Bernie Sanders is being beaten. He's losing in both the delegate count and the vote, but it's not his fault. He's "running as a Democrat" and he's being treated horribly by the Democrat party. At every turn, the DNC has done its best to game the system and rig the election against the poor old socialist coot who has dared challenge the coronation of Hillary Clinton.
....And it hasn't gone unnoticed. At least one man has Bernie's back. He's calling out the DNC's behavior, and urging Bernie to make a strong, principled, run as the independent that he is. That man's name is Donald Trump.
Heh. Heh. Heh. That's some top level trolling right there. In one tiny tweet, Trump manages to play on Bernie's popularity, remind everyone that Democrats don't really want to vote for Hillary, and spotlight Sanders’ status as a grass roots underdog. Mr. Sanders, please, please, please take his advice. He reiterated his tweet during last night's victory speech: Ignore the naysayers who claim a Bernie Sanders third party bid would split the vote, fail miserably, and decimate the Democrats in the process. You have to do what, in your heart of hearts, you know is right. Donald Trump is right. The socialist masses want to vote for you. It's unfair to deny them the opportunity.Bernie Sanders has been treated terribly by the Democrats—both with delegates & otherwise. He should show them, and run as an Independent!
