In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Organizer Screams Expletives at Rally: 'F*ck Hillary! F*ck Hillary!' [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)20. WaPo mentioned Craig in "Can Bernie Sanders really win over Trump voters?"
article. Sounds like he was trying to "warm up" a crowd that was fairly cool to Sanders' attempt to turn their populist anger on Trump for failing them. Playing the Sanders' and Trump' campaigns "burn the witch" cards. They're both extremely worn and singed around the edges from 2016; but given their outstanding success among populists both trumpsters and sanders-ites then, we no doubt will be seeing a lot more of this.
Sorry, Hillary. Let's hope this left-wing trumpsterism appalls and disgusts many millions.
MADISON, Wis. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) walked onstage here Friday under a gray sky with occasional specks of snow and launched into a full-on attack against President Trump, labeling him a pathological liar in a state that was key to Trumps victory in 2016.
The blistering attacks on the president reflect Sanderss developing, and arguably risky, strategy of reaching out to Trumps voters ... Its a sharp contrast with other Democratic candidates who are focused on mobilizing Trump opponents. ...
The most striking example of this strategy will play out Monday night when Sanders appears at a town hall meeting hosted by Fox News Channel, an outlet many Democrats detest and one the party has blocked from hosting a debate. Sanders says its important to talk to Fox viewers directly and tell them Trump misled them.
Sanderss approach faces a significant test in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, where many white, working-class voters were drawn to Trumps fiery populist message in 2016. Sanders argues that he can reclaim these voters by convincing them he can deliver the economic relief they were seeking all along. ...
At a Sanders appearance in Michigan, Christina Fong, who supported Sanders in 2016, said she knows some people who voted for Sanders and then Trump. Sanders can win them back, she said.
Unfortunately, a lot of times people are really angry, and sometimes they displace that anger, said Fong, a 54-year-old musician from Grand Rapids. So they remain angry, which he taps into, she added, speaking of Sanders. ...
