Who would you vote if the 2016 election is Trump vs. Sanders

[Valmy]

That quiz told me Rand Paul and
Bernie Sanders are the two guys whose views are closest to mine.

[Grey Fox]

Would you vote for Sanders if the Republican nominee were Mao Tse Tung?

Or Che?

Mao, still voting Sanders.

Che then put me down for a straight republican ticket.

It's happening

I am the person who wrote that piece dismissing The Donald as even a semi-serious candidate for the presidency. My reasoning was pretty straightforward: Trump was regarded incredibly negatively by Republican voters. Twenty-three percent of GOP voters had a favorable opinion of Trump in a May Washington Post-ABC News poll, while 65 percent viewed him negatively. Eleven percent of Republicans felt strongly favorably toward Trump; 43 percent felt strongly negatively.

And then, opinions about Trump among Republicans totally flipped.

That same Post-ABC poll that showed Trump at 23/65 in his favorable/unfavorable ratings among Republicans in May suddenly revealed an absolutely unprecedented change in Trump's favor in July. In that latter (and later) poll, 57 percent of Republicans viewed Trump favorably, while 40 percent regarded him unfavorably.

That same sort of change was happening in other polls too. In June, a Fox News poll showed that almost six in 10 Republicans (59 percent) would never vote for Trump under any circumstances. In a Fox News survey released Monday night, that number was down to 33 percent. It's not great that one in three Republicans say they would never vote for you. But, it's a whole hell of a lot better than if 60 percent said it.

Why did I miss Trump's appeal so badly? Simply put: I had NEVER EVER seen a reversal in how people perceive a candidate who is as well known as Trump -- much less a reversal in such a short period of time. I based my conclusion that Trump would never be a relevant player in the Republican primary fight on the ideas that once people 1) know you and 2) don't like you, you can't change those twin realities much.

That was 100 percent true. Until Donald Trump proved it (and me) wrong.

Point taken. Never say "never" in politics. Thanks for reminding me of that old adage, Donald.

Yi, what will you offer me to cancel the bet?

[DontSayBanana]

I figure anyone who watched he Star Wars Holiday Special would probably vote Wormtongue.

Nah, I'd write in Harvey Korman, and then hire myself as campaign manager-

"We'll whip this country into shape!

Stir, whip, stir, whip, whip, whip, stir!"

[The Minsky Moment]

Chewie Duh.

Yeah that seems really easy.  Much shorter state of the union addresses too

[Caliga]

Hopefully the speeches would be capped with random people getting their arms ripped off too.

Wookie-led presidential administrations are notable for the lack of veto over-ride votes.

Americans here are 12 to 5 in favor of Sanders, that's about 71.6% to 29.4%.

[Eddie Teach]

Well, like Siege says, the forum is full of liverals.

Times are changing.

Might as well be "Who would you vote if the 2016 election is Chewbacca vs. Grima Wormtongue"

But really, what does Grima Wormtongue's base look like?

I waz in his base, killin his d00dz.  It was nothing special.

[Tonitrus]

President Trump will result in far more hilarity and entertainment than President Sanders.

Unless he starts a nuclear war or something.
