It's the ironic part.

Trump is the result of anti-system vote by people who were ignored for decades by both parties.

Trump obviously won't solve their problems. Inequality won't decrease. Healthcare won't become more accessible. Workers' rights won't be fixed. Homes won't get more affordable. Inflation won't drop.

So - even when Trump disgraces himself completely - these disappointed voters will just vote for another anti-system con-man.

Trump's core voters desperately need Sanders to win. But they will vote Trumps and get fucked over time and time again.

This is how democracy dies. People distrusting the system so hard they destroy it.
