He can pull from either traditional Democratic voters at lower income levels or non-voters. I think the Democrats are a little myopic to be pulling for him because he'll be an easy general election win. I think Cruz, despite beating HRC in a theoretical race, is the easier win as he brings very little to the table in the purple states, outside of maybe Missouri.

I am in Europe and was talking about the election with some folks in a meeting today. Reminded me that I was the best freaking pundit ever in March 2016.
