Can Bernie Sanders really win over Trump voters?
Washington Post ^ | Apr. 14, 2019 | Sean Sullivan

Posted on 04/14/2019 4:08:49 PM PDT by Innovative

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) walked onstage here Friday under a gray sky with occasional specks of snow and launched into a full-on attack against President Trump, labeling him a “pathological liar” in a state that was key to Trump’s victory in 2016.

He repeated the epithet Saturday at a union hall in Michigan, another Trump state, and again on Sunday at a park in Pennsylvania, where Trump also won. “The biggest lie was that he was going to stand up for working families and take on the establishment,” Sanders said.

The blistering attacks on the president reflect Sanders’s developing, and arguably risky, strategy of reaching out to Trump’s voters — people the president has said would support him even if he shot someone. It’s a sharp contrast with other Democratic candidates who are focused on mobilizing Trump opponents. Not incidentally, it is also a way to signal Democrats that Sanders is their best hope for knocking off Trump.

In his dreams, certainly not in real life.

so you’re making a lot of money under a capitalist president.

And you’re gonna change your vote for a communist.

Makes sense

The one thing they have in common is they are neither part of the oligarchy. They are both enemies of the globalist oligarchy.

Hey Bernie!

Here’s something to avoid. Don’t call them stupid and corrupt deplorables for voting for Trump.

Which is exactly what happens when you launch ad hominem attacks against him.

President Trump won by winning over a whole lot of voters in places such as Michigan, OH, Wisconsin and Western PA who are not enamored with the establishment Republican Party. But they were really, really disgusted with hillary’s rigged nomination. President Trump could lose those voters, because he hasn’t been able to rein in Traitor Ryan and other ‘pubs who hate Deplorables and our agenda.

This clown was paid off by Hillary to take a dive when he was beating her handily and may have beaten Trump if he had gotten the Dem nomination.
