    Sure, you’re not contradicting me.

    It’s not a relevant point except that exciting candidates get a certain amount of people excited regardless of what side they are on.

    No, it’s relevant because it means that progressive politics can mobilize current or future GOP supporters rather than just progressives.

      When people feel lied to is when they’re most willing to change their stances as well. GOP supporters are feeling the economic promises falling short right now and will continue to feel those promises not being kept. I feel that now is the perfect time to be making inroads with GOP supporters.

      Bernie lays it out front and center for people to see who is causing their issues and people are listening.
