Trump warns Sanders he is being cheated again

The Democratic Party is again trying to manipulate its presidential primary elections, President Donald Trump suggested in a two-part tweet on Saturday night.

“The Democratic National Committee, sometimes referred to as the DNC, is again working its magic in its quest to destroy Crazy Bernie Sanders....,” the president began, following those remarks with: “....for the more traditional, but not very bright, Sleepy Joe Biden. Here we go again Bernie, but this time please show a little more anger and indignation when you get screwed!“

Sanders, whom Trump frequently refers to as “Crazy Bernie,” doesn’t usually get Trump‘s sympathy or support, except when the president is implying that Democrats are doing inappropriate things to keep him away from the party’s presidential nomination. It was a common refrain by Trump both during and after Sanders’ battle with Hillary Clinton. “Bernie Sanders supporters have every right to be apoplectic of the complete theft of the Dem primary by Crooked Hillary!,” he tweeted in November 2017.

I voted for Bernie then Hillary. I will agree that many people were fooled by Russian trolls and bots and stayed home, but I can't imagine very many Bernie people voting for Trump, he is the complete opposite of Bernie.

There were hard feelings from the primary and I'm glad that we don't allow rehashing of that. IMO, Russia stole the election from Hillary, by propaganda, having people stay home, and by flipping votes in the machines.

Look at the election vote totals. Trump didn't get that many overall votes which tells me that he won because Democrats stayed home.

That said, the divisiveness that Trump is abetting could destroy our chances in 2020 if we aren't smart.

So, how DO we avoid the divisiveness that Trump and his ilk want to sow? We can't deny that it is there.

20. Attempting to Split Democrats
Sun Apr 28, 2019, 10:27 AM
Apr 2019

Donald Trump does not believe Bernie Sanders is being cheated out of the Democratic Presidential nomination. Likely, he did not think Bernie Sanders was being cheated, or was cheated during the 2016 Democratic primary. As in 2016, this is just an attempt to split Democrats. Trump and his supporters are hoping they can make it harder the Democratic nominee if Sanders supporters can be angered due to thanking that Bernie Sanders was cheated out of the nomination.

It has severely curtailed super-delegates and is doing a fine job of recruiting younger, enthusiastic candidates in all 50 states. There is a reason we don't rehash the last primary, it's over, Hillary got the most votes regardless, it's time to move on, and that's what the DNC did.
