Maybe they aren’t Leftists. The Democrat party includes working class union members, old FDR Dems, single issue voters who ignore everything else, as well as the card carrying communists and overeducated Progressives (the last two are certainly Leftists).

Trump is appealing to the rest of those Democrats. You can call them Leftists, but we used to call them Reagan Democrats a few decades ago.

What you fail to grasp is that most voters are not really ideological. Most people who vote Democratic are not nearly so far Left as those manipulating their past voting patterns. Trump will also draw many people who like to vote for a celebrity. That may sound irrational, but it is as rational as “W” claiming a woman with a dyed finger somehow represented American values.

“...leftists bad sign...”

That would be 180 degree flip on logic.

Did you read the whole post? The leftist’s reasoning was that he can’t stand Hillary and we need an outsider. The leftist’s reasoning was not that Trump is now liberal.

This is an excellent sign!

Trump is still going to build the wall, stop the bad trade deals and support the right to bear arms.

The lefty is showing a willingess to consider conservatism if done by an outsider; Trump isn’t suddenly showing amnesty-gun-control liberalism crap.

“On the contrary, leftists voting Trump is a very bad sign”

Not necessarily. People of all parties know that our political system is corrupt and not working for the average American person.

Trump may not give us everything we want as fiscal and social conservatives, but he has the best interest of the American people and the country at heart.

We need more public SERVANTS, not politicians who rape the tax payers and the country for their own best interests and the best interests of their big donors. If you are middle class or a small business owner, neither party is working for you.

What did all of our hard work, winning back both houses for republicans get us? ZERO.
