Hmmm, one one hand, we have Bernie Sanders urging us to vote for HRC because she has adopted a large chunk of his platform and will push our country forward.

On the other hand, we have Trump spouting nonsense about WikiLeaks and attempting to suppress the vote so that he may win and essentially vaporize everything we've achieved and endanger our country...

Hmm...

Who to believe? This is a hard one.

Wow, @CNN Town Hall questions were given to Crooked Hillary Clinton in advance of big debates against Bernie Sanders. Hillary & CNN FRAUD!

He has completely lost it. How do you know he lost the debate? This post exactly. He wouldn't be making excuses if he believed he won.

Little does he know that he's compelling anyone who's even a touch left of center to not just walk, but dash to the polls.  He's the closest thing to a one-man turnout machine than we've ever seen in this country.

Joke's on him, shadows and jfern weren't going to vote anyway.

But also I told you guys this was gonna happen way back during the primaries and you all ridiculed me for it.  If you've been keeping tabs on the Sanders movement post-endorsement then you know that this has been going on the entire campaign.

Trump doesn't even have to make them vote for him. If Bernie supporters stay home or support Jill Stein, that would be best case for him.

It's a strange game with Hillary chipping away at suburban white women while Trump is trying to woo away the left wing of the democratic party.

This is absolutely false.  Go to r/political_revolution or your local true progressive forum, or turn on Sirius XM progress radio and you'll find plenty of children who are very reluctant to vote for Clinton but are doing it not to stop Trump but because they begrudgingly agree that she's their best chance of achieving their goals.   Most of them have a soft spot for Trump because first, he's anti-establishment just like Bernie, and second, they've been overwhelmed by a fifth column from team Trump trying to convince them that he really agrees with them in more issues than Clinton does and that those issues are most important, such as TPP and ending all war, as well as drowning then in Clinton conspiracy theories that they're all too eager to devour.

It would be nice if Trump goes all in on this strategy by adopting some of Sanders's economic ideas.

No it wouldn't, because his word has no value.

It wouldn't raise my opinion of Trump, but I'd love to see an even further divide between Trump and the GOP Establishment. This would upset Ryan et. al far more than being racism or sexism.

since bernie, warren and even fringe-left magazines like the nation are endorsing hillary...out of obvious reasons.....it's the lone decision of any single millenial voter to be part of the movement which saves the republic or pouting in their corner.

surburban women are our salvation anyway...praise the lord.

Good luck with that, Donald Plump. Your campaign is one of the most poorly orchestrated in history and you can't even win on your own merits. Historians will laugh at your presidential campaign. Your desperate, last ditch effort to turn Bernie supporters against Hillary lacks 1/10th the punch of a two-minute conversation with Billy Bush. All you have left is mass voter intimidation bolstered by the "Second Amendment people" standing post at polling locations. Loser.

I don't know about male Bernie supporters, but I cannot imagine female ones supporting Trump post PussyGate. Makes no sense.

They polled people - more people are likely to vote than ever before. The only thing Trump is going to achieve is that he is going to lower his own teams turnout.

Just checked out some of the BernieBro camp. Good old HA Goodman is firmly in the Trump camp now, which is unsurprising, as his only political project is to be anti-Clinton - crazy how so many Sandernistas fell for his crap. The Young Turks seem to be in the Clinton camp now, though. Even Ana Kasparian is voting for Clinton despite being one of the harshest anti-Clinton people a couple of months ago. Not sure about Jimmy Dore, but surely someone here knows.

Dore is a serious potential Trump voter considering he has an idiot theory that electing Trump means progressives win in the future.

Jimmy Dore still wants Trump to win because he thinks Clinton splits the "natural opposition" to "neo-liberal policies". He thinks if Trump wins Dems take back the House and Senate in 2018, with the help of independents and purple state Republicans.

Not really all that wrong, given how midterms usually go against the incumbent.

And given the split between the GOP and trump (somehow managing to top Carter and the Democratic Establishment), and trump being easily baited to do what works for him, which could favor the Democrats a few times...not entirely improbable.

I actually considered doing that myself, then Khanghazi happened and proved that trump was too far gone for that.
