RICHMOND, Virginia (AP) — Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has a new target for his barbs: Democratic contender Bernie Sanders.


The billionaire businessman said the self-described "democratic socialist" should instead be called a "socialist-slash-communist" and blamed him for pushing Hillary Rodham Clinton further to the left in her policy positions during Tuesday night's first Democratic debate.

"She's got to give everything away 'cause this maniac that was standing on her right is giving everything away, so she's following," he said, adding: "We have to be careful."

Today trump told a crowd that Sanders was a COMMUNIST.

Yes, it's 2015, and the GOP frontrunner is attacking the #2 dem, who is down by 20 points.

This, as Morning joe delivered all their opinions on just how badly Bernie Sanders Tripped up during the debate.   Weird, all those live focus groups preferred bernie.

now you have trump + NBC = worrking together to minimize all of the Hilary opposition.   yes, the CNBC lady even asked trump if he's ready to debate hilary in the general election.

Fox News focus group says Bernie Sanders won the debate

How many times on this board have Repubs reminded us how trustworthy Fox New is and how fair and balanced they really are

Would they say that just to convince people to vote for Bernie, as they believe he's the weaker candidate?

Still confused as to how the Republicans don't realize that Mitt would beat them all.

I hope and pray that Bernie isn't doing this simply to "get out the message" or to "start the conversation" or for any other reason but to kick asses and win.

The few seconds when kuntboy asked the capitalist question, and Bernie responded, was probably the most pivotal moment of his time (IF he is in it to win it).  Those few seconds were his introduction to everyone, and it struck me that he acted surprised when it happened.  It was the one time during the debate that he seemed flustered, and it was the absolute WORST time for him to be taken aback.

You know, Anderson Cooper is such a snarky little fem, I have to wonder if there's supposed to be some "talent" with him?  WTF is the story?

In 2012, Rush Limbaugh ran Operation Chaos, in which he set up hilary voting campaigns just to keep obama fighting longer, dragging it out.  Hilary had no path to victory, and her only defense is "what if something happened like in 1968..." which caught her lots of criticism. 

So yeah, it's normal for right-wing media to do this, support the underdog to drag it out.

Anyone know any specific reason or reasons why Republicans wouldn't support Webb over most (or all) of their own candidates?

Well it was 28 Dems picked by Frank Luntz so it certainly could be rigged or even just skewed toward Bernie

I have no doubt that's possible

"he's a communist!"

over and over.   trump called hilary's biggest threat a communist.  In 20 fcking 15.

he's calling americans communists.  Why?  Cause he wants hilary to have a smooth path to nomination.

Please, dont' deny it anymore, people.  Trump should be attacking the clear frontunner, hilary, not a fringe candidate running 20 points back.  It's odd at best, and coordinated at worst.

Jesse Ventura: Trump is ‘using words he doesn’t understand’ when he calls Bernie Sanders a Communist

[Las Vegas]

If Trump is looking to do what he says he is, then it's difficult to follow the logic in attacking Bernie atm.
