(3,343 posts)He's been called a socialist by people like yourself for months and months.
He's currently the only democrat beating all the Republicans in national polls.
He's beating Hillary in national polls.
Since he started running polls have shown that Democrats PREFER socialism to capitalism.
As for the dirt.
Hilary has the same dirt on her.
Corrupt: check
Tied to big money: check
Flip flopping on positions: check
disliked personally: check
Now the rub is that Trump is seen by more as honest than Clinton.
Trump is seen as more honest - by a mile - in his own party.
Hillary is going to suppress the vote on the left.
Trump (and Hillary) are going to drive up the vote on the right.
Hillary supporters also think that the endless baggage she has won't matter because it's not true. That is meaningless. He is a MASTER at making innuendo stick. He has so much to work with with Clinton and she's not a competent enough candidate to fire back effectively.
Her attacks on Sanders have fallen flat, and as we've seen they've driven down her own trust numbers and positives. No one believes her. Especially no one on the right. Plus Bill is failing to connect like he used to, and he's often off point... PLUS.. we all know that every single Clinton sex scandal is coming back... and probably some new ones...
Plus all the corruption stuff, which everyone but Clintonites find convincing.
Plus 2016 is the year of the outsider and Hillary is seen as the ultimate insider.
