Sanders supporters threaten to boycott vote

[Osiris-ODS]

I also see an impeachment of Trump as a certainty that Bernie will win in 2020. He is the only candidate Trump supporters would vote for, if at all (most won't vote at all) just to spite the Establishment.

Clarification needed:

1. Trump is already impeached. Do you mean he will be convicted by the Senate?

2. Do you mean that Trump supporters will vote for Bernie in the Democratic primaries because he is unelectable in a general election?

I was wondering the exact same thing when I read SC's post! Was about to make a similar inquiry, as the way it's written comes across as unusual coming from SC. Haven't read the rest of the replies yet, hope he responded lol

No, that was my mistake, sorry. For clarification, I sometimes use words interchangeably and in this case incorrectly. I view impeachment is an actual removal of office. I don't believe the Senate will do so.

If they do remove him, I do believe, out of spite and anger some Trump supporters will vote for Bernie, to basically give the middle finger to the Establishment. They wanted Trump because he is a disrupter, his policies were best, and he is not a politician. The anti-establishment mood is still prevalent, it's clear.

Even as most might not support Bernies policies, they also have to know the Dems don't want him to win, and, it is a vote that is NOT for Trumps replacement in the GOP (whoever that might be if Trump is removed). Which they definitely will not support. Bernie is a disrupter too, so I believe many will support him to stick the middle finger to BOTH parties if Trump is removed.

Highly unlikely that he is removed, if he is though, there will be big consequences for both parties in different ways. GOP will lose the most of course as Trump has 95% approval and they will backlash heavily on those who voted for his impeachment. They will also stay away from the ballot box of the others who didn't stop it.

Thanks for the clarification, that's what I figured you meant. It's been my impression that your views tend to be more like those of your fellow Canadian Mark Steyn (one of my favorite orators), than your other fellow Canadian Dragonlady.

Mark is smart, but he has also been controversial in Canada. I think he was viewed as a racist, far right extremist (just looked him up, it was Islamaphobic allegations in 2007). This was a few years ago.

We do seem to see eye on some issues from what I have heard of him on Tucker Carlson, which is the only place I've heard him. He has a sense of humour I share as well, though it doesn't translate well online. I don't know how I compare with his views, but he does seem at least rational. If he is racist, which is what he has been accused of; I don't share that perspective.

Hehe Dragonlady doesn't share my perspective or life experiences, so we definitely don't mesh on most issues.

I've never heard Mark say anything remotely racist, and I've listened to hours of him talking on the radio (he fills in for Rush sometimes). But really, any conservative commentator is guaranteed to be dubbed a racist if they so much as utter a statement opposing unchecked illegal immigration, etc. He's very witty and has the natural knack for story telling by having that rare combination of word-choice and timing without even having to think about it in advance.

no one should run for president if they don't feel like they are lucky.

Crazy Bernie is LUCKY. we get lousy socialism, and he gets a free ride to the white house.

unfortunately, there's nothing we can do.
