Donald Trump implores Bernie Sanders to run as an Independent

Ever since Donald Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee for president, he's been focusing most of his attacks on his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, and imploring her challenger to enter the race as an Independent.

"Bernie Sanders is being treated very badly by the Dems," Trump tweeted on Monday. "The system is rigged against him. He should run as an independent! Run Bernie, run."

<...>

Trump has been pushing this message of Sanders being treated unfairly by the Democratic party for weeks.

"Bernie Sanders has been treated terribly by the Democrats—both with delegates & otherwise,"Trump tweeted in late April. "He should show them, and run as an Independent!"

Despite Trump's advocacy on Sanders' behalf, the real-estate mogul has dubbed him "crazy Bernie" in other tweets.
