An analysis by The Upshot last week showed that Mr. Trump is popular with registered Democrats who identify as Republican leaners, drawing 43 percent of their support. What is more, his best states are those with traditions of Democrats who vote Republican in presidential elections.............This should worry the RATS!

We need to repeat one simple statement over and over and over

YOU’VE BEEN VOTING DEMOCRAT FOR YEARS AND YOU’RE STILL POOR

MAYBE YOU’RE POOR *BECAUSE* YOU VOTE DEMOCRAT

I don’t think they’ll have to work too hard. People don’t like Hitlery.

The key is whether they stay after the primary.

Most modern democrats are a devious bunch, whose devotion to their party supersedes all else. They’ll happily cross over and vote for the GOP candidate whose nomination they perceive will more easily clear the path for their nominee.

I am probably being a tad cynical (HA) but I read this as something of a ‘slam’ towards Trump.
Unless HE writes it, it usually ends up being a slam against Trump.

That said....

Isn’t the whole idea of campaigning to ‘win over the ‘other’ side’?

These fools spend billions on a campaign include basically throwing out ANYONE that vaguely disagrees with the candidate.

The money (IMNSHO) should be put to use getting (or buying if that makes you feel better) people to vote for YOU.

All these modern day campaigns are turning into ‘love fests’ for the candidate and hurling insults at each other, when the actual job should be to convey what YOU are going to do, NOT what your opponent isn’t going to do.

I still maintain the way to campaign finance ‘reform’ is to only allow contributions from people who are going to be directly affected by the person running...

A mayor of Bum Fleck Iowa should not be receiving campaign donations from China, Missouri, Illinois etc etc etc.

If the guy says I may live in the county surrounding the city so I should get to vote because my office is there, tough - move into the city.

In other words, if you aren’t ‘able’ to run for the office itself, you shouldn’t be able to give money to the campaign.

Naturally age and eligibility to vote would not be a factor, just the geographic faction.

...persuade some Democrats and independents to change parties so that they can vote in states that allow only registered Republicans to participate...

I’m wondering how many people would change their voter registration from Dem to Rep, and how many Indept would actually register Rep just to vote for Trump.

Also, some primaries are set up for either one or the other party ballot, so Dems that vote for Trump wouldn’t be able to vote in the Dem primary. Texas is set up this way, but prior party registration isn’t required. This would affect local/state primary contests.

You can turn this (exagerated):

“ “Myra Belle “Sally” Miller — the 195”8 Miss Arkans”as who said in 19”92 that she had ”had an affair with Clin”ton in 1983. ”She claimed” that she” had been ”warned no”t to go public by a Demo”cratic” Party official: “They knew that I went jogg”ing by myself and he couldn’t guar”antee what would happen to my pr”etty little legs.” “

Into this:

"Myra Belle "Sally" Miller -- the 1958 Miss Arkansas who said in 1992 that she had had an affair with Clinton in 1983. She claimed that she had been warned not to go public by a Democratic Party official: "They knew that I went jogging by myself and he couldn't guarantee what would happen to my pretty little legs."

Real easy here:

Replace smart quotes with regular straight quotes
