Trump blaming Sanders for rally troubles

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump is blaming Bernie Sanders’ supporters for trouble at his rallies.

And that’s prompting him to go after the Vermont Democratic senator.

In his Kansas City, Missouri, rally, Trump referred to “Bernie our communist friend” and called him a “lousy” senator.

Indeed, some signs for Sanders have shown up at the protests but there’s no indication of an organized effort from his Democratic campaign to undermine him and no evidence that Sanders people are dominating the demonstrations.

Trump says he’s seen some Hillary Clinton signs, too.

Trump seemed to relish the interruptions from protesters, at Saturday night’s rally he repeatedly ridiculed them — as people with a “little weak voice” and saying “go home to mommy.”
