“Democratic strategist Harlan Hill told Neil Cavuto today that up to 40% of Bernie Sanders supporters will cross over to Donald Trump if Bernie is eliminated.”
That’s probably the most damning statement one could make about Trump and his policies, that they would attract the same demographic that is attracted to socialism.
I’m sort of one of those. I’m not registered yet, but deciding between registering Dem and voting for Bernie, or Repub and voting for Trump. No, I don’t agree with Bernie on anything ideologically, but like Trump, I’m confident that he’s going to do what he thinks is best for the American people, not for the special interests and lobbyists, and that to me is more important than anything else.
Most of Bernie’s support is young kids looking for a way out of the screw job the uniparty is putting on the country. Very few are pro-trump but almost all are anti-hillery. If Dems want to protest vote against the corupt clintons I think that’s awesome for our side.
I don’t think it’s as much about socialism as it is with ending the corruption in our government and bad trade deals. Sure, a lot of sanders supports want free stuff, but Trump and Sanders actuslly agree on the horrible trade deals and the FED.
I know we are conservatives here, but I don’t mind support from people in other parties. People change, and as long as they all have our country’s best interest at heart, then we are all in this together.
So your good with Cruz supporters crossing over the Hillary Clinton when Trump KO’s Cruz?
It’s not an attraction to socialism so much as an attraction to someone who will face down the powers that be. Hillary represents the Dem insiders, and Cruz right now represents the Repub insiders, albeit as their third choice. Sanders and Trump are perceived as the outsiders challenging the status quo.
I don’t think it is damning.
Both Trump and Sanders see issues of illegal aliens, trade and jobs and safety as being paramount. That is why the both of them are resonating.
They disagree on how to implement the change.
No, it just shows how pissed off the voters are. Sanders has a lot of support because of the anybody but Clinton voters. Sanders ‘free everything’ is accepted as much as Trumps ‘I’m the best at everything’.
They’re parodies of campaigns. Trump parodies the right and Sanders Parodies the left.
Don’t be surprised if we end up with an independent ticket of Trump/Sanders.
Wrong.
They are not jumping ship over policies. They are jumping ship over having to hold their noses and vote for the DNC Selectee.
Sort of like the GOPestablish are threatening to do if Trump gets the 1237 delegates and, thus, the GOP nomination.
No, its not...my goodness. It’s a protest vote against Hillary. It has nothing to do with Trump. However, it does to show how much of a landslide win Trump will have over Hillary.
“they would attract the same demographic that is attracted to socialism.”
It’s nothing like that. They’re people who are sick and tired of the establishment running the show and disenfranchising We The People.
That’s probably the most damning statement one could make about Trump and his policies, that they would attract the same demographic that is attracted to socialism.

Maybe they are just noise sensitive and cannot abide Shillary’s schreeches and sCruz’s braying lecturing.
Trump and Sanders are the only ones who have decent voice tones.
What has the current or past GOP done for you?
Nope they are just tired of globalists like we are. Globalists and supporters of communist china and the TPP..like Ted Cruz for isntance
Ever heard of the ‘Reagan Democrats’?
Revolutionary leaders have an ability to attract support from all demographics, and across ideological lines.
Trump is the only Republican running, who can do that.
“That’s probably the most damning statement one could make about Trump and his policies, that they would attract the same demographic that is attracted to socialism.”
But it would be fine for those same folks to “cross over” and vote for Lyin’ Ted now wouldn’t it! Because As Cruze says: “If i can find a way to cheat I’ll win, In Jesus name, Amen!”

>>>Not necessarily. A lot of Bernie’s voters are college children - and I do mean children - who can’t think much beyond this level, coming out of compulsary government propaganda schooling. They didn’t want the ugly old witch and they probably don’t want Elmer Gantry, either.
Older Bernie people, if they’re not paid anarchists, may have the same “don’t wants”.
