President Trump is urging Republicans to vote in South Carolina’s Democratic primary on Saturday for the weakest candidate — determining that is Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Trump, hosting a rally in South Carolina on Friday night, asked his crowd to help him pick the recipient of GOP votes in the “open” primary.
“I assume this is okay from a campaign finance standpoint,” Trump joked before carrying out his “poll” on the eve of the primary election.
He asked audience members to cheer for the Democrat they’d prefer be his easiest-to-beat opponent — Sanders or former Vice President Joe Biden.
“I think maybe Crazy Bernie has it,” Trump said.
Asking one more time for his supporters to cheer for either former vice president Biden or Sanders, Trump confirmed: “They think Bernie’s easier to beat.”
Sanders, a self-declared socialist, emerged as the front-runner after popular-vote wins in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada. His potential nomination terrifies many Democrats, who fear a Trump landslide.
Biden leads Sanders in South Carolina polls ahead of Saturday voting, but Republicans could swing the outcome and give Sanders momentum ahead of the 14-state Super Tuesday contests next week.
