Some South Carolina Republican Leaders Will Try to Persuade Trump Supporters to Choose a Democratic Primary Ballot and Vote for Bernie Sanders

According to this article, some leaders of the South Carolina Republican Party will launch a campaign to persuade supporters of President Donald Trump to choose a Democratic presidential primary ballot on February 29, and to vote for Bernie Sanders. This is a self-conscious attempt to injure the Democratic Party.

South Carolina primaries have always been open. There is no registration by party in South Carolina, so on primary day, any voter is free to choose any party’s ballot. However, there is no Republican presidential primary in South Carolina this year. Thanks to Political Wire for the link.

  1. Bernie Sanders will get destroyed by Trump. I am sure Democrats have done this in the past too.

  2. This happens on a small scale where it’s possible but the number of people who meet the threshold of caring enough about the outcomes to go out and cast a vote in another party’s primary but are also willing to follow orders from on high about whom to support is probably not significant, especially considering that we’re talking about Trump supporters, most of whom think he’s unbeatable.

  3. No, I was correct. Most people see Bernie as a communist nut, which he is. He’s unelectable nationally.

  4. communists v fascists

    1922 Italy >>> Mussolini
    1933 Germany >>> Hitler
    1939 Spain >>> Franco

  5. Chuck, you severely misunderstand how Bernie is going to be seen by the working people. Unlike others in the corrupt Democratic Party, Bernie has been fighting for the working class for decades. Sure, the Republicans will do the same stupid thing they always do, call him a communist, which would be a lie, since at best he’s a social democrat. Please explain why there are so many polls showing that Bernie would beat Trump, please. These date back to 2016, and even today they keep coming out. Bernie is the most electable person running in the Democratic Party, but sure, vote for him because you think he’s not. I can’t wait til President Bernie Sanders happens and surprises you.
