    No, I do not believe that Sanders has any realistic chance to win in the general election. Not even if everyone here in this forum who hates Trump, votes for Sanders.

    When Trump was bragging about banning an entire religious group from migrating to the country in a rally event, I also thought that Trump had no chance of becoming President of the United States. 6 years ago you thought it would be laughable if Trump become president of the United States.

    I do hope the GOP electorate is also this confident of the lack of Bernie's chances on election day.

    You’re clearly delusional if you think in the hyper-partisan times we live and with an extremely divisive president, that any opponent put forward wouldn’t stand a chance. He lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton. By the way, people who are politically savvy know that this strategy is something that dumba$$ Rush Limbaugh cooked up (Operation Chaos).

    I pride myself on being reasonable. I have great respect for professionalism and the long-standing customs that come with the role of the presidency. I can tell you with the utmost sincerity that I would vote for Lindsay Lohan if she was the democratic nominee. I’ve typically been someone who can recognize reasonable candidates. We have a republican governor here in Arkansas who does a fine job imo. But yeah I’m not trolling when I say I have more faith in President Lohan than Trump. That should worry you.

    Dude just stop with the victimhood.

    I have used your ilk maybe twice and I brought up the garm once.

    I don't have to resort to anything and you are the king of changing the subject when you are pressed.

    If you have such an issue with me and how I post stop replying.

    Donald Trump would be like my 200 millionth choice for President of the United States out of eligible Americans.

    Hillary was like my 50 thousandth choice out of eligible Americans.

    I don't know how true that is on a broad basis .... Many Trump supporters hide in the shadows because they don't want to deal with the never trump people antagonizing them.

    As for your overall point , I agree completely - This might be suicide on the part of Republicans voting for this guy in the primary with the potential of him winning the general - He is an economic conservatives worst nightmare.

    In my experience Trump voters in Massachusetts are very proud to display their support.

    There is this certain attention w**** element to Trump supporters.

    There is a group who's openly supportive of Trump .... but there are those who just don't want to deal with the conflict.

    Honestly if Trump weren't so damn abrasive & childish .... this election wouldn't even be close with the economy as it is but he just can't stay out of his own way , he's literally his own worst enemy.

    Not only is Bernie the DNC's worst nightmare he is America's worst nightmare. That is the main reason conservatives want him on the ballot come November. It is time to send so called "Democratic Socialism" back into the shadows for another decades or two. What he pushes is dangerous.

    He is pushing for an economy where growth is based in increases in disposable income of the average American rather than increases in consumer debt fueled by making it easier to borrow money which is the reason why we go through these boom and bust cycles. Americans rack of debt during the booms where subprime loans are handed out like candy and then they default and then it crashes. And that cycle will always continue in our status quo system.

    That status quo system only benefits the owners of significant capital as they still increase wealth even during recesions while consumers are paying off debts during recesions and struggling to find jobs and healthcare.

    And you refuse to have any meaningful discussion. Why do you post in a debate and discussion forum anyways?

    Pete just said he won't take lessons in values and relationships from Trump because his marriage doesn't involve him sending hush money to a p*rn star after cheating on his spouse.


    Oh snapppp.


    +100 respect Pete.

    You know life does actually exist outside this forum. I do not really care to debate with you because you take it way too serious and appear to have a lot more time to devote to it than I do. So congrats you win this one. Have a good evening, I am done for the day.

    You don't have to debate me. You just don't have to respond to me instead of wasting your time trolling.

    Bernie is America’s worst nightmare...and that’s the reason you want him on the ballot in November. Even with the explanation you give afterwards, you have to see how puzzling that sounds. I’m trying to look at this entirely objectively, from a gambler’s perspective if you will. I think you’re severely underestimating the odds of trump losing. If Bernie somehow won would you not regret it in comparison to nominating someone like Biden or Klobuchar?

    You are a sincere poster and he's not. That's why you think his logic is unsound because it is but it's coming from someone who just wants to trigger people.

    You're talking about cheating the voting game and it's sad to see.
