The real difference is that Sanders (like Hillary) wouldn't get anything past congress whereas Trump would, if only by publicly humiliating them.
Hell, he's probably already got some pretty funny nicknames ready for most of 'em.

If you think Trump coming up with a few funny nicknames for some Senators or Congressmen is going to get them to work with him you have no idea how the political system works.
Our current elected officials seem to take one thing into consideration when they make a decision and that is whether or not it will help or hurt their efforts to get re-elected.
