” Trump replied.

Fairly read, isn't the bolded language functionally equivalent to a "no?".

Or better still, is his answer really the "shocking, disturbing" answer promised by the headline?

No, it is not a firm "no."  It's a bit of a deflection.  You have found nowhere where stumpy says plainly, "no."  That is what is shocking, that the alleged Republican nominee cannot unequivocally say "no" to a socialist/communist being his running mate.

Unless you see that both men are from slightly different wings of the Uniparty.   One is a socialist communist, the other is a national socialist.

I read the original article, in the Hill, and nowhere does stumpy say something like, "no, I couldn't select him as my running mate."  He calls it, "a great question," says he gets bigger crowds than sanders, says, "he's got too many things in the bag," but doesn't quite come out and say, "no."  I may have missed the direct quote where he says, "no."  Perhaps you can link to it.

Yep I had that one pegged also.  I was expecting it.  He has been courting Bernie for quite awhile.  And Democrats who don't want Hillary could easily be swayed.

Bernie Sanders is continuing his quest because he believes that Crooked Hillary Clinton will be forced out of the race - e-mail scandal!
