Just wondering, the GOP should dislike Sanders more than Clinton based on him being even more left than her.

So if people are saying Trump is doing well because democrats are voting for him because it is "open". How come they aren't voting for Clinton for the same reason?

mostly the posts on CD about people voting for Trump makes no sense to me, if they didn't support him, they wouldn't vote for him...

It makes sense if your party nominee is already a lock and you live in an open primary/caucus state. Why not use your vote to help determine who your party candidate will be going up against?

Lots of Republicans did the same thing in the 2008 primary. Crossed over and voted for Hillary.

Operation Chaos baby!
