Those constituency that would likely re-elect Walker and Brownback, are they more or less likley to vote for Sanders? It would seem to me that they are (politically speaking) polar opposites.

I have claimed several times in the last few days that Wisconsin is a wild card when it comes to their POTUS selection, and this apparently didn't go over to well with Bernie supporters. They were rallying and thumping chests because of a recent straw poll putting Bernie within 9 points of Hillary.

And Obama wasn't Republican lite? MoonRiver Jun 2015 #16

Which Obama? jeff47 Jun 2015 #18

He also stated in 2008 that Ronald Reagan was his hero. MoonRiver Jun 2015 #19

It's generally a good idea to actually read all the way through the post. jeff47 Jun 2015 #21

I'm not going to argue with you about what Obama meant in 2008. MoonRiver Jun 2015 #23

Your analysis assumes identical turnout. jeff47 Jun 2015 #27

isn't that what the straw poll is trying imply? Sheepshank Jun 2015 #29

No, the straw poll is self-selected, and party activists. jeff47 Jun 2015 #30
