Randall | Actually, I haven't decided yet, but I'm seriously considering it. Georgia has open primaries. I think there are also 10 other states that do. We have a big movement right now in Georgia among Republicans to vote for Bernie in hopes that he'll get the nomination. |
BlueRoamer | Do you think that any of the other candidates stand a better chance against Trump? I don't. |
Randall | None of them do, but Bernie will be slaughtered. |
mirage29 | I thought that folks could only vote for their own registered party. Did you unregister yourself as a republican, Randall, in order to vote on the democratic side? |
Randall | No, we have open primaries in Georgia. Any party can vote in a primary. |
mirage29 | Can you vote for one republican and one democrat? |

I don't think so. You have to choose one. At least in Ohio. I'm ****** that people are doing this. It feels like a form of cheating. |

If they didn't stand a chance, you wouldn't be meddling. |
juniperb | Randall, I believe your slaughter comment needs to be revisited. You're coming at it from the boomer mind set. The young'uns today are interested and ready to vote. Since gen x and millenials outnumber the boomers, they have a strong voice in this election. From my observation, socialism is their interest. ------------------ Partial truth~the seeds of wisdom~can be found in many places...The seeds of wisdom are contained in all scriptures ever written… especially in art, music, and poetry and, above all, in Nature.

Randall | It's not cheating if it's the law. Here's the logic behind the strategy. I think only 20 percent of Bernie supporters will actually vote. Those states that decided to award their electoral college to the popular vote will have to give them to President Trump. It's quite brilliant. |
Randall | Also, Bernie will not help any of the Dem elections. In fact, he will hurt them. |
Randall | So, all things considered, a Bernie nomination would be the most ideal. |
Randall | Since when is exercising my lawful right to vote "meddling"? |
BlueRoamer | I think Trump supporters are nervous about Bernie, Trump admitted to being nervous about bernie of all candidates. Why? bernie is slime proof, and he has a vision and a mythology |
Randall | Nah, I don’t think anyone believes Bernie has a chance. |
vansio | Will be an incredible presidential election show: Sanders vs Trump. I gladly accept Randall’s vote for Bernie in the primary considering his party’s nominee is a given! Hope you’re not kidding |
teasel | I hope vansio and BR are right. |
Belage | You do that... and wouldn't it be ironic if Bernie actually beats Trump comes November? Jwhop would flay you for that. It would be the end of your bromance. |
Randall | Not in this reality, pal. Bernie can't shine President Trump's shoes. |
