Bernie Sanders Doesn’t Appreciate Your Donald Trump Comparisons

Thanks in large part to timing, Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has been paired with celebrity plutocrat Donald Trump in political analyses, as both are surging candidates representing fringe slices of their respective bases. (That one is a respected senator and the other a blowhard dilettante is apparently a subject for another day.)

On Meet the Press Sunday morning, Sanders dismissed the comparison.

“The chord we are touching all over this country is that people are profoundly disgusted with the economics that make the richest people richer and everybody else poorer,” he told host Chuck Todd. “They are profoundly angered and disturbed by a political campaign system that allows billionaires to buy elections because of this disastrous campaign finance system called Citizens United.”

They do both say “hyooge” the same.
