Ann Coulter says she could vote for Bernie Sanders if he changed views on immigration

[FM123]

What an idiot - I can not imagine that ANY of our candidates would want that whack job Coulter voting for or God forbid, working for them....

(The Hill) Conservative commentator Ann Coulter said she would vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for president, and even consider working for him, if he changed his position on immigration.

If Sanders changed his immigration stance to include policies such as "protecting the border" he would have Coulter's vote, she said in an interview on PBS's "Firing Line with Margaret Hoover."

“If he went back to that position I’d vote for him, I might work for him,” she said. “I don’t care about the rest of the socialist stuff.”

Sanders, who is running for the 2020 Democratic nomination, has said that he does not support open borders, but that he does support immigration reform, including restructuring Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Coulter is an immigration hard-liner who was a vocal supporter of President Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign. She has since soured on the president, who she said "hasn’t kept any of his promises."

1. Bernie to Ann: No thank you.

13. "Bernie Sanders says he does not support open borders"

Sen. Bernie Sanders pushed back Sunday against claims that he supports an open border policy, adding that poverty across the globe would cause an influx of migrants to the border if that system were in place.

During a town hall in Oskaloosa, Iowa, Sanders was asked by an attendee about how the United States can afford to fund social services such as health care, with an open borders policy.

The attendee also claimed the Vermont senator is "an advocate for open borders."

“I’m afraid you may be getting your information wrong. That’s not my view,” Sanders said.

"What we need is comprehensive immigration reform,” he continued. "If you open the borders, my God, there's a lot of poverty in this world, and you're going to have people from all over the world. And I don't think that's something that we can do at this point. Can't do it.

2. I may not be a Bernie backer this time around, but he isn't anywhere close to being anything like

any of the vile pieces of shit she has, and does, support. She knows she's a lie and would never in a million years vote for Bernie. The republicans are scared and are getting that ratfucking train rolling early trying to divide us. We see you, Ann.

10. Puff him to the disaffected left, tear down for the RW.

A bunch of RW talking heads are doing versions of this.

Given the great success of this tactic last time, they need to use Sanders against Democrats again, so they're publicizing him big time, blowing hot and cold but always puffing him up as a national figure.

But since Sanders is going after disappointed trumpster populists big time, they're educating them that, no matter how appealing the rhetoric might sound, left-wing populism is only social conservative-lite and isn't actively nasty enough to meet their hard-core trumpster "standards."

12. To be a bit more defined, she actually said "if he went back to that position I'd vote for him." NT
