Gotta be honest, when I saw #ITrustBernie trending I knew the tag would be worth covering because I knew it would be filled with a bunch of people who need to shower talking about how much free stuff Bernie is going to give them AND a bunch of Conservatives explaining how there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Which would, in turn, make the Bernie people cry and lash out.
You find when you’ve been writing about and covering Twitter for nearly four years (OMG WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE) that you get a feel for what you’re going to see on tags. And this one did not disappoint.
Why trust a career politician?
Why trust someone who said nobody should earn more than $1 million, became a millionaire, then changed it to billion?
Why trust someone who sympathized w communist regimes? https://t.co/mMdA3XD9eH

#ITrustBernie to always do what’s best for Bernie. He’s an absolute crook. He stands by nothing that he says he believes in. He spouts off for Socialism and gets rich off Capitalism.

Tough crowd.
#ITrustBernie to sell out his supporters just like he did in 2016 AND totally turn the country into a third world socialist hell hole.

Bernie is a millionaire career politician with 0 substantive accomplishments to his name. His 2016 campaign reportedly mistreated & underpaid women. Family investigated by FBI for bank fraud. Fan of USSR & Chavez & believed Venezuela was a model for the world. #ITrustBernie? Nah
