Trump campaign is very upset at ... Bernie Sanders

he Trump campaign's continued efforts to paint the Democratic party as in disarray has never made much sense. It isn't going to start making sense today.

“Bernie’s endorsement becomes exhibit A in our rigged system,” senior policy adviser Stephen Miller said in a statement Tuesday.
So what's rigged about it? What part of the second-place delegate getter campaigning with the first-place delegate-getter after a hard-fought campaign is the "rigged" part? At some point Donald Trump decided he wanted to start using the word "rigged" to described politics, because the Donald Trump political oeuvre consists of giving everyone and everything a one-word insult, and every poor sap on the campaign is obliged to incorporate the newly chosen word in their own proclamations as if it's the most insightful thing their candidate has ever said.

Trump started using the word "rigged" when it looked like Republican detractors were going to unseat him as the party nominee through delegate chicanery. It's stuck because he's just too damn lazy to come up with a new one.

"Anyone that supports Clinton is a sell out to their principles". iirc that was revealed in a leaked Trump memo as their strategy.

Seriously. Like he cares. Trump is picking a fight with the wrong person.
