The best outcome for President Trump, his team says, would be if the Democratic primary contest continued all the way to the party's convention — and they'd like to help make sure that happens.
NASHUA, N.H. — One clear winner has emerged so far from the Democratic presidential contest, according to strategists aligned with the president: Donald Trump.
Trump himself agrees."If you want to vote for a weak candidate tomorrow, go ahead," he told supporters at a primary eve, suggesting they were free to sabotage the Democratic vote, since his victory in the Republican contest was certain."Pick one. Pick the weakest one you think. I don't know who that is."
Privately, campaign advisers acknowledge that Sanders also comes with strengths that could pose a threat were he to be the nominee. He's described by Trump's allies as likable, authentic and consistent — some of the same qualities they believe propelled Trump to victory in 2016. Like Trump, he has also been able to build a movement and an unwavering base of support.
