From libertarian Michael A. LaFerrara at Principled Perspectives:
A day after New Jersey Star-Ledger columnist Mark Di Ionno reported how Donald Trump’s and Bernie Sanders’ support springs from the same cultural roots (Sanders success sign of middle class revolt—see my last post), the Star-Ledger argued, after Sanders’ nomination chances died, that Trump cannot satisfy Sanders voters’ need for change. In urging Sanders supporters not to switch to Trump, the Star-Ledger writes that Donald Trump:
wants to expand his base by adding millions of voters who believe in using government to solve real problems that affect us all.
And that has been at the heart of Bernie Sanders’ appeal throughout the campaign. For nearly a year, he has built a movement based on bringing as many people as possible into the circle of opportunity, and only a strong, progressive government does that.
