Why a Republican Might Win Bernie’s Home State
Politico ^

Posted on 10/23/2016 8:54:29 AM PDT by ameribbean expat

Bernie is still beloved here, where 86 percent of voters in the Democratic primary supported him—his strongest showing in the country. But some political experts suggest the cost of Sanders-style progressive policies—including, most notably, the state’s failed single-payer health care system—is driving many voters away from the Democrats, substantially boosting the odds that Republicans could retake the governorship this November.

A Vermont Republican might as well be a Democrat. I guess though that we should be happy for small gifts.

As long as they fill in the circle for Trump, they can be a Maoist if it keeps Hillary out of the WH.

As Phyllis Schlafley told us at a gathering in DC in 1994, We don’t care why they vote with us, just that they do. (Someone had asked her about being on the same side of a particular issue with feminists).

Ive read that there is a movement to have Bernie as a write in vote to win Vermont in the general election.If he gets enough votes,plus with some still voting for Clinton,maybe Jill Stein getting a decent amount,the.votes would be split.Perhaps Trump could win the state this way.Surely they aren’t all thrilled to have Clinton.

If VT is the deciding electoral votes for a DJT victory,
that would redefine poetic justice.

Berne bots are absolutely livid with Hillary Clinton and the DNC BECAUSE THEY WILLINGLY COLUDED TO STEAL THE NOMINATION FROM BERNE SANDERS; he didn't have a chance at all!

Berne bots are also TOTALLY DISGUSTED with Berne Sanders because in spite of knowing full well that Hillary Clinton and the DNC stole the nomination from him, BERNE SANDERS BETRATED HIS SUPPORTERS AND EVERYTHING HE AND THEY STOOD FOR. HE BECAME A JUDAS; HE SOLD HIS SOUL AND PRINCIPLES TO THE DEVIL HILLARY CLINTON, NOT FOR "30 pieces if silver", but for a $600,000 DOLLAR HOUSE ON THE BEACH FRONT!

Berne is now campaigning for the very Devil herself who stole his nomination and his former supporters now HATE BERNIE, HATE HILLARY AND EVERYTHING THEY STAND FOR!

It comes as no surprise that former BERNIE Sanders supporters are flocking to Donald Trump enmass because although they might not agree with him in many areas, they agree on this:

Hillary Clinton is an utterly corrupt, politician and the DNC is an utterly corrupt institution. She is a CRIMINAL who belongs in jail and only Donald Trump has the guts and courage to stand tall and put her there! Donald Trump will "drain the swamp" and rid Washington DC of her and her ilk.

This is why Donald Trump could conceivably win Vermont.

I’d go as far as to call it “DEVINE INTERVENTION”
