Tucker Carlson: Bernie Sanders capable of taking 'many thousands' of Trump voters
Basically Tucker decided to trigger some faithful Fox viewers again on his show by speaking unpopular facts -- and even with his spin, he couldn't change the fact that Bernie isn't to be taken lightly...He rightly said that Sanders can take many thousands of Trump voters if he is the Dem candidate..
"Fox News' Tucker Carlson said on Monday said that he thinks Sen. Sanders can take many thousands of votes from Donald Trump if the longtime senator becomes the Democratic presidential nominee. 'America remains as divided as it was three years ago. No matter what happens, nobody’s going to win this election in a national landslide. Those don’t happen anymore. Trump could lose. Will he? That depends on what he runs on. If Sanders pledges to forgive student loans, he’ll still win many thousands of voters who went for Donald Trump last time. Debt is crushing an entire generation of Americans. Republicans need a plan to make it better, or they’ll be left behind.”
He then went on to point out the recent Pew research study that shows just 31% of working class Americans say the economy is helping them and their families, and just 32% say they believe the current economy helps the middle class. Roughly 50% of Americans in the study say they are being hurt by current economic conditions. As usual, nearly 70% of wealthy Americans in the study say the economy is great for them -- but as Tucker said, Trump's base isn't supposed to be the wealthy......So the policies Trump runs on this year matters -- and simply trolling on Twitter, forwarding offensive memes and simple rhetoric won't be enough, he will have to run on policies that appeal to those working class voters -- for real this time...
As Tucker warned...if Republicans think a Trump win in 2020 is going to be a shoe-in, they are making a serious mistake -- just like in 2016, when many thought Hillary was assured.....and speaking of Hillary --- she is also back again, attacking Bernie...why? Because she is a corporate establishment hack...which further proves my point that being a strong progressive is how you win against Trump, not being a moderate shill for corporations who thinks always capitulating to the status quo is how you excite your base...it isn't....
