Trump admired Elizabeth Warren for the termination of Bernie Sanders

Listen to this article

U.S President Donald Trump tried to pin blame for Bernie Sanders ending his 2020 presidential campaign on fellow-progressive Senator Elizabeth Warren. Sanders didn’t get out of the race before Super Tuesday’s delegate haul went to moderate Joe Biden, and invited the populist Vermont senator’s supporters to cross party lines and support him in November 2020. On Wednesday, President tweeted and said, “Thank you to Elizabeth Warren. If not for her, Bernie would have won almost every state on Super Tuesday! This ended just like the Democrats & the DNC wanted, same as the Crooked Hillary fiasco. The Bernie people should come to the Republican Party, TRADE”!

Trade is among the issues where many on the far right and far left of American politics agree and expecting Trump making an aggressive famous play for some of those Sanders supporters until Election Day. Trump has attempted to steer the Democratic nomination for months in order to the extent he could from outside that party, towards Sanders, a self-described democratic-socialist. The president’s play was to paint the entire party as beholden to Sanders and other progressives, calling the party extreme, radical, and all socialists. He also asked Ukraine’s then-green president to do us a favor though by announcing he was investigating Joe Biden and son Hunter Biden.

Wow, Bernie is unwilling to give up his delegates, and wants more of them! What’s that all about?

There was a phone call led to House Democrats impeaching President Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, and charges on which he was later cleared by the Republican majority Senate. President rejected asking for a political quid-pro-quo, though when not using that term he and his former acting White House chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney. The move also asked a foreign leader to investigate what Trump’s campaign concluded at that time was his most-likely and toughest potential general election foe. It was a brash move that reflects Trump’s take-no-prisoners style of politics. Democrats have started considering a new Trump-Biden showdown.
