Trump Says Democrats Rigged Primary Against Bernie

President Trump is trying again to sew division among Democrats on Twitter, while possibly elevating the candidate he most wants to face.

Said Trump: “It is happening again to Crazy Bernie, just like last time, only far more obvious. They are taking the Democrat Nomination away from him, and there’s very little he can do. A Rigged System!”

6. He's so full of hatred. It's almost as if a person needs to take a cleansing

bath after hearing him speak, or even after reading his words.

Sadly, I just read that Bernie's support is up to 50% among college kids in a recent poll (though I haven't seen the poll, but it is a thread on here). But young people, who tend to be more progressive, like him. Ironic to me - you'd think they'd like Pete, but who knows why?

So, that's the plan: Bernie really will probably lose because the establishment and the big money are lined up against him. He scares the lizards on Wall Street, and the snakes in DoD, don't you know.

So, Trump, Bannon, Storm Front and the rest of the Republican-white-supremacist noise machine will echo this far and wide so that when he does lose, it might keep a bunch of younger people from voting. Sowing hate and division - that, Randy, is the REAL class war.

As it says on one signature line around here: They only call it class war when we fight back.

Plans within plans within plans, just like in that old sci-fi book Dune, with Trump and the Baron. But it ALL comes back to a few people fearing they might lose a little portion of their wealth and be kept from earning maximum profits off peoples' misery. Like in health care.

he knows that the only reason he won in 2016 is because of the damage that Sanders' candidacy did to Clinton's chances.

So why wouldn't trump think that Sanders' candidacy will help him win again this time?

Some of Bernie’s supporters remind me of Trump’s supporters. I’d likely feel more kindly toward Bernie if I could get past some of their antics
