... While 26 percent of Republicans say they would never vote for Trump, only 11 percent of Democrats say they would never vote for Clinton. Democrats dont have the same kind of ideologically pure wing that has hurt GOP presidential candidates in the past. Democrats, it seems, are more practical. They may prefer Bernie Sanders, or one of the others, but when push comes to shove, almost all of them will vote for Clinton. Why? They want to win.
I recently received an e-mail from someone named Carl who described himself as a conservative Christian, and he wrote, "I have voted Republican since Eisenhower beat Stevenson, and if Jeb, Christie, Kasich, or Graham are nominated, I WILL STAY HOME!" ...
These purists have told me that there's little or no difference between a moderate Republican and a liberal Democrat. They're delusional, of course, blinded by their hard-right ideology, but that's what they believe nonetheless. And depending on who the GOP nominee is, they could represent big trouble for the party ...

Absolutely, Bernie. If the GOPe succeed in disenfranchising me through tricks and money during the primary...I’m voting for Hillary. At least I’ll have the satisfaction of watching McConnell having to kiss Her ugly old butt
“I voted for Bush in 92 and Dole in 96. And Bush in 2000/2004, and McCain and then Romney. “
Bad trend
I voted for Bush 2000, and none of the others. Destroyers of conservatism all.
...in my next book I tell you how I feel about....
...being yet another covert Bolshevik stooge?
The GOPe birthed this bastard child preferring the votes of Democrats in order to reject conservatives in favor of the corpseman Cochran.
Will one of these academic geniuses tell me exactly what the Vichy-Rebulicans have accomplished recently? Winning is meaningless if you let the country go to heck in a hand basket. Ask John Boozer and Mitch the barkeep McConnell what they have done for this country lately. If you think it would be different under Mittens your crazy; if you think Senior Jeb can win el electiono for El Presidente you equally crazy.It won’t be my fault when it goes down the tubes again!
Milquetoast moderate Republicans cost the GOP the Presidency in 1992, 1996, 2008, and 2012, just for starters. You’ve been in NYC and DC too long, Bernie.
Will the GOPe “purists” pledge to vote for Cruz or Trump if either gets the nomination?
Year: 2000
Popular Votes: 50,456,062 (47.9%) - Bush
Popular Votes: 50,996,582 (48.4%) - Algore
Don’t worry. McConnell and Boehner will be happy to do so.
C'mon. Look the guy up.
See where he stands.
He's used the phrase "hard left" dozens if not scores of times.
Message from Bernie to conservatives: Eat your milquetoast and like it.
More spew from NR.
Yeah, right. Joe Lieberman was ran out of his party's primary in 2006 by a leftist supported by Dems because he supported Israel and the War on Terror. Nevermind that Joe was still a leftist on all the other issues.
Shut up Goldberg.... We’re not voting for that A-hole Bush. I for one, will be happy to live with the consequences of that decision.
I won’t vote for Jeb period. It won’t matter who gets as a running mate. Been there done that. I won’t do it again.
If “winning” is still losing, what’s the point?
Bernie just needs to get used to the butthurt that’s coming for them.
I like what you did.
