Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders hasn't decided whether he will run for president in 2020, but until the next presidential election, the former candidate is on a mission: Stop Donald Trump from hurting Americans.
"You know, and I am not a guy in politics who really likes to attack viciously my opponents. Its not my style. But I felt obliged during the campaign to say something that was just patently true, and that is that Trump is a pathological liar," Sanders said during in a Democracy Now! interview in late November that was released on Monday. "And, you know, I mean, he was sayingand the danger is, it may beyou know, everybody lies. You know youre lying. But I fear very much that he may be not even knowing that he lies."
Sanders said Trump's recent tweet that the election results reflected vote rigging could set a dangerous precedent, with people questioning future presidential contests. Sanders has previously called Trump a liar.
"But this statement, as I mentioned earlier, the danger of this statement is not just that it is delusional and incorrect, is that it setsif you have a president who believes that millions of people voted illegally, youre telling every Republican official in this country to suppress the vote, to make it harder for people to vote, whether they are immigrants, whether they are people of color, whether they are poor people, young people or old people. That is the danger of that statement. And thats something we have got to fight tooth and nail," Sanders said.
Sanders stopped short of calling Trump's supporters racist, something many of his critics have done because of the Republican's remarks vowing to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants, many of whom are Hispanic, and his pledge to ban Muslim travelers.

Please, please run Bernie.
Trump v Sanders would be the duel this nation has been towards.
Americanism v. Marxism.
It will be a defeat so heavy that it destroys the Marxists forever
He couldn't 'stop' Hillary and he thinks he can stop Donald?
HMMMmmm...
Very well said.
Bern how do you like your new summer house?
Another stupid trotzkist who keeps hating on capitalism while
Stalin
drives an pick in his head
This sanders lunatic needs to sit in his new lake house and ponder that he is worthless.
He wants to put a new deck on the lake house. :)
Trump’s performance will most determine if he is reelected/not. While Bernie doesn’t make me recoil on a personal level the way the 2016 Den candidate does, politically he’s too far left for me and I’m guessing the most of the country.
Clearly Sanders hasn’t yet figured out that he’s irrelevant.
The old socialist is probably just angling for another dacha.
“Bernie Sanders Is On A Mission To Stop The Donald”
He may have “High Hopes” but he won’t be hearing the liberal nutcase chorus sing, “OOps, there goes another Donald Trump.” It ain’t agonna happen like that, Bernie.
Oh my gosh, your 1 line says it all! Well done goldy.
lol
Berne Sanders is a bribed communist shill for Hildabeast Clinton: the very person he knows stole the primary election from him.
He couldn’t take down the “Hillary”, how will he take down the “Donald”?
He’s gonna say what he thinks about stuff. WOOOOOOOOO!
Personal responsibility? That’s dead white European male stuff.
The joke is on Bernie...the income taxes on lakefront property is a nightmare.
