Sanders Statement on Trump Wednesday, November 9, 2016
BURLINGTON, Vt., Nov. 9 – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) issued the following statement Wednesday after Donald Trump was elected president of the United States:
“Donald Trump tapped into the anger of a declining middle class that is sick and tired of establishment economics, establishment politics and the establishment media. People are tired of working longer hours for lower wages, of seeing decent paying jobs go to China and other low-wage countries, of billionaires not paying any federal income taxes and of not being able to afford a college education for their kids - all while the very rich become much richer.
“To the degree that Mr. Trump is serious about pursuing policies that improve the lives of working families in this country, I and other progressives are prepared to work with him. To the degree that he pursues racist, sexist, xenophobic and anti-environment policies, we will vigorously oppose him.”
I suspect you ain't as smart as you want to believe you are.Popular vote does not matter. It is the genius of the system. Every state gets a say. If you used popular vote, soon if not now, NY, FL, IL, TX and CA voting massive for the same candidate could pick every POTUS going forward. If you're being sarcastic, I'm tired and missed it. If you're too ignorant to know why we're set-up that way, then I don't have time to educate you about the electoral college and how important it is to our system.
I LOATHED the Mike Pence pick and I was 100% wrong. That was a great pick.
That's proper pussy grabbing form right there.
Californian republicans stay home for elections, they're outnumbered enough they don't show up like they could. Trump was behind what 200k votes? More people voted in florida than California, bigger right turn out on the west coast would have won bothHillary got more popular votes. Shenanigans via Attorney General, hackers, which were just enough to edge her out. Instant rematch!
I'm English and I've been hooked on this election. I think trump will back up what he's saying something bush Obama and Clinton couldntdo
Change is good
Only Texas has language in their state constitution that allows an exit from the union on its own, other states would take an act of congress and a vote to be done, or a war.
I'm cool with cheaper health insurance and torturing bad guys.Obama is hurting the most right now! His legacy is gonna be undone! His political career: meaningless, his place in history: superceded.
