http://www.salon.com/2016/04/25/bad..._of_pennsylvania_dems_to_switch_parties/Donald Trump is coaxing tens of thousands of Pennsylvania Dems to switch partiesAn unprecedented number of Pennsylvanians have switched their party affiliation from Democrat to Republican ahead of Tuesday’s primary in order to vote Trump, according to a Duluth News Tribune report.
The report said that “61,500 Democrats have become Republicans so far this year, part of a 145,000 jump in Republican registrations since the fall 2015 election.”
Many of these voters crossing party lines are working-class, middle-aged and “feel Trump is sticking it to the man.” They feel the Democratic party has prioritized the wants of more lucrative voting blocs, like youths, minorities and yuppies. For this reason, they find Trump’s political incorrectness refreshing.
“The silent majority’s been kept quiet by all the political correctness in the world,” Laurie McGinnis, a 49-year-old school bus driver, told the paper.

It's no surprise that trump draws democrats. He's been on their side all his life. When he wins over conservatives I'll be impressed. (With his acting skills)

hell I'm a Cruzer. It's not a matter of being pizzed, it's a matter of worry that Trump's Conservative epiphany won't last past the election. And worry that he'll do something dumb to lose the election. Like try to run with no ground game.
But like I said in another thread, I think he sincerely wants to see the country be safe & prosperous. As opposed to the Dems, who mostly crave power.

He's kicked ass on the conservative vote since day 1.

Trump isn't my first choice, I liked Dr. Ben, then I guess Cruz.
But, I'll vote for The Donald in a heart beat if he's the nominee.
We gotta ALL get behind the "R" choice and beat H-Dog...
Trump may do better than people think.

Sad thing is day after he gets elected and switches back to his true liberal policies, all we'll hear from the trumptards is that hillary would have been worse. There'll be no mention that there was a proven conservative option during the primaries.

I still think he's a sleeper democrat, and I'm believing it more every day. Campaign speeches mean nothing to me, He and the clintons came up with this plan in 2012, and have been setting it up ever since. I really hope I'm wrong.

Those are the choices. Choose wisely.

There are a lot of democrats that are fairly conservative but get sick and tired of the social wedge issues. I'm sick of "conservatives" railing about gays and the non-issue of transgendered folks swarming into locker rooms around the country. I'm sick of fighting settled law like RvW and I'm damn sure that if these wedge issues weren't embraced by the RNC the conservative movement would gain a lot more members. One doesn't have to hate gays in order to be conservative.

If I could get crap on the campfire for the next 8 years for thinking the second coming of Reagan was a liberal I'd love every minute of it. I'll vote for him if he's the choice. Just have zero faith that he's much more conservative than hillary.

I've never said I wouldn't vote for him. I'd just rather vote for a conservative.

If that was truly the case, the Klintons would have pulled the plug on Trump long ago. He's gone much further than anyone thought he would.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

I'll believe it when I see trump annihilate hillary in a debate. I want to see him call her out on how she accepted his bribes and what she gave him in return. Send her storming off the stage. The little tiffs between the two of them so far has been more like teenagers flirting.
