    Bernie vs. Trump would be a different story. I just can't see a majority of Americans voting for an open Socialist. The Bern has fizzled though. He's done.

    Edit: I recently heard an interview that Rosen had a few weeks ago with Philip Klein, the Managing Editor of the Washington Examiner (solid right publication). He predicted a possible 50 state win for Clinton if it's her vs. Trump.

    I learned my lesson after 2012 though and don't have much faith in these "expert analysts" anymore, but jeeeez. If that happened, a 50 state win, we are officially done as a great country and become a country of great sloths.
    Hillary won't carry 50 states, not even against Trump. Especially since if Hillary gets the nomination, I suspect Bernie will run as an independent and split the Dem vote.

    There is a lot of the press world that still doesn't understand why Trump is so popular. They are all hooked on this idea that he is only popular with "authoritarians", which there may be some truth to, but that's not the whole story. The American populace is fed up with the usual politicians whether R, D, L, or otherwise. That is why Trump is so popular. The public sees him as an alternative to the usual 2 party system of shitty candidates, and they want something different.

    If Hillary wins against Trump it'll be a squeaker. Down to the wire ... shades of 2000 with recounts and lawsuits and protests (probably more violence though).

    ...if Hillary gets the nomination, I suspect Bernie will run as an independent and split the Dem vote.
    From your lips to God's ear brother.


    As for Trump vs Bernie, I think Bernie beats Trump more handily than Hillary would. Low information people like Bearnie because they think he's honest.

    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    I'm not with you here- The press is promoting Trump, because he's entertaining- Media is nothing more than infotainment, with some leftist indoctrination thrown in... they want, no NEED a candidate that will keep their ratings up- someone that will stir up shit and make people watch their channel to find out what THAT asshole did!

    The media doesn't care about the country, they don't care about the people in it- they just want ratings because that makes them money... they won't help promote a boring candidate who's good for the country, because good stability is bad for their ratings.
