9. "Sometimes, the tent is just too fucking big, and you know it." 55% of Bernie supporters

would have to be kicked out of the tent if opposing 'free trade' is the litmus test for inclusion in the tent. (And 67% of Trump supporters would have to be invited into the tent.)

Of course, those 55% of Bernie supporters who think 'free trade' is a 'good thing' support Democratic values in almost every other way. And the 67% of Trump supporters who think 'free trade' is a bad thing oppose almost everything else that Democrats stand for.

The tent may be "too fucking big" but we don't want to make it too small either.
