Find it kind of funny that Dems are calling Trump the death of democracy when he's the one who wants his party's internal election process to continue.

hes saying the RNC overriding its own "democratic" process to crown Trump would be authoritarian

sure he did: in 2016 he was appealing to sanders siblings on that basis after the DNC wikileaks came out.

it was self-interest, but he did play on the unfairness angle. Don't recall if he did it again in 2020 tho.

here's an alleged gotcha from the wapo (as if they've said boo about assange under biden) about how often trump mentioned wikileaks in 2016:

granted, they aren't showing the "unfair to bernie" clips (and why would they? they were in the tank for clinton) but I definitely remember it.

here's the wapo talking about a tweet trump sent out:

quote:

Last week, before the recent avalanche of news, Bernie Sanders finally endorsed Hillary Clinton, ending a bitter primary contest.

Donald Trump immediately tweeted an invitation to Sanders voters to join his campaign:

but the tweet is now deleted from the story, which was about how trump wouldn't win the following november (2016):

given rfk's polling that would be smart for trump; rfk gets 10-20 percent in a 3-way race, attracts younger voters & a good chunk of democrats.

and if trump is a lock for the nomination it makes sense to start talking veep.

I would love to see if that support is the same when Trump is at the top of the ticket and he's VP. My theory is that young people supporting him is that he's a protest vote. They want to express disapproval of the two party system and he's a solid way to do it but not as VP.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Yeah there's a lot of people who have an unformed distrust and hatred of the political order but also recognize Trump as a huge rear end in a top hat, so a version of him thats a bit less of an open shithead can pick up some of the vote. Problem is if he ties his brand to Trump I'm not sure how much people will stick with him

Antivaxxers love Trump even when he had Warpspeed as his brainchild. It doesn’t matter. They just want Biden out.

It's the VP pick that would most move the needle, but VP picks don't move the needle much if at all. Or at least it doesn't move the needle up, VPs have the possibility of turning people away. It's why most VP picks are historically bland people.

It’s why someone like MtG won’t be picked unless Trump is having a spur of the moment. Gonna be a boring person like Stefanik.

I think that if he doesn't go with rfk he's gonna pick a female veep: noem or haley, prolly. Maybe lake if it looks like she's polling badly for sinema's seat. Not sure about stefanik, really.
