Will the WWC become a long time voter base for the Republican Party?

[Vosem]

Fun interesting fact that I noticed after going to check whether Wyandotte even voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary (which it did, 55-41, though with quite low voter turnout): Sanders actually carried the Grosse Points, and turnout there was a good deal higher than it was in Wyandotte. Why not focus on those Sanders voters?

The point being -- there's not a relationship between Sanders' strength in the primary and the swing to Donald Trump. Because the swing to Trump didn't come from Sanders supporters, and acting like it did is ludicrous.

Why not focus on those Sanders voters?

-Because they were at a far lower risk of flipping to Trump.

It was a rhetorical question; my point being that basically all the polls showed that people who flipped to Trump weren't Sanders supporters. (Clinton did hemorrhage some Sanders supporters, but more went to non-voting or third-party support than to Trump). The voters Trump picked up were mostly those who frequently hadn't voted since 2008. The idea of there being a large (or even small) number of people whose preferences went 1-Sanders, 2-Trump, 3-Clinton has been disproved numerous times. (That plenty, maybe most of Trump supporters went 1-Trump, 2-Sanders, 3-Clinton is of course known, but that wouldn't really help the Democratic nominee).
