Primaries should be closed. MSNBC just reported that a Bernie analyst thinks the cross over to Kasich hurts Hillary. They are also reporting that a lot of Dems are done with the Dems and are crossing over to vote for Trump. What a mess.

Some of them are probably Dems, and there has been a bogus phone and twitter effort to x over because she's safe. It's completely idiotic because Trump imo will be easier to beat than the more human *appearing* Kasich

... voters to vote for Kasich instead of Bernie. (If it was confined to only Hillary supporters, it would make me very very very suspicious about the actual reasons.)

that said Bernie supporters had voted for Kasich to stop Trump, so this may hurt both campaigns.

I had no intention to point a finger at anyone. It seems to be a Stop Trump measure and could come from anywhere. There are independent groups pushing the idea that Dems cross over and vote against him. I would never do that in a contested Dem race, but others might.

Heard on MSNBC that numbers of Dems made the decision to vote Kasich to help stop drumpf knowing that they will be on the rethug rolls for 4 yrs. I hope this doesn't hurt Hillary's chances to win OH but if it were me after listening to her last night about voting against Trump as a form of protest.........I may have done the same support the most likely to win OH to stop him from getting those delegates. Trump is a huge danger to our nation..........my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility — I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavour will light our country and all who serve it — and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

Sanders, so they decided to stop Trump--or to "support" him because they thought he'd be easier to beat in the general than Kasich.

That they were getting lots of Dems who asked for Repub ballots. She said some did it to vote for Trump, but some also did it to vote AGAINST him.
