Trump, who came to his victory party tonight straight off an appearance at the Time 100 Gala — he changed in between from tux to blue suit and tie — is really leaning into his against-the-establishment brand … on both sides of the aisle.
While boasting that has won millions and millions more votes than Kasich, Trump decided to offer his thoughts on the Democratic race as well.
“The Democrats have treated Bernie very badly and frankly I think he should run as an independent,” Trump said, as some in the crowd booed.
But his sympathetic advice to Sanders had an obvious self-serving point. If Sanders ran a third-party race, it would be highly advantageous for Trump, drawing votes away from Clinton.
