"Bernie Sanders Takes On Trump Over Drought And Climate Change"

"Bernie Sanders, traipsing across far-flung regions of California as he seeks a comeback victory here next week, swatted at likely Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for minimizing the state’s water shortage and the effects of climate change.

'The people of California perceive that there was a drought here, and Donald has come to tell you that you’re wrong,'Sanders said. 'You thought there was a drought, but Donald, who has studied this issue intensely for decades, has reached the conclusion there is no drought.'

Speaking to a crowd of more than 9,000 on the campus of UC Davis, Sanders sounded familiar themes about income inequality, broken criminal justice and campaign finance systems, the predatory nature of student loans and the need for universal health care and expanded Social Security."
