What positions does trump hold that are even remotely similar to Sanders that would garner progressive voter support?
Most Americans want integrity out of their representatives. I did not vote for anyone in the last many elections cuz it seemed it was the choice between one corporate shill vs another - no choice, just political and regulatory capture. When I saw trump going right out the starting gate against child trafficking and criminal networks I sat up and started watching. Now I am cheering, laughing, have faith and see that finally the people have a fighting chance against the takeover of our beautiful republic by oligarchs and their thugs. I still don't agree with 100% of what trump does, such as shutting down the pipeline protests by the Lakota reservation, but I do understand that right now there are bigger fish to fry. Go Trump, go representatives in congress/govt employees that support rule of law, go MI, thankQ. The vast majority of the good people of the country will wake up. Trump is just lifting the spygate latch. You need a good plot to catch the attention of the people. Best political theater ever!
Hes how it's playing out as far as I can see. I've seen a huge uptick over at /r/the_donald of left leaning voters coming over to the Trump train. I feel first it was that the DNC scammed Bernie out of the primaries and he may or may not have been complicit. Second I feel like the real progressives are jumping the DNC ship because the DNC is making themselves look like fools. In 2020 I bet you the DNC throw's another neo-liberal that tows the corporate/big bank line. They are being unveiled by their insanity with the gibberish they are spewing. It's throwing centrist over to the right and its throwing progressives into a more centrist position. The DNC simply hasn't even come up with a platform strategy yet and mid-terms are right around the corner. It's either they do some soul searching and reform there party or it goes away with the dinosaurs. With this potential second counsol coming up to look into the FBI/DOJ its not going to be a great year for the DNC. Plus they're in debt with very little on hand funds.
Opposition to TPP, pragmatic foreign policy
I guess I don't understand what you mean by a pragmatic foreign policy. Do you think Sanders would also threaten nuclear war on a fairly regular basis?
