If Bernie gets people to vote that never vote, then there’s no way Trump wins.

For those he gets out he'll alienate many others. Those making 100k & up that previously voted dem (liberal types). Even likely those making 60-70k & up. The thought of "Free healthcare, free college" and you'll be the one paying for it will turnoff voters. Trump will spin it into Mexicans crossing the border to get free college.

Either they won't vote or might even (yikes) flip & vote for GOP. Some people feel the need to 'always' vote. It would make a statement to Dems, too far. A Bernie win won't mean a Democratic uptick in votes or an onslaught.

Color me relieved.  I was starting to get panic attacks at the idea of Sanders winning in November.

How do you think it would go with Bernie tho?  Nothing he says will get passed without 60 votes. Can they do the McConnell option and pass with 51, or is that only for certain things?  Anyway even getting 61 votes on some of his ideas would be difficult. (I guess Executive Orders could be a fear)

I think it's too soon to predict anything. Warrens not dropping out, especially if Bloomberg steps away. Also Bloomberg isn't on SC I don't think, so he'l only heading for Tuesday, admittedly all or nothing. If Bloomberg does drop, Warrens going to attack Biden at the knees, singularly on Hunter Biden, which I feel hasn't been addressed enough yet. Personally, to me, Bidens too old, he's really losing his wits, takes a second to gather a thought, misspeaks, he isn't right in the head anymore, his time has passed as an executive. If Bernie wins it, I predict a 3rd party candidate, likely HRC. Anyone else would see how much Bloomberg spent losing out to the Bernie Bros, and realize its not a good spending of money. for Hillary & her backers, it might be.

Klobuchar lacks a knockout punch in debates. She grabs the reigns, then just meanders on ambiguously, the audience awaiting a reason to clap, but it never comes.

People need to stop with the "democracy is under threat" and he's a dictator. He's been a fool but no one's rights have been taken away.


Well, I'm not so sure. The whole phrase "Fake News" has gotten 50% of the public to believe Trump had no connection whatsoever to Russia during the campaign. He's had 6 or 7 campaign staff indicted over it, as well as his own lawyer in Cohen. He's likely going to pardon Stone, he fired Session & Comey and latest 2 or more DNI & Intelligence heads. There's been others, but the point is that the crimes are all around him like a moat, but he keeps firing & replacing with his own people to coverup & deflect.

Even spent his honeymoon there. Trump would love a Trump Tower Moscow.

Totally going to happen. There'll be a Trump Moscow, Ukraine, Saudi, Dubai & he'd free up North Korea & have the first & only international hotel in NK to get business travelers seeking to do work with them.

Dont you think Russians donated to Sanders campaign?

I think you can be anonymous if its under like 500 or 1000 dollars. Pretty easy for them to submit hundreds of 500 follar donations thru the web.. Personally I think its how Sanders started off with a bang in 2016 when Hillary was supposed to be pretty much uncontested. Ill concede HRCs campaign wasnt well run, in my mind partially due to Huma Aberdeen, word was they didnt want data or suggestions from Obamas camp/David Axelrod.
