Trump easily wins Oregon Republican race (Welcome new votes from Camp-Bernie)

Donald Trump further cemented his claim after winning big in Oregon on Tuesday ....promising during his Eugene rally to carry the state during the general election. If Trump manages that feat, he’d be the first Republican to win Oregon in the general election since Ronald Reagan in 1984.

“Congratulations to THE MOVEMENT,” Trump tweeted... “We've just won THE GREAT STATE OF OREGON. The vote percentage is higher than anticipated! Thank you.” [67%]

William Joseph Fields ... was a LIFELONG DEMOCRAT before he SWITCHED HIS PARTY AFFILIATION ...TO SUPPORT TRUMP.

“I was a complete and utter Bernie supporter,” he said standing outside Trump’s Portland office, sporting long hair, a beard and a “Make America Great Again” T-shirt. “… It’s crazy, man. The more I dug, the more truth I found about the situation.”

Fields supports Trump largely because of his economic ideas. “With Trump, he’s sounding a bit more coherent and logical … We’ll have a growing GDP, ... he said. “Trump makes sense, not just in the short term, but in the medium-to-long term.”

Fields said he couldn’t support the Democratic candidate, even if he had stayed a Democrat. “‘Hitler-y’ is a criminal,” Fields says, referring to Clinton. “She belongs in prison.”

“This summer, it’s all on the table (between Clinton and Trump),” he said. “He’s literally going to grind her into little bits and pieces. I don’t want anybody to be met with violence, but it’s obvious to me that there is no way she can beat Trump. If her and her New World Order cronies try to tip the table on Trump, this will be the second great revolution. I feel it in my heart. I don’t want it to happen. The left and right have more in common than we don’t. We’re all in this together.”

Alas and alleluia, a lasting alliteration to allay any allusion of allegiance.

Bernie supporters have their heart in the right place...

You're more generous than I am.

However, Bernie is too well educated and mature to actually believe in Socialism as the answer to America’s problems.

Why do you assume that?

Great Article. Thanks for posting. I sent the link to a younger relative who left Oregone 10 years ago because of the liberalism then.
