The night before the open primary in New Hampshire, President Donald Trump teased the strategy of Republicans "crossing over" to vote for the "weakest of the Democrats."
"So, I hear a lot of Republicans tomorrow will vote for the weakest candidate possible of the Democrats," Trump told a campaign rally at Southern New Hampshire University. "Does that make sense?
"You people wouldn't do that."
New Hampshire allows undeclared voters to vote in either primary, and registered Republicans can also unregister and vote in the Democratic primary. Crossover voting has long been considered a myth, but Trump pitched it as a possibility Tuesday.
"My only problem is I'm trying to figure out who is their weakest candidate?" Trump told a raucous crowd. "I think they're all weak, if you want to know the truth."
