The article also goes on to back my argument as to why Sanders would have won. I have argued that very few Sanders supporters voted for Trump, that most stayed home or went with Stein but the article does make the argument that it didn't take very many to swing the election to Trump.

As I've noted many times, the only difference in Corporate (R)'s (which is nearly all of them) and Corporate (D)'s is one will argue you should be able to pee wherever you want.
Wow -- that's news to me. Which party supports the repeal of public urination laws?

I'm going to vote like a Republican, for my own self interests. I always vote Democrat because I believe in helping out the poor and the disadvantaged. Being in the top 3% means I don't benefit from any of these social programs. However, Trump raised my taxes because he removed SALT deductions. Now I'll vote Democrat again to lower my taxes.

All of them outside of the Republicans.

This is why I keep saying the Dems will blow it in 2020 and we will get 4 more years of the Great Pumpkin.
Sanders is not going to get any traction in this bid.

The person you want to watch is Sherrod Brown. This is a man who unseated Republican Mike Dewine for Senate. He has a wide base, including Republicans, and Brown would easily take Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, which would leave Trump sitting at home.

I'm an ultra-conservative, but registered as a Democrat so I can vote in the primaries, but I would have voted for Sanders, too, for the same reason.
