Is she talking about crossover voting in the primaries, or general election.
I know Progressives (read: pseudointelectuals) who are planning to vote in the primaries for Trump as mischief making.
I also know Democrats (read: blue collar Reagan-type) who are planning to do so in both the primary and general.
Given the social circles Atkinson runs in, I’m thinking her friends are talking about the primaries. But I like hearing the stories about middle class Americans who are saying they will in the general.
