FFs, obviously.

Of course Hillary's evil. There's no doubt about that. The question is if that's reason enough for a normally progressive Democrat to vote for Trump. I'm not a progressive Democrat, so I can't give an unbiased answer to this question.

We need to distinguish between two categories of Sanders-Trump voters. First are those represented best by primary voters in Oklahoma or West Virginia: once again they voted against Obama by proxy and would vote Republican in GE anyway. The others are those Hillary did not manage to convince in GE. Given the fact many deep red states Sanders won had caucuses, there are not that many of them, actually.

-How about those in Arkansas? It's a fully open primary, unlike WV and OK, and it's a fact that in quite a few Arkansas counties, despite HRC winning the Dem primary in a landslide in 2016, there were more Dem primary votes in some counties in 2016 than there were HRC general election votes.

Also, there were a number of these in Michigan, and probably WI and Indiana -all states O won in 08.

Most of them are misguided people whom the left should strive to convince rather than demonize.

Trying to convince jfern is about as productive as trying to convince a brick wall. It'd be like wanting to change the color of your house so you stand outside and yell at your house to change its color instead of painting it.

-It's called principle: something some have a hard time recognizing.

Bernie was hitting the right chords but the wrong notes. Had he been Bernie with "Pull up ya damn pants and respect the police!" he would have won, but instead his liberalism appealed to those issues in ways that turned off white voters. Hence, he lost the nomination and would have probably lost the general election.

He was lacking the "angry white man" inside himself. It was more like he was an "angry husband defending his wife at the store".

-He. Won. The White. Vote. In. The. Primary.
