Bernie Sanders is More Popular Than Trump in Europe, Too

I'm glad that he is reaffirming one of our closest allies.

Bernie doesn't represent Americans. He couldn't even win the Democratic nomination. Who is he to speak for Americans?

I could care less what Bernie says or thinks. I agree with him on virtually nothing. I suspect millions of Americans feel the same. Pretty arrogant of him to assume he has authority to speak to the values of the majority of Americans.

Neither did Obama or Hillary. Not sure many Politicians in high Power really speak for Americans in general.

Well Bernie is a socialist after all so he fits right in with many european countries.

The thing is he does not represent America and neither does Trump.

I would add that the party he joined to run for president doesn't win elections and controls nothing.

Lost even more respect for Bernie after this short clip. And social justice? Racial justice? Some of these liberals act like the civil rights movement never even happened. Actually Trump represents the overall values of a LOT of Americans. How did he win the election if he didn't? He certainly represents America more than the socialist wimp Sanders. And besides, why would we need to win some seal of approval from Germany or any other country? Reminds me of a guy walking up to a girl and saying "You like me right? Trust me I'm actually really nice. I think I'm going to like the same things as you do!" Its pretty weak and pathetic. Not worthy of respect.

He speaks for more Americans than Trump does.

Well since Trump lost the popular vote, I think it is safe to say that Trump doesn't speak for most Americans.

Bernie represents the values of a LOT of Americans also. Neither he nor Trump can however claim they represent a MAJORITY. Trump won the electoral college to become president but he couldn't even get a PLURALITY of the voters on election day.
