With Trumps slide in the polls this week we might see more independents voting in the Dem. primary

As Trump has gone more hard right and even more unhinged we could see independents who are tired of the Washington power brokers vote in bigger numbers for Bernie than in the earlier primarys. Even if a small amount of angry independents switch to Bernie from Trump it could tip the scales in a close race. I believe there are a lot of Americans who do not trust the 1% and want change, so far Trump has inspired people who may not have voted in the past to vote but I think that a number of those new voters may be having second thoughts about Trump, these new voters could easily switch to voting for Bernie.
