That a vote is a vote.

Trump did get some votes from those that formerly voted for Obama. I'm sure his campaign team was not fretting about those votes and who cast them. If those voters were dumb enough to believe theirs and Putin's trolls, and their own fake scandals against Hilary, then its all good.

Why do Democrats care if we snare new voters to ensure a Democratic win, not only the Presidency, but probably the House again too, and maybe the Senate, because of straight line voting, even if some of them are confused ex-Trump supporters?

ie...if they dragged themselves to the voting station, and waited in line to vote for Sanders, they might as well give him enough Democrats to get done what he is promising.

There just seems to be a disconnect there.
