Maybe what Bernie needs is a delegate-rollover plan. If he carries over the delegates from this election....

(9,148 posts)40% of his WV voters also really like Trump.
Makes sense. Trump borrows bernies anti Hillary slogans, and their share the same voter demographic & their goal is not about presenting a sound working public policy but to defeat Hillary, so why wouldnt he?
Their biggest problem in both July & Nov is their 1 demographic.
Hillary has all the rest in a solid majority.
Thats why they will both lose to Hillary Clinton.
Hillary's base.
See how that works?

(25,505 posts)My impression is that "also" might not be necessary in that sentence. I think they were Trump voters all along who decided to mess with the primary. I don't think they ever had any plans to vote for Sanders in November.
I could certainly be wrong, it's mostly just a hunch, but this is the same state where 42% voted in the Dem primary for a guy in jail over Obama in 2012, so I think it's a lot of the same people.
Edit: typo
