(24,414 posts)Should Bernie repudiate any Republicans voting for him in open primaries (or in the GE)? After all, I have heard that, unlike Hillary, Bernie can attract Indie and Republican voters and work with the Republicans in Congress. Did we give President Obama grief for attracting some Republican votes in 2008 (and probably in 2012)?

(12,754 posts)Are asking Bernie to repudiate endorsements from people they don't like. Unless, there is one set of rules for Mrs. Clinton and another set for everyone else.

(24,414 posts)but I suppose that I would leave it up to the candidates to decide whose support they want to have/repudiate. I would assume (hope) that David Duke/KKK hasn't endorsed Hillary and/or Bernie and I would *hope* that both of our candidates would repudiate them. Other than them or some other obviously vile organization, I don't really care. Who are some people suggesting Bernie repudiate?

(3,580 posts)You mean Hillary can draw voters from the GOP? I was told only Bernie could do that.

(20,176 posts)I've seen nothing to suggest that GOP establishment voters will follow suit...and an awful lot to suggest that they just simply won't regardless who the GOP nominee is if the Democratic nominee is Clinton.
But even if they don't vote for her, and I do thinks some will, a huge number who hate Trump will sit out the election and NOT vote. Kind of like many here on DU say they will do if Clinton wins the nomination, although I think there are a lot more republicans who will sit this elections out than "real" Democrats will.

This is almost as good as seeing the Neocons take out after Trump for being irresponsible.
