Trump urges South Carolina Republicans to vote for Bernie Sanders
NY Post ^ | February 28, 2020 | 9:39pm | Steven Nelson

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.

Trump, hosting a rally in South Carolina on Friday night, asked his crowd to help him pick the recipient of GOP votes in the “open” primary.

“I assume this is okay from a campaign finance standpoint,” Trump joked before carrying out his “poll” on the eve of the primary election.

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.”

Doesn’t matter - he’ll be running against the VP pick.

Sanders will be incapacitated or dead and Biden will be led away to the Old Grifter’s Home by summer.

I’ll be the contrarian here. The leftists have had 50 years to indoctrinate kids in public schools and universities. The energy I see at Sander’s rallies I find troublesome.

Biden is the lamer candidate.

The Bernie Bros are MAD.

That will work in our favor when the DNC decides to pull the plug on The Bern.

You should have seen the Eugene McCarthy rallies in 1972.

cheer for and vote for are two separate things

more fake news

DO NOT VOTE IN DEMOCRAT PRIMARIES

You will lose eligibility to participate in GOP nomination processes

Go to your GOP convention/caucus instead

This year Trump has no credible challenger,and after Super Tuesday there won’t be a way to mount one. In my state we don’t have any contentious congressional primaries. Next year will be another year.

I agree with your statement for states where we havea chance to remove an old bushbot or replace a crappy Governor.

FYI -

SC is an open primary state.

And there is no republican primary. We done took care of that already.

So in SC I can and will vote in the dem primary.

You are fake news.

“Write in trump”

That’s my preference. Be funny if Trump took the Dem primary in that state.

Levin had a Bernie bro call in tonight.

Guy was unemployed. Had no intention of finding a job. Was complaining about the 1%..

mark dispatched him rather quickly but I wish he had let him ramble on longer.

that folks is the power of free shyt...

they don’t care, and can’t think hard enough to know the ramifications of a Bernie vote.

When you borrowed $100K to get a bachelor's degree in spring break, from the same guy you borrowed it from is promising to forgive your loan, the stupid will vote accordingly.

The U.S. Department of Education has been steadily been issuing welfare payments to colleges in the form of stupid kids loans for 20 years now. So the 18 to 38 year old voting block is solidly for anyone who bails them out.

As I keep having to explain, voting in another party’s nomination process disqualifies you from participating in the GOP process, and there is more than just a Presidential race this year - a lot more.

NO bernie supporter I know in NYC has said they will stay home even if he gets screwed.

folks here with sanders supporting KIN have said the same thing.

That would be a mistake to think they don’t hate Trump enough to show up whoever the left picks.

Grassroots should be involved in the party process every single year. That’s how we make sure we have good leadership when we need it. Congress nominations, electors, RNC delegates, local offices, party positions including unit chairmen, all still in play.
