FOX News reports:
Bernie Sanders says Dems will ‘lose the election’ if they ‘become obsessed’ with Trump
Sen. Bernie Sanders doesn’t want Democrats to become “obsessed” with beating President Trump in the 2020 election.
Speaking to Jon Favreau on the podcast “Pod Save America,” Sanders, I-Vt., a 2020 Democratic presidential primary hopeful, admitted that it is difficult to ignore Trump’s controversial tweets, but argued that focusing on them and not the issues would almost guarantee that the current occupant of the White House remains there for another term.
‘[Y]ou cannot ignore Donald Trump and his tweets and his lies,” Sanders said. “But if you become obsessed with them, I guarantee you will lose the election.”
Sanders also criticized his fellow candidates for not shifting the focus of their campaigns to include young and working-class voters.

“The establishment hangs out with the wealthy and the comfortable and people in power and the establishment kind of forgets that as we speak there are millions of people living paycheck to paycheck, who can’t afford health care, who can’t–are paying 50 percent of their limited incomes on rent, who are scared to death about an illness in the family that might bankrupt them,” Sanders said.
Speaking of being obsessed with Trump, has Bernie seen his own Twitter feed?
Trump is a scam artist and a demagogue. He is using racism to divide working people and distract from his loyalty to billionaires and huge corporations. It won't work. The American people will come together and defeat this strategy of fomenting hate. https://t.co/mdaNqLR87i

Does Donald Trump want a war with Iran? Who knows? Nobody in the world knows what they'll do tomorrow. And given the confusion in this administration, it’s possible they may.
But this I do know: The United States Congress must do everything it can to prevent this war.
