What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Jacob]

I was talking about the Democrat best positioned at the moment to capture the "resistance" movement identified in the last episode of "The Circus".  Whether or not the American public will ever elect a female President in the future is hard to know and may well be moot given how things are going now.

Ah I see. Yeah. The question is whether that's the right direction for the Democrats or not.

Just to be clear I would vote for just about any current American politician if Trump was running against them. Even Cruz, though I would go take a shower afterwards.

Having a female president is inevitable.

The only candidate I saw the DNC opposing was a dangerous far left socialist demagogue. I am sure the DNC would have been overjoyed had O'Malley or Biden or whomever had won the nomination. But it is not like the Dems have a deep bench right now. Pelosi is still Speaker for godsake.

Sanders is not any further left economically than LBJ, Truman or FDR and they were some of the greatest Presidents in history.  Jeremy Corbyn he's not.

I think you are going to lose that argument.  Anyone in the US who advocates for a single payor health care model is by definition a dangerous far left socialist.

Truman and Johnson were definitely for that. Same for TR in his 1912 progressive platform

I have been watching "The Circus" on Showtime.  In the last episode they were pretty much making your point by highlighting the "resistance" movement in the US and how difficult it has been for mainstream democrats to appeal to that movement.

I don't know... maybe if they run a white guy?

Not sure a white guy other than Bernie is going to do that.  Warren seems the best bet.  Fienstein was getting jeered and booed at her town hall  meeting for being too mainstream.

Sherrod Brown?

Sherrod Brown?

She may have won if he were her running mate.

Can we stop with the claim that somehow Bernie's plan starts and stops with single payer healthcare?

50% upper tax rate and breaking up big banks is hardly to the left of the presidents I mentioned above.

And his DoJ confirms open season on anyone the fucking pigs want to shoot.  Especially if they are of the brown persuasion.

Considering there was no income tax at all during TR's political career color me suspicious.

Look most of our budget is already tied up in entitlements and the military starving the government of funds for many important vital functions. Sanders wants to start paying for College Education and God knows what else. His protectionist and draconian economic controls are another thing.
