SOME of Bernie’s people want the same thing (which, BTW, St. Ted says he wants, too).
So, you are wrong (again). Trump will get some Bernie votes, maybe a lot.
“SOME of Bernie’s people want the same thing (which, BTW, St. Ted says he wants, too).”
What things?
And I never said Trump would not get Sanders votes. In fact I’ve pointed out for a long time how a Sanders people who hate Clinton often like Trump. I have a friend who us hardcore lefty. He always denies Clinton is leftist. He says she is center right. He says she is a liberal, not a leftist. He says there is a big difference between liberals and leftists. He likes Trump. Because of his economic rhetoric which are similar to Sanders.
Good thing is this friend is a resident, not a citizen (from UK) and can’t vote.
What I am seeing is what has been true in UK and Europe but not here. That the right or conservative faction is still quite socialist. They accept the nanny state, the dole, etc...this seems to be happening here with Trump being the first candidate to benefit from this trend.
It really is the leftist strategy being played out. They’ve always said, and written books like What’s the Matter with Kansas, that middle class and working, mainly white, Americans don’t vote their own interest. That they should support the more left view and candidates.
Trump seems to be a fulfillment of this strategy (Buchanan pioneered it).
I have acknowledged the overlap between Sanders supporters and potential Trump support and felt it says more about Trump as a big government socialist-like, anti-Capitalist candidate than the appeal of his more conservative issues.
