Trump is outraged over allegations Dem primary was rigged.

If you are standing with Trump, on ANY issue, then you may want to take a very close look at your own core values.

"President Trump also jumped on the controversy with a tweet on Thursday night that suggested the Justice Department should investigate the “real collusion and dishonesty,” even though Brazile and the Sanders campaign have not alleged criminal activity.

“Donna Brazile just stated the DNC RIGGED the system to illegally steal the Primary from Bernie Sanders,” he wrote.

Trump said in an interview with Fox News Channel broadcast Thursday night that the Brazile allegations are “a major story.”

“It’s illegal, number one, and it’s really very unfair to Bernie Sanders,” Trump told Fox host Laura Ingraham. “I thought that was terrible.”"

favored candidate of the DNC. The RULES were the same. Hillary lost because Hillary got less votes in 2008.

2016. Bernie lost because Bernie got less votes in 2016. No one lost for any other reason. There was no rigging. If Sanders had gotten more votes he would have won, he DIDN'T

But there are a lot of Bernie or Bust voters, particularly young folks, who will be pushed further away from the Democratic Party because of this nonsense. And even Trump, as dumb as he is, knows it.
