Sanders to run as a Democrat -- but not accept nomination (2018 Senate)

[Hortensis]

269. In 2008 McCain won NO Republican primaries.

That's right, in every single state Republican voters chose someone else. How'd McCain win the nomination? Non-Republican voters using OPEN PRIMARIES in 23 states to overset the will of Republican voters.

In 2016, Republican and unaligned conservatives swarmed Democratic open primaries with the same intent -- to throw the nomination to a weak candidate.

In the WV primary, spoiler Republican invaders combined with spoiler conservative Democratic voters to make up 37% and 43% in 2 districts reported (according to exit polls) of those who voted for the candidate running behind -- but who had no intention of voting for any Democrat for president in the GE. Those percentages are only those who were gleefully and proudly hostile to both candidates when asked.

WV probably defined the top of the range for the 23 states where this happened, but it suggests the average spoiler vote in those 23 states had to have been huge, 15-25% perhaps. This phenomenon went almost entirely unreported by the MSM over the months these 23 primaries occurred.

The plot to cost Democrats the election didn't fail, though. This illusion of a close race combined with false claims of stolen elections in every state where the leading candidate got more than 50% of the vote to Democrats undermined the confidence of enough voters that it cost us the presidency.
