Well yeah I didn’t mean to suggest anyone should back him as a presidential candidate. The ironic thing is the democrats would probably win more votes from Trump’s base by having a more progressive candidate, because the left / right spectrum isn’t everything. I’m sure many Trump voters were people who knew they were getting screwed over by the billionaire class and corrupt politicians, wanted change, and were dumb enough to think Trump would fix things. They could be won over by a progressive candidate, but I agree a right-leaning democrat is precisely the thing they will never vote for.
