    I had no problems voting for Trump (I was a Bernie guy) until he attacked an American and used his heritage as a reason he was unfit to do his job.

    I can't believe the asshat Bernie supporters who could turn a blind eye to that now and would actually think of voting for him.

    Attack illegals all you want but an American is an American no matter where his parents came from.

    3rd party candidate.
    History, his previous actions, and the backlash he has faced for many of his positions disagree with you. Like I said, I am not a bernie supporter nor do I support what he is doing but you are talking on an extreme end.

    I don't think any Bernie supporters are voting for Trump.

    Some may vote 3rd party however.

    Like I said, if they feel this country should have a president Trump, they are free to vote for him or third party, same difference.

    I'm guessing you didnt do a lot of research on Trump's platform this Spring.

    ya i think a lot of them might just abstain from voting altogether, too, which could also be a problem for clinton. he has a lot of fickle young supporters, who don't necessarily identify with the party

    My apologies - a glimpse at your posting history revealed that I had mistaken you for the wrong flavor of conspiracy crank, a right wing one rather than a left wing one.

    I did and calling illegals names doesn't mean anything to me. Hell calling Americans names is nothing too but accusing a minority of not being able to do his job because of his ethnicity is not in the same ball park. Gov Christie called out people for accusing a Muslim he picked to work with him because they said he would bring sharia law. Now he says that the statement Trump said wasn't racist. Give me a break.

    i am neither right wing nor left wing, sammie. i consider both sides essentially the same -- controlled opposition of each other. at the end of the season, both herds of sheep are corralled into the same slaughterhouse anyways :)

    Polling indicates that Barack Obama has ~85% approval rating among Sanders supporters. Combine this with his +50% general approval rating and clear favoritism of Clinton and, suddenly, there's a very effective surrogate at reigning Sanders supporters into the Clinton fold.

    And only people like you have been trusted with ultimate truth, that global warming is a massive worldwide scam, that the dollar is going to collapse any day....blah blah blah.

    Again, duly noted to subscribe to your newsletter.

    i would like to see that poll b/c i really doubt 85% of sanders supporters are happy w/ the current state of affairs in general. these people seem to be railing against the establishment for the most part, right?

    i said the dollar is going to collapse any day, sammie? simply not true. the dollar is KING for the moment. too much capital flow from asia/europe for it to go down anytime soon..

    Calling people names isn't a platform.

    I'm talking legitimate policy decisions.

    If you are the liberal that you present yourself to be on this BBS, then his platform would have made you want to shove an icepick into your eye socket before voting for him.

    I heard that on the latest episode of the Keeping it 1600 podcast from The Ringer.

    They may be railing against the establishment, for the most part, but I wouldn't doubt that they personally like President Obama.

    Easier to lead a sheep into a voting booth than a frothing dog.

    thanks. i won't be able to listen to the hour long podcast, so will just take your word for it. still strikes me as odd though, for instance i thought these kids also associated obama with stuff like the OWS beatdowns

    No, you didn't say " any day" - you said in 5 years, back in 2008, when it would be phased out in favor of the yuan or gold.

    Who won that argument about decoupling, btw, you or me?
