Because both said the primaries were "rigged".

Oh, wait. I shouldn't expect anything he says to make sense.

(11,539 posts)Pick up Bernie voters, plain and simple. He hopes he can "con" them into voting for him.

(3,040 posts)But, Sanders supporters aren't as stupid as his redneck supporters are so I doubt it will be successful.

(1,729 posts)Which is where many of the Bernie folks left this site for. There are a number of people over on that allegedly progressive site claiming that Trump is the lesser of two evils and they're going to vote for him. One even said she'd crawl through glass to do so.
Mind you, I think that site represents a small minority of Sanders supporters overall, but they represent a rather large portion of the Sanders supporters from this website. To see them now talking about Trump is a candidate is quite disheartening, especially when some of the people calling for that still post here.
Else You Are Mad
(3,040 posts)He can win over the Sanders supporters by saying things like this. He won't win over more than a handful of any.

(6,444 posts)and when Cruz kept stealing Superdelegates from States Trump had won and when Cruz and others were getting ready to try to "contest" the convention!

(3,284 posts)but Trump has to be the biggest one-upper I've ever seen. He never misses an opportunity to remind people that he did ___ before or better than anyone else. He's like a child!
Her Sister
(6,444 posts)Once they catch on that fact they use the term any chance they get! It serves them to keep those parts outraged!
That's just one scummy tool they use!

(3,284 posts)"Rigged" and "The establishment" play heavily in this election cycle. Catnip is a good description.
Donald Trump presenting himself as being against those things is ludicrous. He is the rigged establishment he's the rich guy who's done nothing but step on "the little people" to get ahead his whole life. For him to act like he's one of us now is truly disgusting. I can't believe anyone buys into that shit.

(13,340 posts)Some of those folks have drunk so deeply of Hillary Hate that they would rather see Trump get elected.
nolawarlock
(1,729 posts)One poster keeps saying she will crawl through glass for Trump if Hillary is the nominee. And a lot of those people still post here and that site is apparently ok to share ad nauseam here as well. I'm surprised Stormfront hasn't become acceptable.
