Donald Trump is apparently so impressed with Sen. Bernie Sanders' attacks on Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary that he's planning to use some of the Vermont senator's lines himself.

"I'm gonna be taking a lot of things that Bernie said and using them," Trump said of his plan for the general election on MSNBC's Morning Joe Wednesday. "I can reread some of his speeches, I can get some very good material."

Trump says he's particularly interested in lifting Sanders' bits about how "essentially she has no right to even be running." "That she's got bad judgment," Trump said. "When he said 'bad judgment,' I said 'sound bite!'"
