A teapartier would never vote for Hillary for same reason they wont vote for Obama
bigotry, racism, misogyny etc.
Would not matter what positions they took.
But, maybe some would vote for Bernie and maybe that is the reason Bernie doesnt bring up the social issues nearly as much as the economic issues.
Maybe some on the right would be willing to vote for him as long as he just doesnt talk about the social issues much, even if they know Bernie is, and he is, on the left on those issues. I say on the left, I mean on the adult, correct side.
By staying with the populist talk he can get votes Hillary cant get.
