Katrina Pierson: Bernie Sanders Supporters ‘Sending Me Messages’ They Will Back Donald Trump

Katrina Pierson: Bernie Sanders Supporters ‘Sending Me Messages’ They Will Back Donald Trump If Hillary Clinton ‘Steals’ the Democratic Nomination

National spokeswoman for Donald Trump Katrina Pierson says the real estate mogul would put critical states such as Florida and New York in play for the Republicans — while getting support from Democrats angered by an expected Hillary Clinton nomination.

“When we get to the general election, we have to look at the map. Sen. Ted Cruz hasn’t won a single state that would change anything,” she tells Breitbart News Daily. “Trump has won Florida. He’s going to win New York. Moving forward, we’re going to be in other states where Mr. Trump is going to do really well. And in some of these cases, Ted Cruz is running third,” said Pierson.

“So this idea that Donald Trump would be the ‘weaker’ of the two regarding the vetting process because everyone’s going to go through that — I have to remind you that Donald Trump knows

“The fact that he’s been able to win as many votes as he has and be ahead in the delegate count as he is today, goes to show me that he is strong and he can carry the base. And not to mention his position with regards to trade, and jobs, and the global bank system. We’re going to bring in even [more] new voters, more voters from the independent side, from the Democrat side,” she said.

“I’ve got Sen. Bernie Sanders people sending me messages — it’s surreal — saying that if they steal the nomination from Bernie they’re voting for Trump,” she added. “So he is definitely the only candidate that can beat Hillary Clinton in the fall.”

Wow. That sends a big message as to who Trump supporters really are.

Yes, what I've known all along, pissed off Americans. When you become suitably pissed off, you'll support Trump, too.

(PS: I was around when Reagan was running for President, and not a kid either. There are amazing parallels between the two, amazing! When I look at Donald Trump, I see one last chance for America, and we really don’t deserve it.)


I was also an adult in 1980, and the differences are many. The only thing they have in common is both were targets of their party establishments.

Reagan didn’t cry how everything was unfair and he was being cheated
Reagan would have never gotten into Twitter Wars with anyone who disagreed with him. Reagan would have never defended Nancy by posting an unflattering picture of Roslyn Carter
Reagan didn’t have a near 70% unfavorable rating with the public
Reagan knew and understood that he had to unite the party’s base before seeking the support of Dems and Indies. Trump and his backers believe the base can be replaced with the two groups
Reagan gad principles. Trump has “negotiable” positions which his supporters will find out if/ when get gets the nomination

Reagan was a likable gentleman who knew how to fight without alienating people outside his base of support.

Everyone is “suitably” pissed off. But then one has to go beyond the emotional into the logical.

The issue many of have with Trump are many. But I guess the underlying issue is the resentment those of us have that while we were working to get conservatives elected with the hopes that they would at least attempt to govern as such, the guy who now is convincing the gullible that he’s the true anti establishment candidate was donating to those we were opposing

Trump is running and winning with conservative solutions to the problems we face. What the hell else do you want? Cruz is like every other “conservative” politician. They say conservative things, vote for or against bills to enhance their conservative credentials but in the end, their conservative values lead to an ever increasing federal government. Where is the value in that “conservative” game? It always ends up with the very same results. Cruz, like most politicians are merely “conservative posers” posing for their reelection. btw, Cruz is ineligible so taking him seriously as a candidate is moot.

Trump is winning this primary. Why do you have such difficulty understanding that? It is stunning that otherwise extremely intelligent people like yourself are so blinded from the facts in front of you. Do you think Cruz is going to win tonight? I mean come on. I would risk owing a million dollars on that bet. And if I lost, I’d be in huge trouble but I also would never be more comfortable with the bet knowing I’d win it.

There is a growing % of voters who are willing to cast their vote for Trump, Bernie, A-Rod or Colonel Sanders so long as it would deliver a stinging defeat to the establishment.

I don’t think anyone here believes that Cruz is going to have a good night.

The difference is you’ll not hear people cry how unfair everything is

Democrats back then weren’t into the free goods game?

Question: were you alive back then? The Reagan democrats were mostly hardworking Americans that were sick of the Carter economy, OPEC and the national malaise.

Bernie supporters are a bunch of flag stomping, America hating Free Stuff Army. The two groups have about as much in common as Trump and someone of integrity.

So, if you believe that conservative candidates that run on conservatism but fail to govern as such should be held to account, and I agree they should, what confidence do you have that the recently conservative Trump who has said himself his positions are negotiable are the real deal?

Besides, “ the government will pay for healthcare” is not a conservative position. Nor is adopting 9/11 conspiracy theories and left it’s talking points on Iraq

Well to be honest, this is a bit different since the people get to vote. If we had 50 primaries, and Cruz won them, nobody would complain about cheating. It’s when you pick a candidate with the majority not even having the chance to vote is where questions come in.

Assuming Trump gets the nomination and Sanders doesn't, Trump will get a lot of support from non-affiliated and dems who want to destroy their party structure. This is the year of the outsider. Both political parties have led the US to ruin.

Using that logic, it's safe to assume that if Bernie gets the nomination and Trump doesn't that you will be voting for Bernie.

Thanks for helping me make my point.

I have no doubt that Trump will get some of the Bernie vote. The question is how many? By the way lose with Cruz.

Are all Bernie supporters "commies"?

Bernie is a communist. Anybody supporting a communist is a communist. I'm sorry if you're not able to comprehend this simple concept.

<-p>The beauty of being a businessman is that you really are indifferent to how you put your deal together so long as you do.

Which includes being indifferent to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and individual liberty.

Thanks for making my point, moron.

There are two irrefutable facts: 1)there is a God, 2) Trump ain't it.

If you think you're pissed off now just wait until your false god is a complete failure.

Hoo boy, you are off your rocker. You rightfully should be supporting Cruz. You're both nuts.

My mindset is drifting away from the primary elections to the general.

To me it says that Reagan captured the hearts and the minds and the imagination of the American people across the entire spectrum of our political landscape.
I get the appeal with Bernie. One thing about the bastard is he is pro America in acommie bastard sort of way. America first. America jobs.
The problem is he is actually a communist.

In many ways Reagan and Trump seem to strike the same chord although we are in a generation that’s 30 years past the Reagan generation. Trump will do good with Democrats.
.
I know so many Democrats that think Hillary is a criminal. And if they don’t get Bernie they are going to swap parties for one election and vote for Trump. And I know that many Democrat women hate Hillary personally.

Did anything in my assumption say that this is what I'd do? If the nomination is stolen from Trump, I will vote third party as an excellent way to destroy the Republican Party. But folks who aren't particularly committed will choose the outsider option in the running.

I've expressed this earlier. The Republican Party was dead to us with the primary runoff "win" being stolen for Cochran. We didn't realize the stinking corpse could not be revived and rehabilitated.
