Bernie's supporters are abandoning the Democrat Party and are voting for Trump
2016-08-01
[Liberty Alliance] Awesome! Bernie’s supporters are fired up. They were hosed by the Democrat Party, and they are leaving in droves, many now planning to vote for Donald Trump.

In this video Bernie supporters make some very good points. One young man claimed that Bernie supporters and Trump supporters stand for some of the same things, which is true, especially Plank #1, that the status quo establishment is corrupt and looking out for themselves only, to hell with the people.

Where Trump and Bernie differ is in the solutions to the problems created by the "good ol’ boy" corrupt establishment. While Bernie believes we can tax our way to prosperity and build an even larger, more voracious beast (our federal government) along the way, Trump believes the opposite. He has studied the JFK/Reagan model of lower taxes equals greater incentive within the private sector, thus a burgeoning economy and greater volume of tax revenue, and although it may be counterintuitive, it is historically proven, and The Donald plans to return to this proven fiscal sanity.

It is also Trump’s plan, in strike contrast to Bernie’s, to drastically cut our federal government spending and regulations, to balance the budget finally, and begin the process of shrinking the voracious beast to its intended servile function.

I would phrase it, that half will vote for Clinton, half will stay home and the other half will vote Green, Libertarian or Trump

#2  I suspect at the end of the day roughly half Bernie supporters will vote Hillary and half will stay home. Any remains will vote Green.

Bernie supporters are of the left and the peer pressure is insanely powerful for them. To powerful to cross the aisle.

#1  More likely abandoning the Dems and voting for Stein.
