The Hill: Republicans urging GOP voters to vote for Sanders in South Carolina primary: report

[TomCADem]

Bernie Sanders is just the gift that keeps on giving for Republicans, since he spends so much energy attacking the Democratic party as being no different than Republicans, and convincing his supporters to just stay home if he does not win. At this point, he biggest applause lines are when he attacks "Establishment Democrats." Win or lose, I am sure Republicans are going to be saving videos of Bernie's attacks on the Democratic party for the November election.

The plan - orchestrated by Greenville GOP chairman Nate Leupp and several other prominent Republican Party leaders - revolves around GOP leadership's belief that Sanders poses the least amount of challenge to President Trump in November's general election and its goal of getting the Palmetto State's Democratic lawmakers to agree to close the state's primaries.

"Bernie Sanders is the most socialistic, liberal candidate running in the Democratic presidential preference primary," Leupp told The Post and Courier. "So we feel we can make a strong point that our Democratic state legislators need to help work to close our primaries so it protects them as well as the Republican brand."

Currently, South Carolina has open primaries, meaning voters don't have to be associated with a political party in order to cast a ballot.

According to the paper, Leupp and company are set to unveil their plan on Thursday at a press conference at the GOP's headquarters in Greenville.
