Related: About this forumTucker Carlson Delivers GOP a Warning: Bernie Sanders Could Win 'Many Thousands' of Trump Voters
By Josh Feldman Jan 20th, 2020, 9:08 pm
Fox News Tucker Carlson warned Republicans tonight about how 2020 isnt in the bag for them and how Bernie Sanders in particular could beat President Donald Trump and even win over some of his supporters.
Republicans are starting to think that victory is assured, and thats a mistake, he said. America remains as divided as it was three years ago Trump could lose. Will he lose? Well, that depends entirely what he runs on.
Carlson said Trumps MAGA message clearly resonated with voters who saw Trump as someone who could solve their problems.
The economic numbers now, Carlson said, are good but things are not fixed:

(673 posts)You're fooling yourself.
Sanders and socialism would be a step too far for them. They'd just stay home. It's the very suburban college educated voters who helped turn the house blue. They're in the Dem camp now, they fit better in the Dem camp than in the GOP now. However, they aren't willing to go tot he far left.
The democratic party is a coalition, and the far left is a very small part of that. You can't expect for democrats to stick with somebody who has spent his entire life railing against democrats.
This is why he's unelectable. He loses the center, there most democrats are.

(15,290 posts)as Trump ran on in 2016. He's saying to these voters "I know your life is hard. I will make it better". That's a very powerful message.
I've posted this before, but in the 2016 primary in Pennsylvania, Sanders won about all the state's "red" counties. These places aren't full of leftist socialists, but they are full of struggling lower-to-middle class families who were receptive to this populist pitch.

Not an action one would call courageous by any means, but any port in a storm, right?

Sanders, the independent senator for Vermont and a candidate in the Democratic primary for the party's 2020 presidential nomination, is liberal on many immigration issues but is staunchly opposed to open borders, despite the policy's popularity on the left.
"If he went back to his original position, which is the pro blue-collar positionI mean, it totally makes sense with him," Coulter said in an appearance on PBS's Firing Line with Margaret Hoover on Wednesday night.
"If he went back to that position, I'd vote for him, I might work for him. I don't care about the rest of the socialist stuff. Just, can we do something for ordinary Americans?"

(17,390 posts)I wonder why? Perhaps Bernie's history of scapegoating immigrants and blaming them for job losses by the middle class resonates with them? Otherwise, how do you explain why extreme right wingers and racists like Tucker Carlson and Ann Coulter are jumping on the Bernie Sanders bandwagon?
