Opinion: When will Democrats realize Trump desperately wants to run against Sanders, JRubinBlogger writes
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks during a rally at Burnett Park in Fort Worth on April 25. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 29 at 11:45 AM President Trump rarely conceals what’s on his mind. When he declares — without proof, naturally — that the Democratic primary is rigged against self-described socialist Sen.
Trump is lending Sanders a hand in the grievance game, hoping the whisper of unfairness will rile up his troops. The only one putting a finger on the scale of the Democratic National Committee selection process here is Trump. He told attendees at his rally in Wisconsin on Saturday, “I think Pocahontas, she’s finished. She’s out. She’s gone. When it was found that I had more Indian blood in me than she did, and then it was determined I had none, but I still had more, that was the end of her 32-year scam.” There was no “scam,” of course, because there is no evidence that Warren profited from her claim of Native American ancestry, but that’s not the point.
Like the Russians pushing Jill Stein in 2016, Trump is more than happy to meddle in the other party’s primary and encourage its weakest candidate.
