The Trump campaign is trying to program Bernie's supporters for resentment if Bernie doesn't win

It's transparent.

They are hoping that if Bernie doesn't win the nomination, they can get Bernie's supporters so upset at the process being "rigged" that they will sabotage the Democratic nominee.

Please tell me, Bernie supporters, that you aren't falling for this manipulation.

Most anyone with a horse in this race KNOWS that tRump must go. ANY of the Democratic candidates will be a hell of an improvement over the current occupant of the White House, and our nominee will have my full support. I'm quire sure the vast majority of supporters of all the other candidates realize that, and can see through the eighth grade bullshit tRump is trying to pull.

... was at it on FOX "News" - also, he was trying to say Booker not being a candidate was the Democrats shutting out African-Americans. Like he cares... I think most Democrats are not fooled by Trump's tactics.
