2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernie is within 3 points of Hillary in swing-state Virginia [View all]Oilwellian
(12,647 posts)36. They ALL think he's the only candidate worth voting for in this election
because they like the fact that he can't be bought and he hasn't been corrupted by money.
They said all of the Republican candidates are corrupt and they made a bitter beer face
when I asked what they thought of Hillary, so I guess they won't be supporting her if she makes it to the GE. IMHO, we'll see Virginia go red once again if that happens.
Their motives are pure from what I could tell. They're genuinely concerned about the direction the country is heading and they're tired of the corruption they see in both parties. Trump scares they hell out of them, one even said they would leave the country for safety's sake if he becomes president. They describe Bernie as a breath of fresh air.

I think most regular republicans kind of liked the New Deal. Bernie is a straight up New Dealer.

Or, being a small shop, they made legitimate errors that they caught after publishing.

Of course not, we all know that if they don't show Hillary winning they are not legit.
