    I propose this thought: If Donald Trump can become the Republican choice for presidential candidate, then Bernie Sanders can become president via the Green Party. OK, sure the odds are slim but if someone told you a few years ago that Trump would be the GOP candidate we all would have laughed. The world is off its rocker anyway so what they hay, if we've all gone nuts, think good crazy thought and who knows what might transpire! :smiley:

    Are you playing both sides of the fence?

    Yes, but who would be the VP that Trump is running with?

    Uh. No one knows. What that a rhetorical question?
    Last week, when I heard Trump praising Newt Gingrich in a campaign appearance, all of a sudden I got this, "oh shit, he's going to run with Newt, then quit if he wins and Newt will be the president" feeling. It gave me the chills. Later that night, I shared my premonition with my friend at dinner, and now I come here and this is he conversation -- Trump winning and quitting. Oh my. Please let's hope not.

    It is entirely plausible that Trump is running with Hillary.

    Not at all! I walk along the top of the fence for a better view. Bernie joining the Green Party makes good sense at this point in time. I hope it happens.

    Why Sanders’ endorsement probably won’t help Hillary Clinton with millennials

    http://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/08/why-sanders-endorsement-probably-wont-help-hillary-clinton-with-millennials-commentary.html

    Couched within this quote from the article is a frightening thought:

    "For low-information voters who've not been glued to politics for a year like myself and many of you, who's just tuning in a few months before Election Day—who's going to sound more appealing?"

    The idea being that low information voter could have a lot of influence in the outcome. Hmmm, I think that would prove my point that if Trump is elected, America gets what it deserves.

    I'm still not convinced that as a whole we that THAT friggin' stupid!

    There are so many TV ads lined up, ready to run, there won't be anyone left without some opinion of Donald Trump... if that even exists today.

    Maybe. Although I think the average American hit's the mute button and runs for the cheese doodles during the break from their mindless TV shows. (No one here of course!!)

    I don't agree that the mindless TV people will just mute and eat cheezy-poofs. Are you kidding? Trump's antics are exactly what those people live for! It's the ultimate reality TV show, featuring everyone's favorite reality TV celebrity. The uninformed voters are exactly who will eat this shit up and Trump knows it. That is why he is 100% playing to the lowest common denominator. He has a rapt audience in these people. And they love to vote for their favorite reality TV stars. You should see all the votes that they send into American Idol.

    Yes... as long as the left doesn't split too much.

    Yes... as long as the left doesn't split too much.
    It's scary, the left is eager for revolution (in a totally pie-eyed an naive way IMO) and it is setting the stage for Trump to come way too close.
    People are "not worried about Trump" as though the Bush years never happened.

    I hope you are right, but I'm not sitting back and leaving the dirty work for someone else to do, I am wading into the mire and voting for Clinton. You can thank me in November for saving your ass and doing your dirty work for you lol
