Bernie Sanders's Thoughts on Trump Supporters

Bernie Sanders Has a Solid Solution to Winning Over Trump Supporters

If anyone knows how to make a Trump supporter question their stance, it's Bernie Sanders. The current Democratic senator of Vermont recently offered his solution to winning over Trump voters in future elections and also shared how he believes Democrats can regain majority in the House of Representatives and in the United States Senate. Read on for some highlights from Sanders's outspoken interview with The Huffington Post.

On the only way all Americans can win with Trump as president: "When millions of people stand up, especially in states that Trump carried, and say 'Excuse me, we did not elect you to be president to throw us off healthcare. We did not elect you to be president to cut back on the childcare that we desperately need.'"

On why he believes Democratic agendas over the last 20 years have been a "failure": "The model the Democrats have followed for the last 10 to 20 years has been an ultimate failure. That's just the objective evidence. We are taking on a right-wing extremist party whose agenda is opposed time after time and on issue after issue by the vast majority of the American people. Yet we have lost the White House, the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate, almost two-thirds of the governors' chairs and close to 900 legislative seats across this country. How can anyone not conclude that the Democratic agenda and approach has been a failure?"
