Tea Party: GOP voters should help Sanders in Feb. 29 Dem primary

Spartanburg and Greenville Republican voters are feeling the Bern these days, so to speak.

A coordinated effort by each county’s Tea Party is underway to upend the Feb. 29 Democratic presidential primary and help Republican President Donald Trump win re-election.

“We’d like to have a hand in helping the president by giving him an avowed socialist to face in November,” said Ron Tamaccio, former chairman of the Greenville Tea Party.

“We anticipate that if just a small percentage of Republican voters cross over and vote for Bernie Sanders on Feb. 29, that he will prevail over Joe Biden in our state.”

Tea Party organizers have launched a Facebook page called “Trump 229” to urge Republicans statewide to vote in the open primary.

and are trying to destroy Biden.

LOYAL Democrats should be flocking to back Biden - who is winning by the largest margin in the swing states.

Oh but who cares about that right...let's talk policy!

Two have told me they will vote for Sanders in the MO primary. I like Sanders but they do not see him as a threat in 2020.

My goal is to remove Trump.
