The “Sanders supporters better not vote for Trump” scare/smear tactic has been very common around here. But have no fear, it’s baseless scare mongering and smear:
In an NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey conducted by Hart Research Associates this month, 7% of Sanders voters said they could see themselves supporting Trump. Some 66% said the same for Clinton.
A similar proportion of Sanders folk – 8% – gave Trump a positive likeability rating, compared with 48% for Clinton. That figure is unlikely to be causing Clinton campaign aides much loss of sleep.
“The data does not indicate any meaningful concern for Clinton that if she wins the Democratic nomination large numbers of Sanders voters would head to Trump,” said Jeff Horwitt, a senior vice-president with Hart Research.
The article starts off concern trolling about Sanders supporters voting for Trump. In the middle of the article, it sabotages it’s own concern trolling then moves on to rest of the article concern trolling until the very end. I thought the Guardian was better than that.
