'They may hate democratic socialism because it benefits working people, but they absolutely love corporate socialism that enriches Trump and other billionaires,' Bernie Sanders said Wednesday.
John Fritze, Aamer Madhani and Nicholas WuWASHINGTON – As Sen. Bernie Sanders doubled down on his agenda of democratic socialism during a major address Wednesday the presidential candidate was doing more than defending a label that remains highly controversial in U.S. politics.President Donald Trump has sought to cast the entire Democratic field as"socialist" and some centrist Democrats are distancing themselves from policies such as government-run health care.
Sterlin Waters, a 21-year-old George Washington University student from Florida who attended the speech, said Sanders “made great points” but that he is going to wait to make a decision on a candidate. Most of all, he said, he wants Trump “out.” Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders speaks to audience members during a campaign stop at Grand River Center in Dubuque, Iowa, Sunday, June 9, 2019."The Democrat party is really now the socialist party," Trump told Republicans in Iowa on Tuesday, hitting a theme he returned to several times. "We've never done better and it's really easy as a socialist to say, when you're doing well, let's do this.
President Donald Trump speaks at Southwest Iowa Renewable Energy in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Tuesday, June 11, 2019.During the 2016 Democratic primary, Hillary Clinton also sought to use the S-word against Sanders, indicating she had heard from party officials who were"concerned" about the Vermont senators' policies. Clinton, who ran as a centrist, won the nomination but it was Sanders who fired up much of the Democratic base.
