Trump urges South Carolina Republicans to vote for Bernie Sanders

Last edited Sat Feb 29, 2020, 07:51 AM - Edit history (2)

Gee, I wonder why??? From the NY Post, for what it's worth:


President Trump is urging Republicans to vote in South Carolina’s Democratic primary on Saturday for the weakest candidate — determining that is Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

***

He asked audience members to cheer for the Democrat they’d prefer be his easiest-to-beat opponent — Sanders or former Vice President Joe Biden.

“I think maybe Crazy Bernie has it,” Trump said.

Asking one more time for his supporters to cheer for either former vice president Biden or Sanders, Trump confirmed: “They think Bernie’s easier to beat.”

I want Democrats picking our party’s nominee; not trump voters. Follow the rules of the party at the convention that Sanders signed off on and may the one with 50% + 1 win. As a Biden supporter, I don’t care if Biden has a plurality of votes. He needs 50 % + 1 to win after a second round.

Bernie has as strong a position as Biden. Sometimes worse, sometimes better.

Tanking with Democratic voters, either.

It’ll all come down to who would turn out the most support - young enthusiasts for all thing Bernie, or moderate “not trump” switch-overs”; & those
Who decide to just stay home.

All I know, I won’t let Putin or repubs determine who I’d vote for.
