Financial Times: Bernie Sanders moves from fringe to zeitgeist
snip
In Mason City, Linda Ward and her husband Bill, both Republicans, said they had been impressed by Mr Sanders and his ideas. In Minneapolis, Nicole Reid, a 41 year-old business developer, said she was starting to have success convincing conservative friends to vote for Mr Sanders instead of Mr Trump with the argument that both men represented similar movements with the bonus that Mr Sanders “has experience?.?.?.?and is not insane”.
“I think there’s a lot to be angry about in both parties because both parties are subservient to their lobbyists,” said Tad Wolff, a San Diego small business owner who said he would be supporting Mr Sanders despite being a fiscal conservative. “The people aren’t getting what they want.”
