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.”

Fantastic statement.

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 suspect you ain't as smart as you want to believe you are.

So many of the states electoral votes were taken by the slightest margins. Shenanigans made a difference, as did lame-o hipsters voting for fringe weed candidates.

I LOATHED the Mike Pence pick and I was 100% wrong. That was a great pick.

What made you loathe him and what made you change your mind?

That's proper pussy grabbing form right there.

Hillary got more popular votes. Shenanigans via Attorney General, hackers, which were just enough to edge her out. Instant rematch!

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 both

CNN topping MSNBC with ridiculous hyperbole. Impressive.

At least 7 different cities with anti-Trump protests.

My British brother. First UK's Brexit, now America's Brexit. The world is indeed looking up.

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.

Brexit occured because when the predecessor of the EU was formed they wrote in language that allowed a peaceful exit from that union.

Obama is hurting the most right now! His legacy is gonna be undone! His political career: meaningless, his place in history: superceded.

I'm cool with cheaper health insurance and torturing bad guys.
