I know several people who were Bernie's supporters that voted for Trump because they were sick and tired of the status quo Washington.

It's insane to believe there may be undecideds or people who could go either way in a Trump vs Sanders election.

The problem there is those that voted for trump have not been let down.

By every measurable way, the country is stronger today than three years ago.

Much of this has to do with Trump's policies.

His immigration policies have limited the influx of unskilled labor, making unskilled labor less abundant and increasing the wage for unskilled labor.

His blowing up the Iranian general had placed Iran on notice. In fact haven't heard many issues from them.

His brashly goading our NATO allies into reaching their agreed upon defense budget had in reality made Europe safer.

And redoing trade deals, well according to Obama he just waved his magic wand to get them signed to help America.

Unless the Democrats destroy the economy, he is going to be hard to beat.

I don't see how you get from Trump to Bernie unless you just have no political stances and vote on pure emotion alone.

Idk how anyone could be on the fence with Sanders/Trump. If you cant decide between these 2 then you clearly dont have any political thoughts or opinions that deserve to make it to the ballot box.

This would be impossible for me to wrap my head around, at least in any substantial numbers.

Even more Democrats will swing to Trump if Bernie is the nominee.

I think the number of people in Trump’s base that will abandon and flock to Bernie is up to 6 by last count.

Do you know what a "base" is?

People who wander from side to side because they are always mad at the status quo are not anybody's base.
