Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumTwo more Republicans for Bernie.
I guess I'll just start collecting these and post when I have five or ten at a time:
Have been living in Vermont for many years, have voted for Bernie every time, very proud of him, he tells us whats wrong, and how to fix it, never ran a dirty campaign, so as a Republican, Marine vet, and Minister, Im voting for Bernie Sanders.
Clifford isnt the only Republican taking notice, Hertz tells of another staunch member of the GOP who is abandoning the party in favor of Sanders. This Reagan Republican wrote a lengthy comment on another of the writers posts and explained why he likes the Vermont Senator. Part of his reason is that Bernie Sanders is a crusader of the middle class:
Everything he did was for the American worker, from protecting them from outsourcing and cheap foreign labor, to fixing the budget deficit by hiking taxes on the rich, to boosting the minimum wage. Hed be considered a centrist back in the 80s, which is why he has my vote.
Its HUGE that Bernie Sanders is stealing not just a religious veteran away from the GOP, but also a Reagan Republican. Those are two of their ideal voters. When you think of Republican voters, your mind probably immediately lands on someone who is religious, a veteran or someone who believes Reagan was a super hero. So to lose those types of voters, the ones they dont even think they have to work to keep is almost unheard of and its not just these two voters.

with some Republicans, and not just a handful either.
In Bernie's own state of Vermont, he regularly gets 21-25% of Republican Vermonters' votes,

we've had a Presidential candidate who was willing to tell it like it is. Bernie does! His appeal is so strong across all demographics, I just don't see how he doesn't win the nomination!
PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

and they worship him.
Now, Eisenhower would be ashamed. Maybe even Nixon, when he was sober.
