Jeb, in a moment of class and good nature, posed for a photo with the young political activists.

(16,230 posts)I wonder if they're even Republicans.
This reminds me of another incident where some people fooled a politician into posing behind a sign. Unfortunately I can't remember who it was or what the sign said.

(6,409 posts)I suppose they're cheering for Sanders because they think he'll be easier to defeat than Clinton. On the other hand, the progressive movement over 100 years ago involved many Republicans, so maybe they're thinking along those lines.

(17,405 posts)Not actually Republicans, just trolling.
Or they are Republicans who would much rather face Sanders over Clinton.
Given their ages, I would tend to think the latter. I would place the odds that these are formerly hardcore Republicans who had their hearts transformed by Bernie's message at somewhere approaching zero.
