Trump Goes Full Populist

February 8, 2016 · 7:00 am ET · 4 Comments

Donald Trump is in “full populist mode” as he wraps up his New Hampshire campaign, Byron York reports.

“There were portions of Trump’s Plymouth speech that sounded like Bernie Sanders, if Sanders had Trump’s sense of showmanship. In fact, Trump mentioned Sanders favorably, saying they agree on trade. Trump also said Sanders is correct in his charge that Hillary Clinton is compromised by the big-money contributions she has accepted — a charge the billionaire developer aimed at his Republican rivals as well.”
