It hadn’t even occurred to us that there were Republicans for Bernie Sanders, but they have the T-shirts to prove it, in public no less. Tal Kopan of CNN managed to photograph one of these rare creatures in the wilds of Mackinac Island, Mich.

He had apparently migrated there for the Republican Leadership Conference Saturday, as had a number of GOP presidential hopefuls. Among them was Jeb Bush, who spotted a flock of Sanders supporters and posed for a group photo.
@LilMissRightie They’ve got to be plants. There is no way someone who is an actual Republican could support Sanders.

@redsteeze Will take your advice into counsel and make sure he refuses any ironic picture requests in the future.

@Timodc There's a big difference between laughing at and laughing with. If you're laughing with, then I'm not the problem.

@redsteeze @Timodc This might be the dumbest thing to possibly get mad at. Relax, Stephen.

He has a point. Republicans for Republicans aren’t exactly pinning their hopes on Bush to win back the White House anyway.
