    The only way Trump becomes President if something serious happens to Hillary Clinton before the election, but close enough to the election that the Democratic Party can't recover. Health or scandal.

    Trumps winning the nomination (barring some serious shenanigans at the Republican Convention) improves Hillary's odds much more than his own.

    Isn't the opposite of that a mysogynist?

    Don't really see the problem with what he said, in fact I applaud him for saying it.

    Not sure what you are trying to imply by posting that. Are you trying to say he is less of a man for believing in equality?? Weird because that dude would probably whop your ass lol.

    Feminism in western countries is a joke. They don't even know what they're fighting for. Trudeau is an embarrassment. Canada is not Iran.

    I agree 100% people are grossly underestimating Trump's chances to win and they are overrating Clinton's ability to win. She still hasn't finished off Bernie. Who would have bet that Trump would have sealed the deal and that Hillary would still be fighting with Bernie at this point?

    I still think Hillary takes the general election but I guess I would have to be somewhere close to 45% chance for Trump and 55% chance for Hillary. Trump is clearly a flawed candidate but Hillary has a ton of warts and she can't command an audience like Trump.

    Also, I have continually been amazed that there are Sanders supporters that are pro Trump. I've got a friend who is a cop and his first choice is Sanders and his second choice is Trump. He's a black guy too and he loves bashing Obama lol for whatever that is worth.

    The reason she have not finished of Sanders is that he does not care if he wins or not, he just want to push his message. Cruz could have stayed on to the end if he wanted to, but he knows when it is time to stop.

    Yeah but Cruz's campaign was floundering. Bernie's is still relatively strong and he is pulling off upsets. He's also still raising a lot of money too, so I don't think it's completely comparable.

    Yeah that is another point that I thought had the potential to favor Trump and the Republicans a few months ago. However, I don't know if we will get that economic downturn that I thought might happen. I think more of the sideways/blah economy is likely. The market might take a turn down but I can't see it being an extended move down past the summer, but you never know...

    She's also not really going after Bernie, because there's no real point. He's not dropping out and he's not winning. Trump is not on pace to win a majority of delegates in his race. Hillary, despite a purely proportional primary that makes it much harder to do so, actually is well above pace. If the Dem primary had the same rules as the GOP, Hillary would have walked away with this a long time ago by winning 100% of the delegates in a whole bunch of winner-take-all states.

    Bernie isn't doing anything. Hillary has long marked him irrelevant and moved on to facing Trump. He spent millions on advertising in Indiana despite the fact that he has no chance at the nomination; Hillary spent $0. She didn't even bother going there to campaign or hold rallies.

    Bernie was done on March 15. He's just drunk on the ego stroking and faithful donations from fanboys and can't let go. Hillary decided to humor him for a while after that so she wouldn't be accused of being presumptuous/disrespectful etc. But there is no reason for anybody with half a brain to pay attention to Bernie Sanders now.

    b/c money has been pouring into our equities from every direction and country, i agree about sideways or only short-term downturn action on that front. but increasing deterioration w/ respect to jobs, defaults, pensions, bonds, etc could also sway voters come fall

    Upsets?

    Sanders spent millions of dollars in Indiana to pull out a 53-47% win in a very white state favorable to him. She campaigned there but didn't spend a nickel.

    Just saying....he won't quit, but he can't win. He does have plenty of college kids voting to get that free tuition.
