Donald Trump from the Other Direction

Yikes. (and no, he can't do that.  Abe Lincoln "freed" the slaves with the emancipation proclamation; FDR locked up Japanese-Americans.  But even those executive orders didn't overturn state and federal laws and declare them null and void by Presidential fiat.  It just doesn't work that way.)

And, you know, Trump kind of recognizes that:



Of course he always has to carry it too far.  You can't stage a coup against someone who's not in charge, but that nuance will be lost on Bernie Bros.  Easier to sell them on the idea that the Democratic establishment (in South Carolina?) is trying to take the nomination away from their saint.    As for Buttigieg dropping out, that should clear the way for Bernie to win, and if it doesn't, well....

OTOH, Trump's effort to get GOP voters to vote for Bernie in South Carolina completely fizzled (called it!), so any impact he has on Bernie Bros just proves they were never really Democrats in the first place.  Or that serious about defeating Trump.  And if they agree with Trump on this well,  who needs them?  Or their candidate, for that matter.
