and deception right before a national Election Day.....why not try to use Trump to sell fascism to Americans in the same way, is my opinion of the whole scripted affair. Not the same thing exactly, but the main idea is the same.

What more or else is Trump than a poster child for fascism?

So, there are no "Trump Democrats", that is just a side story in the script.

'Trump Democrats'. Two of our primary candidates were actual Reagan Republicans. That's not an accident.

Everything I know about Trump is from decades of family gatherings with the NYC branch of my family. They are obsessed with him. They also love Hillary, Martha Stewart, Cher and the Royal Family.

and then pick which primary you want to vote in on primary day.

When one democratic candidate looks to take my state in a landslide (and I'm okay w/ that candidate), I'm likely to choose to vote in the republican primary and vote for who I think will fail miserably in a general election.
