Recording of Trump from 2018
Thread about Bernie's strength with disaffected Obama-Trump voters, independents, non-voters, and others in the varied bloc that gave Trump his election win in 2016. The narrative for most of the primary has been that Bernie doesn't appeal to anybody except the far left, but the polls (reliable or not, so with a grain of salt) don't seem to bear that out. Trump realizes this, and realizes that part of his base is not the Republican right but the disaffected, less political, less partisan voters who haven't seen their lives improve under the political establishment of either party. Bernie captures that segment of the population according to most polls.
Donald Trump on leaked recording said:If Bernie would have been VP it would have been tougher...I got 20% of Bernie vote because of trade. He's a big trade guy...
Had she picked Bernie Sanders it would have been tougher. He is the only one I didn't want her to pick.
