Quote:About 20 percent of likely Democratic voters say they would buck the party and vote for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in a general election, according to a new poll.

IMO it is because the Dems are giving them no other option. Hillary is damaged goods and is being challenged by a socialist in his mid 70s.

I have no idea why they didn't go after Warren, Crying Joe, or even trot Joe Flacco err...John Kerry back out there. They put all their eggs in one basket. Folks poke(d) fun at all the GOP candidates but at least they have choices.

Dems have no challengers because it's political payback for bill Clinton saving Obamas last election.

You kind of answered your own question as to why. The 3 bozos you listed make the Republicans look pretty damn good, and we certainly can't have that.

No way Warren is a bozo, glad she didn't throw her hat in the ring.  i was told a "dream Dem ticket" would be Warren and DeBlasio.

Because that party is practically socialist

You mean her headdress.

14% of Republicans would vote for Clinton.



I have a big problem with this poll. I'd like to see exactly how they asked their questions and who they asked. I really can't see that large a portion of Republicans claiming they would vote for Clinton unless there was more to the question. There are currently only 2 or 3 Republican candidates getting more than 14% in the polls I see.

You must have missed the fine print, they meant BILL Clinton.

I'm surprised only 20% of Democrats are functionally brain dead.

So only 20% of Democrats are as insane as 75% of Republicans?

If you're a democrat that would vote for the Donald, you're not just a bad democrat, you're a bad voter.

I'm surprised that it's only 20%.

Because most of them voted for Obama.
