Democratic voters could stay home — or even defect to Trump — if Bernie Sanders snags the nomination, warn party donors and insiders

Democratic insiders are warning that party voters could cast their 2020 vote for President Donald Trump if Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders wins the Democratic nomination.
.
.
.
'I think that there is a very real 'Never Bernie' sentiment amongst both the donor class and moderate, centrist Democrats, or what I would call regular Democrats,' the insider said.
.
.
.
Politico reports that half a dozen members have discussed a policy reversal that would see super delegates, now called automatic delegates, be able to vote on the first ballot at the party's national convention, increasing the influence of DNC members, members of Congress and other top party officials.

They are.

The know they CANNOT have a proud socialist win the primary.

He’s not even really a dem.

Third party run to make a statement would be GREAT.

Bu he can be bought so it won’t happen.

Some moderate Democrats will vote for Biden or Bloomberg, but not Sanders or Warren.

I thought it was the other way around in 2016. Since Bernie was cheated of the nomination, many of his voters decided to go for Trump.

I was doing some really stupid things when I was 18, but voting for Jimmy Carter NEVER even entered my foggy mind..

This generation has been indoctrinated by lefties who control the education system and promises of free stuff are seductive.

Wasn’t George a Pilot? Naval Aviator maybe? I could look it up, but that would be cheating!

At least, by some accounts, McGovern was a nice guy.

Bernie is portrayed by the media as a nice old man, which he most certainly is not. He’s a corrupt, nasty little prick.

I think it cuts both ways. They’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

The Wisconsin National Guard will be activated during the Dem Convention in Milwaukee - the officials orders are calling it a “Training Exercise” The Guard and State Police will be on full alert.

Per Pew (which does a nice job on this sort of thing), there ARE a meaningfully large number of Dems who aren't the pod-eating SJW snowflakes. Unfortunately, they don't get airtime.

The 2017 political typology: Anchored by Core Conservatives, Solid Liberals

Democrats differ on hard work and success, whether voting gives people a say in government

Bernie worries me more than coronavirus. The Solid Liberals shout out the Normal Dems and will vote for Bernie or Warren. If either of them get the Nomination, while I think Trump will kill either, it will an all-out bashfest like we've not seen yet - and we've seen a LOT of bashing. More concerning is the fraud en masse, and THAT could tip the scales in their favor.

Trump won by 78k votes- we need a MEGA margin of victory in 2020.

They are lying. They are afraid of losing their cushy DNC power and gravy train. Bernie won’t support them. And he might win.

I cheated. He was a B-24 bomber pilot in Italy in 1944-1945 for 35 missions.

I think I see the start of his problems. According to Wikipedia "McGovern was assigned to Liberal Army Airfield in Kansas ". Liberals had airfields and bombers? :-)

“ We should vote for Bernie during the primaries ”

Very easy in Florida to become a temporary D and be able to vote in March 17 primary. Supervisor of Elections offices are all over the state.

10 minutes.

Yeah the fraud.

Amazing that so many would VOTE for a guy who likely don’t believe in voting. Few communists do.
