That's how afraid you've become of the Bernie Sanders phenomenon. It's pretty funny, actually, as you wrote him off long ago.

I hope Bernie gets the nomination. He has no chance of winning. He has no chance of beating Hillary. Hillary has the black vote sewed up.
Just thought I'd point that out.

Among other things, another reason why I'm voting for Sanders.

Despite media consensus, Bernie Sanders is raising more money, from more people, than any candidate, ever

Tibs, despite our differences, we're voting for the same reasons.

You're just voting for the wrong guy. You are voting for the messenger over the message. I'm voting for the message over the messenger.

There is no doubt Sanders is a "better person" than Trump. I won't argue that. But Trump's policies are so much better for this country than Sanders. And you know that Trump isn't an extremist like Sanders. You know it Tibs. You just can't get past his vulgarities. You would rather have a "good guy" with extremist political spectrum than a "bad guy" with independent, centrist ideals.

That's what I don't get about the liberals hatred of Trump. He's the most centrist republican candidate to come along in AGES. And while you just go along for the ride with Sanders as your party becomes as far-left as Cruz is far-right, you are losing yourself and what you believe in.

Tibs, you don't believe in socialism. You don't believe in 30% bigger federal government. You know it. You're just voting for a guy that you think is the "nicest" of the bunch. That's not a way to vote.

Vote for a winner

Trump Near-Certain to Defeat Democrat in November

With Donald Trump as the nominee, Republicans are highly certain to win the presidential election on November 8, 2016.

Trump will defeat Hillary Clinton with 87% certainty, and Bernie Sanders with 99%.

These forecasts come from the PRIMARY MODEL. It is a statistical model that relies on presidential primaries and an election cycle as predictors of the vote in the general election.

Early primaries are a leading indicator of electoral victory in November. Trump won the Republican primaries in both New Hampshire and the South Carolina while Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders split the Democratic primaries in those states.

What favors the GOP in 2016 as well, no matter if Trump is the nominee or any other Republican, is a cycle of presidential elections. After two terms of Democrat Barack Obama in the White House the electoral pendulum is poised to swing to the GOP this year. This cycle, which is illustrated with elections since 1960, goes back a long way to 1828.

The model says so, it must be true. It's MATH SCIENCE.

The race is over

Bernie is finished

Even if Trump wins enough delegates to avoid a brokered convention, I don't think the RNC can "heal" this and back Trump. It's just too hypocritical at this point.

What is really scary to think about is the Republican Elite Class was so afraid of Trump that I think they sacrificed the 2016 Presidential Election and significantly threatened they Senate majority.

It just goes to show (and what I've said before), both political parties are more interested in status quo than actually winning and doing good things for the American people. Both parties have accepted wins/losses and control/uncontrol of the President and Congress as normal business and both continue to rub each others backs knowing it will swing the other way. Just as long as the money keeps rolling in for both sides.

They would rather sacrifice any political agenda or decision so long as the money and control keep in place for the next election cycle.

Money has corrupted both parties and the system. Trump's message of make America great again, has to do with the citizens, not the fat cats gobbling up money and never getting yelled at for doing a poor job in office by their peers.

I completely agree Trump is a threat to the way politics work, and since voters on both parties admit this to use a Trump word a HUGE problem, they should vote for him. Trump can't say this, but voters should be smart enough to notice it.

If the Republicans has a brokered convention, they will forfeit the election...cutting off their nose to spite their face. It won't happen.

The republican establishment has long been in bed with the Clintons. That predates Bill's presidency. If you think for one second that they wont undercut Trump, even with the knowledge they are handing the country to Hillary, in a heartbeat, well then you are awfully naive. She will play the game... they wont have the upper hand and get as much of the kickbacks as if they had the control, but they will get enough to be happy.... Trump or Bernie would try to blow up the system, and may leak secrets they dont want out... neither can be allowed to win.

If a person like Trump or Sanders doesn't win, this system will become as rotten as Rome's in our lifetime. I pretty much agree Hillary's part Republican these days when it comes to the economy. The trouble is she's a liar and redefines dirty politics.

Lade MacBeth in the flesh if you will her ambition is obvious, but her agenda is not. She's dupping many Democrats.

March 15th is next Tuesday.

Trump is up double digits in Florida and Illinois, and slightly in the lead in Ohio. All three of these states are key for the general election and whoever brings out the vote here should be the Republican nominee.

Other states such as North Carolina and Missouri are also areas where Trump has a sizeable lead

There is a chance Trump will win all five states, but even if he only wins four, it's still a knockout. Expect major sucking up from just about all Republicans post March 15th for Trump. The race will essentially be over. Rubio, who has already damaged a very promising career should drop out.
