BREAKING : Hillary Feels The Bern – 20% of Bernie Supporters Say They’ll Vote For Trump
The Democratic party is in shambles.
We’re talkin’ chair-throwing and screaming-bloody-murder type shambles.
A new national poll shows that Bernie Sanders is gleefully pounding the final nail into Hillary’s political coffin.
Tap, tap.
Not only has Trump closed the gap on Hillary, he’s whizzing past her in most national polls. The latest average of all national polls combined has Trump leading Hillary for the first time and he is crushing the living daylights out of her with independent voters.
Ouch, that’s gotta Bern.
According to CNBC’s chief Washington correspondent John Harwood, the troubled Democratic front-runner is “weighed down by resistance from [a] significant chunk of Sanders supporters.”
Yes, like most Americans, they find her to be a cloven-foot shrew.
The pollsters agree with the assessment that Hillary’s shrinking lead is partly due to the resistance from Bernie’s dedicated and passionate supporters. When asked, 88% of the Clinton supporters polled said they would back Sanders if he were the Democratic nominee, however, only 66% of Sanders backers said they would support Clinton over Trump.
Tap, tap.
In actuality, it makes sense for Bernie supporters to join the Trump Train. Trump is an outsider who was also a victim of our rigged system. In addition, he and Bernie agree that our trade deals are unfair to Americans, and Trump’s appeal to minorities and “blue collar” democrats is yuge – something that would likely appeal to your average Bernie supporter.
A 34-year old Bernie supporter put it best when he said, “Bernie and Trump agree a lot on healthcare, Iraq war, campaign finance and trade. I really want to move on to something new, new ideas from outside the box. Maybe Donald Trump can provide that.”
Sir, we agree.
Trump sees a genuine opportunity to welcome more people aboard the Trump Train and has praised the Vermont senator. “Bernie Sanders has a message that’s interesting. I’m going to be taking a lot of the things Bernie said and using them,” Trump said on MSNBC last month.
Hey, I’ve got an idea – lets Bern down DC with Trump!
