https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/485249-trump-surveys-south-carolina-supporters-on-preferred-democratic-opponentThe president sought to take advantage of the state's open primary, which allows voters to cast a ballot without registering with a party.
"Are we allowed to tell them who we would like them to vote for?" Trump asked supporters during a rally in North Charleston, seeking his supporters' opinion on who "the best candidate for us" would be.

Trump then had supporters applaud for either Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) or former Vice President Joe Biden based on which one they felt would be an easier general election opponent. After two surveys of the crowd, Trump determined the crowd felt Sanders was the choice.

Which of course fits in perfectly with what we've already heard about SC Republicans planning to vote in our primary, for Sanders, because they believe he'll be easiest to beat.
But tonight Trump made sure his supporters were aware of that plan, and what he wants them to do.

It's dangerous to ever vote for the person you think will be the weakest opponent. He or she may win! I've crossed over and voted in the Republican primary a few times when there was no real choice for Democrats. I voted for the Republican I though would be best in the office.
