Conservative Fox Guest: If You Care About Capitalism, Vote Clinton Or Sanders Over Trump

Fox News regular panelist Jonathan Hoenig is about as conservative as they come. But he announced yesterday that he’d vote for Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders over Donald Trump – because either Democrat would be better for the economy than Trump.

In a discussion about the GOP civil war, Hoenig revealed just how much he detests Trump:

HOENIG: I think Trump would be inexorably worse than Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders in the presidency, if you care about capitalism and the future of this country.

…Donald Trump - I know he's supposed to be representing capitalism, free markets - a lot of people cannot get behind someone who advocates for tariffs or banning journalists from their events.

HOST ERIC BOLLING (quickly interrupting): Wait, wait, wait but answer the - the question was, if [Trump] doesn't get quite to 1237 [delegates], and here it is, 1236, you're OK to contest that convention?

HOENIG: Eric, I'll be voting for Bernie or Hillary if Trump's the nominee, so absolutely.

I am confused, I thought Bernie was for some revised trade policies as to tariffs.

Liked him for telling "it like it is", but he wasn't it was a stand up comedian show, today it is not funny. They are stuck with Trump or Cruz. As Lindsay Graham said the difference is getting shot or poisoned, you will still be dead.

Democrats needs to step up for duty, this could be a great four years, we have a chance to shine and it needs to happen.
