I am in a very red area and I will be working the polls tomorrow night. I am definitely interested to see how it's going to turn out.

voters don't play those games. They think their candidate is the strongest one and trying to manipulate the other party's choices is just as ridiculous as the GOPuke claims of voter fraud.

Nobody is going to come out for Sanders to throw the nomination to him. The GOPukes have their own problems vis a vis Trump v Cruz v Kasich. They aren't going to throw away votes on either Democratic candidate.

Republican Operatives Try to Help Bernie Sanders

These Republican operatives are attempting to pick their Democratic opponent in the general election, and they’re making clear they’d rather face Sanders than Clinton. It is age-old political manipulation tactic, typically used with some subtlety. It comes as recent polls show Sanders as competitive in Iowa and leading in New Hampshire, where back-to-back Sanders victories could endanger Clinton's national lead.

... in their own primary. This is why, even in open primary states, the turnout for the Republican primary has been higher than the turnout in the Democratic primary, despite the fact that more voters identify themselves as Democrats.

They're dumb enough to think that Hillary can beat Trump, that's not our problem. It obvious they haven't seen the polls that Bernie is the one they need to watch out for. So let them vote for Bernie.
