Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) admitted Wednesday that he is rooting for Donald Trump to win the Republican nomination.
During a CNN town-hall event, Sanders told moderator Anderson Cooper that he liked his odds against the real-estate mogul.
"Frankly, I'm prejudiced: I want Trump to win the Republican nomination," Sanders said. "I would love the opportunity to run against him. I think we'd win."
Sanders pointed out earlier in the night that some hypothetical head-to-head matchups showed Sanders in a better position than his rival Hillary Clinton to defeat Trump in the general election.
The Vermont senator railed against Trump during Wednesday's town hall. He criticized the tycoon for his plan to deport the approximately 11 million immigrants living in the US without permission, as well as his plan to ban many Muslim tourists and immigrants from entering the US.
"It is not only his bigoted remarks against Latinos, suggesting Mexicans coming into this country are rapists or drug dealers. Or his absurd remark that we should not let Muslims into this country," Sanders said.
Sanders also mocked Trump for his views on wages and climate change.

This old fart is a self proclaimed socialist folks. Are things really that bad that we need to worry about him?
Yes yes. People are drinking the kool aid. I'm scared.
Well, Bernie, count the number of illegals coming from the south ARE rapists, murderers, drug dealers and white slavers, then come back to us with a response.
Bernie Sanders honeymooned in communist Russia back in the day. Think that says a lot about his mind set.
