I think this will be the success of Trump: Trump Democrats. I bet more Sanders’s supporters will go with anti-establishment Trump than with establishment Clinton. The election will not be so much about conservative vs. liberal as it will be about establishment vs. non-establishment. Trump is the ultimate outsider and his success and belief in America and values that everyone holds dear is a winning formula. Besides, Sanders, when have we last had a candidate that will talk real, not parsed?
Most Bernie supporters will stay home, but Trump only needs to pull a couple of percent in a couple key geographic areas and he wins.
Trump’s been tweeting about how the Dem system is rigged and Bernie supporters are getting shortchanged. Not asking for their vote, just stirring ‘em up. Good politics.
Unless, of course, Sanders soon drops out to be Mrs. Bill’s VP candidate.
What is great about Trump’s campaign is that it has exposed the crypto-leftist in the GOP leadership and is making Patriotic Democrats take a hard look at the communist party they now support.
Trump need to campaign heavily in COAL country.
There are a lot of people in Coal mining country that loathe the environmentalism craziness that clinton brought in his 2 terms.
And you can add to the disaffected Bern folk a new set of “Reagan Democrats”, a set of Democrats badly burned by Obama, a set of Democrats who simply cannot stomach Hillary. And then there are the now non-motivated Democrats (Hillary isn’t AA). And we haven’t even begun to talk about unaffiliated/independents.
