Trump bashes Sanders in new ad: 'Bernie can't even defend his microphone. How will he defend the country?'
Donald Trump's latest ad makes it pretty clear that he has zero faith in Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-Vt.) ability to lead the country. In order to "make America great again," Trump says that we need a "tough, strong leader" — not one who can't even hold onto his microphone.
The Trump ad flashes news segments highlighting the threats of ISIS and terrorism, followed by footage of Sanders being interrupted by Black Lives Matter activists during a speech this summer in Seattle.
"Bernie can't even defend his microphone. How will he defend the country?" the ad asks. Watch it in full below. Becca Stanek
