Trump’s Team should be careful as they are trying to get Bernie Sanders the Nomination
Listen to this articlePresidential candidates and their campaign managers always need their handsome victory. Former U.S Secretary of State and presidential candidate in 2016 election, Hillary Clinton and her operatives claimed the person they most wanted to face in a general election was Texas Senator Ted Cruz and played up Donald Trump as the one they least wished to contest within a general election. A familiar theme started to emerge as the Democratic primary season kicked into high gear a few weeks ago. The former vice president Joe Biden viewed as the Democratic frontrunner for all of 2019 and early 2020. He finished 4th in Iowa and 5th in New Hampshire.
Point to be noted that Biden is still the overall favorite. The U.S President tweeted one day before the South Caroline primary, Trump wrote, “The Dems are working hard to take the prized nomination away from Bernie. Backroom politics, which Bernie is not very good at. His people will not let it happen again”! President Trump also said following Biden’s smashing South Carolina win on February 29th, he wrote, “Democrats are working hard to destroy the name and reputation of Crazy Bernie Sanders, and take the nomination away from him”!
The supporters of Trump followed suit on Twitter and claimed the Democratic establishment was going to the well for Joe Biden at the expense of Sanders. Conservatives outlets started publishing pieces praising Sanders, not in terms of his proposals or policies, but supposedly because he is not beholden to the establishment. If Sanders does run away with the nomination, then presumably the Trump campaign will start dancing to Eddie Murphy’s Party All The Time as they prepare the “Do you really want a socialist as president”? People guffawed at the possibility Donald Trump could win the GOP nomination in 2016, let alone the general election. Voters could shrug off Bernie’s mishaps and problematic past statements, just as voters did in 2016 with Trump.
