I wonder if any Democratic candidate will receive a bump ...

[1StrongBlackMan]

as Rand Paul exits the republican primary race?

1. Interesting question.

Hmmmm.

[morningfog]

2. No.

[restorefreedom]

3. there was a discussion of that earlier

don't remember which thread. although with paul and om both having left it mighht be hard to tell. om supporters very likely to go to a dem, but with paul supporters, it could go either way. i think they will split between trump, sanders, alternate party, and "other" republican, not necessarily in that order.

but there is no doubt bernie will have crossover appeal to disenfranchised nonestablishment loving repubs/right indys

4. Who knows?

5. Except Poster #3's comment suggests it IS a substantive question ...

Wow ... some folks really should get some sleep, throw back a shot or six, hit a joint, or do whatever they do to turn off their defensiveness. It's beginning to rise to clinical levels.

7. You're right

too defensive. I tamed it.

6. Maybe like 1% weed voters? Also maybe some people against the NSA mass surveillance ?

Patriot Act, etc.

It's possible like 1%. Not a major impact.

I think it would mostly flow to Ted Cruz.

8. I've already heard from Rand supporters, they will support Bernie Sanders

[ViseGrip]

9. PS....not all of them of course...but Bernie is going to get a few.

And you MUST have crossovers to win a general election. More proof Bernie can take on the republicans!

[Renew Deal]

10. I think Sanders and Trump

Maybe Cruz, but I doubt it.
