Hillary Clinton shouldn’t be so quick to write off her recent string of Rust Belt losses to Bernie Sanders. While they won’t spell an upset in the Democratic primary, they do portend similar losses in the general election to Donald Trump, who has a wide lead over her on the issue of handling jobs and the economy.
Exit polls in West Virginia and Indiana show Democratic voters see jobs and the economy as the top issues facing the country, and they think global trade is hurting American workers. Growing anxiety over the economy, which is softening in President Obama’s final year, propelled Sanders over Clinton in these and other states — and it’s an issue perfectly tailored for Trump’s blue-collar billionaire populism.
A whopping nine in 10 voters in the West Virginia primary said they’re worried about the economy, and 52 percent of them went for Sanders. Only 34 percent favored Clinton on that issue. More than half say trade with other countries costs US jobs, and 54 percent of them voted for Sanders....

Think about Donald and Bernie getting together, They speak the same on many things.
There’s a big movement out there on the other side, get the good ones to come over.
The Democratic Convention will be one to watch in June. It should be a blast! All the MSM talks about is how the Republican party should unite - however, they neglect the huge division in the D party. Stock up on popcorn - it will get ugly between the Hillary and Sanders’ supporters.
yep, gonna be fun
Dem convention July 25-28. GOP convention July 18-21.
I hope the demonrats burn Philly to the ground!
They created the monster that is about to eat them. I have have no sympathy
Yeah - but can Trump beat Sanders?

===••==========••=•=••
The two are diametrically opposed on most everything Don’t bogart that joint my friend.
Don’t bogart that joint my friend. LOL.
“Yeah - but can Trump beat Sanders?”
Yes because if Sanders takes PIAPS down all the evil leftist women stay home, or a large part of them.
Unlike with The Obamanation of Desolation Sanders has only limited support. He isn’t black. He isn’t female and he isn’t sexy looking. Sanders is not a charismatic candidate.
Oops, my mistake. For some reason, I thought the Rats had theirs in June.
Yes, but he's got a LOT of yutes - true believers who never took any actual history classes to find out how collectivism inevitably turns out in the real world.
Their first taste of that reality, in fact, is Hillary stomping their votes into their faces while she laughs at them and steals them. And they are PISSED.
Did you see that Donsld Trump has even hired Rick Perry’s pollster? How is your foot?
“Sanders is not a charismatic candidate.”
Don’t under estimate the attraction of a nice old man earnestly promising free everything to everyone, especially vs another promising hard work and belt tightening.
I said it months ago, and their theme song could be the one from "The Odd Couple". Pay for view @ $29.95 a month to watch the live microcams of them trying to work together and arguing as the money goes to pay off the national debt... :-)
You just stirred the brain waves a firing Their is one guy who these Yutes do listen too, and I have been posting he is the guy to watch and that is Rand Paul.
Does a Rand Paul as VP bring the disaffected Kim Jung Shrill voters to Trump? IMHO that is not a crazy idea to consider....
Wall Street Journal: Bernie Sanders Should Have Used ‘Clinton Cash’ Against Hillary
The Sanders/Clinton divide is, to a large extent, a racial divide. Hillary's got the black vote, by a huge percentage. Blacks do not seem to want to vote for a Jew like Bernie.
Visualize college agitators for Bernie clashing with blacks in heavily-black Philadelphia. It may turn into a long, hot summer.
Java4Jay is still hoping for a Cruz victory.
I’ve been saying all along it’s going to be Rand Paul. He fits every criteria Trump is looking for. He will also draw the more reasonable Bernie supporters.
I live in a college town. I see Ron Paul bumperstickers next to Bernie stickers all the time.
