Trump Responds To Sanders Dropping Out, Shades Obama For Not Supporting Biden | NBC News NOW

[days]

He wasn't "Shading Obama" he was shading Biden... saying that something is so amiss with Biden that Obama hasn't already come out as supporting him.

[JD-zdtm]

The hesitation before ...."Sleepy Joe" ....is priceless

[trueboss]

Bernie: “I am suspending my campaign”
NBC: “Looks like Biden has a good chance being the Democratic nominee.”
Boe Jiden: “Who me?”

Trump is smart in the sense that he got a lot of Bernie fans on his side so he has never been completely nasty to him like the other candidates. He knows that Bernie has popular appeal in America. I have no idea how Biden managed to get the nomination though. Obviously a large population of America is still ignorant .

“He didn’t drop out though”

Holy crap this was the most aware and accurate he’s been for 4 years

[joelercoaster]

I’ve never seen him so happy 🙄he knows his path to reelection just got easier now that his only threat is gone smh

[spidrmike]

Trump out here trying to get Bernie supporters to vote for him😂

[spliter]

Bernie is like Jon Snow from Game of Thrones, once betrayed by his own people only to come back and lose to the disabled guy

[jefflibby]

Obama is not stupid he knows Biden is a bad risk.

[rockerrocker]

The way he says “sleepy joe” so nonchalantly is comical gold 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[andresjc]

This is why I watch trump cuz he makes me laugh af😹😹😹😹

[frankpowell]

I can't support Biden in good heart. I know I can't. At least we know what Trump is about. I'm not saying I'll vote for him, but if I do vote, it won't be for Joe.

[thomasrasch]

Obama will endorse whomever wins the nomination

[BrotherSantodes]

Weird how NBC is using a term like "shades" for this. Are they trying to sound cool or something?

[AdamTait-hyqh]

Well done, Dem moderates. You shat on Sanders supporters so hard, many will stay home. That will cost you the election, just like in 2016. So keep right on gloating, and keep on trolling Bernie supporters. No effort has been made by Dems to win over and include Sanders supporters, or even look at their policies. You and your media simply mocks them (without merit). In a democracy, that is a losing strategy. And so USA deserves Trump, and Trump it shall be.

Reap what you so, you numpty fools.

[heinz]

I literally don’t know 1 person backing Biden.

[primrosed]

Did NBC News actually put "Shades" in this title.

[overflow]

It’s Bernie or no one for me. Trump is second best choice from all available options.

[stormtrooper_kveasty]

You have my vote Trump. And im a Bernie supporter. Well, was. #demExit

[ssouthboundpachyderm]

I can’t believe NBC just used the phrase “shades Obama”, I’m getting too old
