… While Trump is once again expected to attract some Americans who voted for Sanders in the primary and then helped him win crucial battleground states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in 2016, polls, analysts and interviews with nearly a dozen Sanders voters suggest he won’t be as successful this time when he faces presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. …
Several Sanders voters who spoke to USA TODAY said they view Biden much as they viewed Clinton: an establishment candidate backed by the very corporate interests they see as obstacles to progress.
“We need good health care. We need good education. He’s not going to make that possible,” said Alana Jones, 30, a freelance writer from Marshall, Missouri. “He’s not got an honest bone in his body.”
And yet, Jones said, she’ll hold her nose and vote for the former vice president just as she did for Clinton because “obviously, Trump is so much worse.” CONT.
