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

[Razgovory]

Bleh.  I spent the last eight years telling people that the Democratic party isn't a socialist party and then this bastard is going to fuck it all up.   More realistically, he doesn't have a party.  What kind of allies can he be expected to have in Congress?

I would assume the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

If Democratic primary voters choose him, I'm sure Congressional democrats will fall in line.

Wait is Krauthammer considered the voice of reason and respectability in the Republican Party? Oh dear.

He went a little bonkers during GW2.

Well, many people were upset about certain conditions not stacking, so...

[I can't help but think that a lot of the press and at least some of his followers just have a morbid curiosity in seeing how far this will go and how bad the crash will be.  Prediction:  There will be a bimbo on the side and some financial irregularities which will be revealed that will result in him going completely bonkers on the air.

His entire public persona is built on the aquisiton of bimbos.  His comment about Princess Diana's death was "I wish I had dated her."   He's on record as saying he would bang his daughter if she weren't his daughter.

I similarly doubt that we're going to discover that he hasn't been paying his taxes for the last 5 years.

He'll fail because his negatives are too high.

My thought was "how many more financial irregularities does Trump need to have"?

How many businesses have gone bankrupt?  And while Trump liked to spin that as "reorganization", a bankruptcy means that creditors don't get paid.  Trump's hasn't paid an awful lot of creditors out there.

If he is so creative with "reorganisations", he could save the US. All he needs to do is admit Puerto Rico as a state and then spin off everything but Puerto Rico into a separate corporate entity, leaving Puerto Rico with the entire Chinese debt.

A tweet from Bill Maher:

OMG Trump and Palin are a team now! As foretold in ‪#‎Revelations‬

So is Trump the Beast 666 and Palin the Whore of Babylon, or vice versa?

[Admiral Yi]

Bill Maher is the antichrist of funny.

[Martinus]

Bill Maher is the antichrist of funny.

Does it mean he is unfunny or that he is devilishly funny? 

[Admiral Yi]

OK, I mean humor anti-matter.  If he and humor were ever to exist in the same space existence would cease.

[celedhring]

OK, I mean humor anti-matter.  If he and humor were ever to exist in the same space existence would cease.

So he's so funny that the universe couldn't cope with it?

So...you were wrong?

Anyway, Bernie is only a Democrat because it's convenient to run for President that way. Same with Trump and the GOP.

According to the latest Iowa poll, the top 3 are Trump, Carson, and Fiorina.  It's not until fourth place that you get, oh crap, Cruz.  Oy vey.

Fiorina doesn't seem to be crazy. Just a failed CEO with no compelling case to be president.

This is what happens when your establishment candidates are:

Bush--no one wants another Bush, at times it seems including the candidate
Walker--seems to have been infected with the crazy virus recently, which is in heavy circulation during republican primaries
Rubio--he may be a guy to watch longer term, but what a time to be hispanic after Trump outs them as rapists.
Perry--I had some reason why he isn't a strong candidate, but I can't think of it. Oops.

Bush	Do we really want 41,43, and 45 to all be Bushes?
Walker	It's not new- it's just finally getting national attention that if you say "public sector union" in the mirror 3 times, Walker will magically appear, frothing at the mouth.  Even the Koch brothers know better than to blatantly go after unions in a national election cycle.
Rubio	There's nothing establishment about Rubio.  He rode the Tea Party wave, just like Cruz.  He's slightly less mouth-frothy, but not once you bring up Cuba.
Perry	Having criminal charges for abuse of office pending tends to put a damper on a presidential campaign.

Perry Having criminal charges for abuse of office pending tends to put a damper on a presidential campaign.

I was under the impression that whatever else you might say about Rick Perry, those charges were generally seen as BS and lacking in legal merit.  I note in googling that one has already been thrown out, and the other is generally seen as weak.

[Valmy]

One shouldn't judge Perry too much on those charges when there is so much else to judge him on. Anyway he is a non-entity.

Bush -Do we really want 41,43, and 45 to all be Bushes?

This seems like a ridiculous statement unless included alongside is a statement that one thinks latest Bush (by more than virtue of just their name) will be 'terrible' like 'one' assumes of the previous ones / or (and probably just would be ridiculous) some concern that we are headed down a dynastical route.
