Donald Trump Admits He's Afraid Of Bernie Sanders

A recent ninety minute recording of a meeting President Donald Trump had with Lev Parnas - an American businessman who is currently under fire regarding the Trump-Ukraine situation for allegedly surveilling and making threats against the US Ambassador to Ukraine - has been leaked and one of the topics they discussed was the 2016 election and Bernie Sanders.

During the conversation, which was recorded in 2018, there was a segment regarding the 2016 election and Hillary Clinton's VP pick, which we now know was Tim Kaine.

The recording starts off by one of Trump's guests stating: "They rigged it, Bernie would have beaten Hillary" to which another guest agreed because their wasn't the same level of public repudiation towards Bernie Sanders as there is towards Clinton. More can be heard, as another guest saying that "millenials were right there for Bernie".

Now in jumps Donald Trump to state that: "If Bernie would have been Vice President, it would have been tougher, it was because of all those people that hated her so much voted for me. I got 20% of the Bernie vote because of trade, because he's a big trade guy. He basically says we're getting screwed on trade and he's right. Now, I'm worse than he is." Trump continued and dropped this bombshell: "If she had picked Bernie Sanders it would have been tougher. He was the only one I didn't want her to pick!"

Trump continues to worry about Sanders as he's heard asking about if Sanders is running again in 2020: "Is he, uhh, going to be running again?" To which his guests claim that they aren't sure, Trump states the he thinks Bernie will run again because "when they [politicians] do a lot of television it usually means they're running."

At this point they start to mention Joe Biden and one guest is heard saying "I hope Biden runs!" and they all laugh as they know that he would be much easier to beat than Bernie Sanders would be. Although conventional political wisdom suggests that a moderate like Biden would be best suited to defeat President Trump because of the vague notion of 'unity', this isn't really displayed in the polls however. Sanders enjoys a much larger lead than any of the other candidates against Trump, even in deep red Republican states and has a huge lead of over 10% with independent voters - this is exactly why Trump is terrified of Bernie Sanders.

MSNBC Host Lawrence O'Donnell Explains How The Democratic Party Treats The Left

MSNBC's "The Last Word" host Lawrence O'Donnell describes his politics as a "practical European socialist", which essentially boils down to being a nordic-style social democrat, usually in favour of a mixed economy with a generous welfare state and has defended his positions on MSNBC news shows that typically frown upon stepping outside the neoliberal bubble. O'Donnell is no progressive hero in the context of american politics, sometimes scolding progressive politicians whenever they mildly criticize the Democratic Party, such as when Bernie Sanders tweeted about having to take on the Democratic establishment as well as Republicans, O'Donnell decided to concern troll Sanders by claiming that the Democratic establishment wouldn't pass Sanders' proposals if he wasn't nice to them. Over the course of the last few months an old video of O'Donnell explaining how to move the Democratic Party further left and how the party treats the p...

MSNBC News Caught Faking Poll Numbers To Elevate Biden Above Bernie Sanders

If you were to believe recent polling figures in regards to the Democratic Primaries, Joe Biden is by far and away one of the most popular political figures in America, with his 2020 poll numbers giving him a 37 and 32 point lead over Bernie Sanders in the recent past. There has however been issues with some of the polls that have been undertaken and given Joe Biden his huge lead, such as the one pictured above, which shows Bernie leading Biden by 2% (27%-25%) among non-white voters, but you wouldn’t know that if you watched the MSNBC segment regarding the poll, in which Biden magically gains three percentage points in order to go ahead of Bernie in these demographics. Here’s another poll (CNN) that was used in order to show Sanders “plummeting support” and as you can see the poll includes zero respondents of anyone under the age of fifty. The problem being that Sanders base of support is largely made up of younger voters, so to not include any in a poll on Sanders is simply di...

Why The Labour Party Lost The UK Election

Whichever way you approach the recent UK election, it would be fair to say that the Labour Party experienced a drubbing, resulting in a loss of 60 seats and handing the Conservative Party a large parliamentary majority. There has however been a fierce debate surrounding the reasons for Labour’s defeat, reasons ranging from Brexit, Jeremy Corbyn himself or supposedly racist voters. This debate has deeply spilt the two main factions of the Labour Party, between moderates and progressives. Blairites vs Corbynistas if you will. Moderates place the blame solely at the feet of Jeremy Corbyn, his supposed anti-semitism and poor electability. Progressives see this defeat as a result of a Brexit backlash with many Leave voters leaving the Labour Party while the Conservative Party had one core message: “Get Brexit Done” which seemingly resonated. It is fair to suggest that Corbyn’s popularity isn’t exactly soaring, with the mere mention of his name bringing about a whole range of different...
