President Donald Trump was apparently watching news out of the Democratic presidential primary closely this Wednesday; he promptly rushed to Twitter with commentary after news emerged that Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was dropping out of the race. Trump has repeatedly launched into grandstanding tirades about how supposedly dismally that the Democratic establishment has treated the Sanders campaign, and this week was no different, although his rants prove really just a show, since Trump stands for rabid “America First” nationalism — the opposite of Sanders. This Wednesday, Trump added a belittling conspiracy theory message about Bernie that simply doesn’t have any weight.
Nevertheless, it’s good to know that amidst a global pandemic, President Trump is focused on — wait for it — publicly picking on his political opponents! He just uses Sanders as an excuse to whine about the Democrats; it’s not like there’s any kind of policy commonality.
Trump tweeted:
‘Wow, Bernie is unwilling to give up his delegates, and wants more of them! What’s that all about?.. Can’t see AOC plus 3 supporting Sleepy Joe!’

In fact, Bernie explained why he’s hanging onto the delegates to the party nominating convention that he’s already accumulated and is hoping to accumulate more in coming races, no matter the certainty that Biden will nab a majority. Sanders is hoping to use his coalition to influence the development of the official party policy platform and other similar developments as they unfold in the months ahead. It’s not some kind of grand nefarious mystery, as Trump seems to imply.
Also — it’s unclear whether or not Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and some of her progressive colleagues will support Biden. What is clear, however, is that Trump has a good reason to opt to talk about just about anything but Biden’s campaign itself. Biden currently leads Trump by an average of 6.3 percent nationally in polls measuring support in their on the deck general election match-up.
