When is the last time so many visible members of one party supported the candidate from the other party?

    Trump had the highest turnout in any Republican primary of all time. Wonder where those people came from?

    So you are saying the established are backing the establishment candidate?

    Not surprising

    Since our nation's population gets larger every year, it would make sense that each 4 years you'd have more people turning out to such events. It isn't really that big a deal, especially with the rest of the dreck that was running against him.

    It is a bit more profound.

    They are backing the candidate from the OTHER party.

    So why were Democratic primary numbers down?

    I'm not convinced they were. I'd have to see the methodology of whatever analysis backs up your claim. But there could be a lot of reasons, such as... so many Dems were convinced that Clinton had it in the bag, they didn't feel the need to turn out for primaries. It could also be that some of those turning out for Bernie's events weren't counted in the analysis if they weren't registered as Dems. Depends on what numbers you believe, and the methodology used to derive those numbers.

    OZONE...the Clinton lapdog...there are estimates of up to 20% of democrats voting for Trump, and you and CNN are worried about these 5 ladies. Love this part as well...

    Her temporary transition to Democratic volunteer might seem all too convenient at first: She was recently married to Tim Lim, the founder of a media buying firm called Precision and a partner at Bully Pulpit Interactive, which has a contract with the Clinton campaign.

    So you aren't convinced of math. Specifically, something like down 20%, and that's including all the non-Democrat independents that came out to vote Bernie in the open primaries.

    Arf....arf...

    I didn't realize you were this stupid.

    Not that I bothered paying attention to you before.

    The math depends on the methodology, and what is and isn't included in the denominator and numerator for the equation.

    You might learn that if you ever make it to college. But you sound like a typical blue collar Trump support. Dropped out in the 9th grade?

    Yup. Since then over 100,000 crossed party lines in Pennsylvania alone to vote Trump in the primary. Go read Van Jones' take on it.

    Keep lapping up the Clinton Kool Aide...arf...arf...

    The GOP establishment wants Hillary to win.

    She is money in the bank.

    True. Funny too how this CNN article with no stats or anything magically shows up on the same day Hills gets her FBI interview. All for lemmings like OZONE to try and propogate/diffuse the news of the day.

    They were votes.

    Methodology used was counting.

    It went something like this... One, two, three, four, five, six, etc.

    Still confused?
