Bernie Sanders Warns Bill Maher That Donald Trump May Use Coronavirus Relief Money To Boost Chances

Bernie Sanders warned HBO Real Time host Bill Maher that it’s entirely possible that President Donald Trump will direct coronavirus relief money to states based on whether he needs to win them in the 2020 presidential race.

“If you think that during a campaign, you’re not going to see a lot of money from the Trump administration going to battleground states Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida, you would be grossly underestimating the venality of this president,” Sanders said from Burlington, VT, where he was connected by video chat to Maher, who returned this week to host his HBO from his Los Angeles home.

Maher had asked Sanders how he would “stop a president who send aid to Florida, because he likes the governor there, but not here to California or Illinois or Massachusetts.”

Sanders responded, “It is literally beyond comprehension. We have a president who has done so much harm in this entire process.”

Sanders said that Trump’s downplaying of the crisis “will cost us.”

Pretty much what he's been doing though I don't think Michigan or Pennsylvania have gotten shit yet.

Nevada is listed as a state that he lost last time that he thinks he might be able to flip. The secret for him to win here would be to find a way to suppress the Latino vote in Clark County. The rest of the state is conservative.

One of those things only everyone else figured out days ago at least....

"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."

"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

masks that were rotted.

Bernie's insights are no great revelation. We know trump is going to make money off of this. Especially when trump issued his signing statement.

Jesus christ people this is a big fucking deal and it seems like only a few Dem governors are saying this out loud. Democrats need to be screaming about this into every fucking reporter's microphone they come in contact with. This needs to be said in unison by all Democrats. But please keep focusing your ire on Sanders, who is certainly the real enemy.
