‘Operation Chaos’ GOP group makes its choice for SC Democratic primary
The State ^

Posted on 02/26/2020 6:49:17 PM PST by springwater13

More Republican groups hoping to meddle in the state’s Democratic presidential primary on Saturday have decided who will get their vote.

The Greenville Tea Party has chosen to support for Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, as he has risen in the polls and has won the popular vote in the Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada contests.

Former Vice President Joe Biden has consistently led in the South Carolina polls, but the lead over Sanders has shrunk in recent weeks.

Stephen Brown, the former chairman of the Greenville Tea Party, said a few thousand votes may tip the scales of Saturday’s primary in Sanders’ direction.

“He’s doing well in the polls,” Brown said.

A Sanders nomination would provide a clear contrast with President Donald Trump in November, supporters of the so-called “Operation Chaos” movement say.

Interesting choice. I am going to vote in the VA primary next Tuesday and have wavered between Bernie and Biden. You make a good point...I love voting in Dem primaries. On the other hand, I voted for Obama in the 2008 primary, thinking he would be easier to beat than the Beast.

Agree with lowest polling candidate. Keep egos up and no first ballot Victor. May be better to go with lowest polling that is anticipated to have at least enough to garner delegates. Need a delegate or no chaos at convention.

The true “Operation Chaos” as designed by Rush, was a vote for Hillary.

I second your motion of wanting to embarrass your home state senator. Can you please explain the appeal of Klobitchar to Minnesotans to someone like me from the east coast?

I think she comes across as somewhat ditzy and not very articulate. That could be just me, though.

I should caution any Republican who votes in a Democratic primary: that act will exclude you from participating in GOP nomination processes, as you will have already participated in another party's process.

We do not want some event out of our control to have a chance of getting Sanders in office.

Daniel 2:20-22

“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to Him. 

He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes them. 

He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. 

He reveals the deep and hidden things; He knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with Him.

So?

It's apparent that Trump has a lock on it anyway!

In 2008 , we were dealt a bad hand with McCain. I can’t decide who would have been best. Obama.. bad. Hillary too. McCain.. don’t want him holding the briefcase either.

Why we did Operation chaos without even doing operation chaos. Simply because the left is so deranged that they refuse to believe their own candidates a horrible for them.

Bernie has all the momentum in the world and looks inevitable as the nominee.

If they really wanted to sow chaos, they’d choose Buttigieg or Steyer.

Trump will get max possible EV’s versus Bernie than any other candidate. Likewise for senate and House seats. Chaos and a brokered convention may actually be more likely than a Bernie Win , but if Bernie’s base has less turnout in Nov, that’s still a good thing..Brokered however is still less desirable (tho maybe more entertaining) than an outright Sanders win.... Avoid candidates near the 15% threshhold. As long as bernie is at 1-2 , zeroing out the zero’s is good and will boost his delegate count. The tea party groups got it right.. Feel the Bern!

All of the current Democrat candidates are so deeply flawed and carry so much baggage, that I believe the DNC is hoping for a brokered convention in order to bring in a new face, with less time to truly vet them.

it means you can’t participate in selecting GOP congressional candidates either, or local candidates

President ain’t the only thing on the ballot!

Yup, they are all interchangeable communists.

And the convention needs to be contested with Bernie Sanders in the lead but unable to put together a majority by adding a vice president.

I would like to think the GOP’s time would be better spent trying to keep the stock markets and economy from crashing due to the Coronavirus concerns (real and manufactured) than f*cking around with the DEM primaries. But what the hell do I know!
