1. .......

[msongs]

2. who?

[George II]

3. No surprise. Yes, they'll support him until if and when he gets the nomination.

[NurseJackie]

18. Nailed it.

[TwilightZone]

4. Seems to be a coordinated gambit on the right.

They've all suddenly decided to "feel the Bern"; independently, I'm sure.

The sincerity is suspect, of course. They're just trying to get a rise out of Democrats and liberals, though they must apparently also believe he'd be a preferred opponent for Trump.

5. Bingo.

Disrupters gonna disrupt.

[highplainsdem]

8. Yep.

[ucrdem]

6. Make America (I) again

I think that just about captures it.

[JI7]

7. those not in denial know what is going on

[Tipperary]

12. Bingo.

It is pretty obvious.

9. Better late than never.

A tactical ally is always better than a sworn enemy.

Besides which, I think that Coulter's finally seeing through Cheeto's BS.

Even from the standpoint of a staunch immigration opponent, Trump's bad news.

He'll bully and harass them - but at the end of the day, he'll always side with the Chamber of Commerce types that have built their fortune on undocumented labor since forever.

Just like Cheeto himself has.

10. On what planet would Ann Coulter would not want a R to win?

This is a strategy to get the most easily defeatable Democratic candidate win the primaries so it would be easier for Trump and there would be no coattails to improve the numbers in congress.

Remember that almost all Sanders supported candidates in swing districts LOST.

11. Are you kidding me...

...you believe this shit?

[sandensea]

15. I take it with a (big) grain of salt.

But it's possible that she may, in fact, be turning against Cheetolini for reasons of her own.

For the right reasons? Probably not (see post).

But anything that chips away at Trump's polls is good news. And Coulter has many fans.

[lunamagica]

14. Ann Coulter seeing the light? Are you joking?

[sandensea]

16. Not 'seeing the light'

Simply falling out with Cheeto over what she finally sees as his totally insincere stance on illegal immigration, job outsourcing, tax dodging, etc.

Do I expect her to support whoever's the Democratic nominee, once nominated? Of course not.

But her becoming a vocal Cheeto opponent during the general, will go a long way to preventing a second term.

Woman's got a lot of fans.

[pnwmom]

19. But she's not any kind of an ally. I think she thinks Bernie would be weak in the general

so she'd be happy to see him win the primaries.

[sandensea]

20. That's most likely the case, sure. And yet, I wouldn't put going rogue entirely past her.

She's expressed serious disappointment with Idi Trumpin in the recent past - such that, while I'd be shocked to see her back any democrat in the general, it wouldn't surprise me anymore to see her urge her listeners to back a third-party option "to punch Trump in the gut for his betraying our principles."

Go for it, Ann. Go rogue.

[vsrazdem]

13. Just a tactic to keep the Dems fighting among themselves.

[Eric J in MN]

17. Ann Coulter has always been about seeking attention.

She can’t get it by saying she’ll vote for Trump, which she will.

So instead she said maybe she’ll vote for Bernie Sanders.

[SMC22307]

21. She's a professional liar... why would you or any Democrat believe her? (n/t)
