Democratic Primaries

Bernard Sanders

If I lived in that lovely state, I actually would have no particular problem sending an honest and ethical socialist to join our overwhelmingly liberal Democratic caucus, but that's not the alternative VTers have to voting for a Republican. What kind of person would promise to try to steal the Democratic nomination from the choice of Democratic voters, much less try? Today's Republicans ruthlessly depend on and support election theft, of course, but that's virtually unheard of among the liberal Democrats Sanders despises. And Sanders doesn't go on our record.

As for those ratings, probably not more than half, if that, of predominantly white rural VTers are liberal by nature and ideology, the rest conservative, most leaning moderate. And because of that overall moderate conservative culture, by far most VT conservatives don't approve of rabid Republicans and vote as conservative Democrats. And those figures suggest they approve of Sanders performance as much as some others, I'm assuming including of his hostility to the liberal Democratic Party. This is 2020 and they are conservatives, after all.
