Is anyone here talking about the repug crossover vote?

It seems that there is a record number, but both Limbaugh and Hannity are telling them to do it and vote for Hillary. They refer to it as operation Chaos - designed to nominate Hillary because she carries the most baggage and they feel that she is the most beatable.

1. It has been discusses occasionally

It is a topic that has caused a good deal of strife here.

3. I've been wondering that myself

"She was also winning among white men, a swing group in contests for far, by about 10 percentage points."

Gee, I wonder if any of these could be the morons that Rush Limbaugh told to switch to the Democratic party and vote for Hillary... Naw, must be a coincidence!

4. They Only Wish...

The first leap of faith is that the GOOP can coordinate such crap...especially in areas where Democratic registration is high. 300,000 new voters were added to the rolls...people who not only must commit to voting Democratic in the primary but to be affiliated with that party in future elections. While some rabid wingnuts may think this is fun, IMHO most people take their affiliations very seriously and aren't switching cause some asshat on the radio told them so. That's only feeding egos that need to believe they have "influence" to keep their corporate masters and sponsors happy.

Primaries ARE NOT like General elections...never have been, never will be. What brings a person out to vote in a primary is usually a far different set of reasons than what they will vote about in the Fall. To think that a handful of "dittoheads" can swing a 10 point win is discounting both the growth of the Democratic Party and the discontent of the electorate. It's real and it's focused against the status quo...and in specific the GOOPers and the very asshats Rushbo and his ilk are owned by. Of course they'll blunderbust...they've got the "golden microphone" that has long disconnected with the majority of those showing up at the polls.

The real "chaos" is the drop in ratings these shows have taken and their urgent need to create some kind of bullshit to get attention. It's the corporate media game of feeding the trolls.

Cheers...
