It's real. And it's spectacular.

It's not often that you catch a politician being so nakedly transparent about who he wants to face off against in an election. But wait until you see this:

You have to watch the full video to believe it.

Bernie Sanders is the preferred candidate of Donald Trump. He's the preferred candidate of Vladimir Putin. If he remains the preferred candidate of Democratic voters, they can't say they weren't warned.
