Save time - just ask the Obama/Trump voters to choose.

So, if it’s going to come down to these strange people that voted for Obama in 2012 and Trump in 2016, do we just poll them and ask them who they would vote for as our nominee against Trump in November 2020.
Especially those people in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Just save everybody a lot of time and money.
Who do these oddball, wacko, low information, morons want.
The future of our country and maybe the planet is in your hands.

* this is only half sarcasm - about the halfwits who may decide our fate.

That is going to change how they vote. There are some exceptions like the RV industry, where eventhough President Obama saved their jobs and livelihoods in 2009, they voted for Romney in 2012.

That has been the case since the country was founded. Some of the most prominent founders were either the loudest or shadiest (Ben Franklin).

these voters NEVER remember the harm that GOPers have done to them.

They simply hate ANY and ALL Dems. Period.

Voters came out for democrats in a big way, overwhelming the voter disenfranchisement efforts of republicans.

like they were too lazy and they come from a state that has been voting for a democrat for president so they don't need to get off their ass and vote.

and then there is the voter suppression usually in minority communities by racists. like what happened in the georgia governor's race.
