Sanders: Trump convinced people he understood cause of economic woes
As the fallout on the US election continues, on the Sunday morning television shows in the US, much of the focus is on how the Democratic Party lost the election.
Senator Bernie Sanders has just been speaking with CNN, where he said the working class is angry, “and they have a reason to be angry”.
“We are living in an economy today now where the people on top are doing phenomenally well, while 60% of our people are living pay cheque to pay cheque,” Sanders, an independent, says
Sanders says what Trump did well in his campaign was say “I feel your pain. I know that you’re hurting, and I have an explanation”.
Sanders goes on to say Trump’s claims of economic woes being caused by millions of migrants crossing the border was “bogus”. He says corporate greed is the true reason and it must be tackled by politicians, saying the Democratic Party needs to listen to the working class.
