Spartanburg and Greenville Republican voters are feeling the Bern these days, so to speak.

“We’d like to have a hand in helping the president by giving him an avowed socialist to face in November,” said Ron Tamaccio, former chairman of the Greenville Tea Party.

“We anticipate that if just a small percentage of Republican voters cross over and vote for Bernie Sanders on Feb. 29, that he will prevail over Joe Biden in our state.”

Tea Party organizers have launched a Facebook page called “Trump 229” to urge Republicans statewide to vote in the open primary.
