The Bernie Sanders voters who would choose Trump over Clinton

[Spike]

Sanders fans are contemplating switching their allegiance to Trump if Hillary Clinton secures the Democratic nomination.

Almost 700 people replied to the call-out, and some 500 of them said they were thinking the unthinkable: a Sanders-Trump switch.

They explained their unconventional position by expressing a variety of passionately held views on their shared commitment for protecting workers and against new wars, on their zeal for an alternative to the establishment, and on their desire to support anyone but Hillary Clinton.

As one respondent, a 34-year-old male IT technician, put it: “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.”

A woman, 55, who described herself as a homemaker, said: “Both Trump and Sanders are non-establishment candidates who are not bought by the special interests that have control over policy and legislation because of their ‘bribes’.”

CNBC's Jim Cramer: Say What You Want About Trump, He Is Right About Trade

During his show "Mad Money" on Wednesday, Cramer said that U.S. workers have been "bamboozled" for years into supporting trade deals for the benefit of large multinational corporations.

Cramer said "there are very few people I have met, and I've seen it on both sides, that know how to negotiate."

"Say what you want about Trump, I agree with him totally about these trade deals," he said.

"I'm with Trump on this. Look, we lose on every trade deal. I ask all these people from either party: name me one trade deal we have had a surplus on in the last decade. They can't name any," Cramer said on "Squawk Box" on Thursday. "I always find it amusing to think people don't seem to mind that we lose in these deals because we're able to export a lot of premium products that are not made necessarily by people in our workforce."

"People should understand this has been his view from day one. It has always been pro-worker," said Cramer. "Have people not been paying attention to what this man has been saying about the trade deals?

He's been right the whole way."

Like i said before, the establishment friendly voters are already with hillary... The fringe voters wont turn out for her... Bernies eventual defeat will give her the older voters, but the rest of his voters are either the young idealist who are going to not vote in protest or are antiiestablishment who will vote trump or third party

Cross-over voters are the key to Trump's success. When you have Bernie's crowd saying “Hillary should be indicted”, you know she's damaged goods.

Trump is winning over Dems in blue states - that is unheard of and the turnout IS huge! - the networks are deatlhly afraid of talking about the turnout

Democrats beware: Donald Trump is finding success well outside the Republican fringe

“Politics is not the same as it used to be,” Nancy Dudley, 73, of St. Augustine, told me with a sigh as she waited for Rubio to speak on Sunday. “The things they're saying these days! It's been just terrible.” She sounded more resigned than defiant.

At a Trump rally in Boca Raton, meanwhile, the crowd of 6,000 was younger and much noisier. “We want Trump!” they chanted in unison, a spectacle that would have been striking even if it hadn't been at night, in an outdoor amphitheater, with spotlights ranging across their heads.

“Trump is the change we need,” Allison Polikoff, 47, of Plantation, told me.

Simply put, there's a social divide between Trump fans and not-Trump fans, as my colleague Ron Brownstein has noted.

Rubio supporters (and voters for other not-Trump candidates) are disproportionately college-educated, longtime GOP voters. Trump voters are disproportionately blue-collar (which, in practice, sometimes means no collar, plus tattoos), and some said they'd never voted in a GOP primary before.

Some weren't Republicans at all. “I'm an independent,” said Richard Patronik, 67, of Coral Springs. “I can't vote in the primary. But I'd vote for Trump if I could.”

Anti-Trump groups spent more than $15 million on television ads in Florida, accusing him of straying from conservative orthodoxy and saying demeaning things about women. Both charges were true, but they didn't seem to make much difference.

The unscientific sample I interviewed this week all said yes: They'll vote for Trump if it's the only way to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House.

“We've been all over, and the biggest story in all politics worldwide today is what's happening with the Republican Party,” Trump told a rally in Tampa on Monday. “It's a phenomenon…. Millions and millions of people are going out and they're voting. But they're not voting for Democrats; they're down 35 % from four years ago. They're voting for Republicans.”

Robots will work for minimum wage - a wage of ZERO.

Take that socialists



NEW YORK – A CEO of a fast-food company is causing a stir on social media after claiming that he wants to create a fully automated restaurant.

“We could have a restaurant that’s focused on all-natural products and is much like an Eatsa, where you order on a kiosk, you pay with a credit or debit card, your order pops up, and you never see a person,” Carl’s Jr. CEO Andy Puzder told Business Insider.

Puzder says the automated restaurant would be cheaper since he wouldn’t have to worry about rising minimum wage.

“If you’re making labor more expensive, and automation less expensive- this is not rocket science,” Puzder said.

“They’re always polite, they always upsell, they never take a vacation, they never show up late, there’s never a slip-and-fall, or an age, sex, or race discrimination case,” says Puzder of swapping employees for machines.

Of course Sanders' people will vote for him, they know he's not a conservative.

That's because political ideology is not far-left and far-right on a straight ruler. It's a horseshoe.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory

Those complete socialist/communist wacko are actually closer to Nazism and Fascism than they are to moderate/centrist democratic principles.

And if they fell Trump is just as radical on some issues, they might be closer to those feelings than Clinton.

The commonality between Trump and Sanders voters is they want the government to help them.
Globalization has created too much competition for their abilities.

Globalization has created too much competition for their abilities.

People that like Trump want a little help from a $3.5 trillion federal government.

People that like Sanders want a little help from a $5 trillion federal government.

I hate to split hairs, but that is a bit of a difference.
