Some PA "MAGA rally" attendees said they are open to voting for a Democrat over Trump in 2020

Interesting. Some voters interviewed by NBC News *at Trump's rally tonight* said they're open to voting for a Democrat over Trump in the next election.

" I will keep an open mind in 2020, but it will just depend on who [Democrats] pick."

we can swing 5-10% of his supporters in 2020. That would be enough to slaughter him in the General Election.

ignorant sack of shit, so I see few if any tRump voters opting for the D candidate. They simply won’t have the “qualities” these R voters feel are important.

5-10% as I said above, who may be persuadable. The other 90%? Nah, they’re the deplorable trash Clinton referred to.

To me that reads, "If it's someone the Rump and social media don't bash relentlessly, then maybe, just maybe I might consider thinking about voting for him." No one on earth exists whom the Rump and social media won't bash.

I'm not getting excited about this tidbit.

His rambling incoherent babble is not interesting, titillating, or amusing unless you are as addle-minded as he is.

I don't believe these people. I suspect they just want to claim a supposedly virtuous position that they do not actually hold (being thoughtful, open-minded, etc), and not pay the full social cost of supporting/condoning Trump and all that he does.
