2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumAnother Red Neck for Bernie
Had a conversation with an acquaintance that drives a cement truck yesterday. A self proclaimed Red Neck he hesitatingly told me he was excited about Bernie. He said he can not believe the Trump mania among his fellow workers and that they can not understand his choosing Bernie either. Stated that he thought Hillary was a criminal, so he probably watches Faux. He said his attraction to Bernie was because he didn't think Bernie could lie and is not afraid to tell us the truth. He is afraid of Trump because he does not believe a word that comes out of his mouth and thinks the people who are supporting him will one day be ashamed.
This is the third person of Republican political persuasion I have met this week who are voting for Bernie if they can.

They probably worked better before all the rules about what juries could and could not consider developed--although I understand why they developed.

(12,409 posts)who are disgusted with their party. The more Trump exposes his ignorance and surrounds himself with thugs the more people are seriously thinking he must be stopped. This is becoming a significant number of people who will be able and willing to swing the election away from Trump. At the same time these people, for the most part, are vehemently opposed to Hillary.
The Democratic Party at large needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Our Nation is in extreme danger if Trump were to get himself elected. We need to market an appeal to these disgruntled masses and bring them over to our side.
