Will American Voters Vote For A Socialist Candidate?

The Washington Post reports:

While the word "socialist" carries with it negative connotations for many Americans, that's not the case for a majority of Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters. While the Gallup poll he cited shows 59 percent of Democratic voters would be okay with voting for a socialist, another recent poll showed that 52 percent of Democrats have a favorable view of socialism.

The Democrat party is no longer the party of Andrew Jackson and Grover Cleveland but the party of socialism.
