If Bernie gets the nomination, I will put my money on Bernie. Probably double of what I would bet on Trump. The bets I am talking about are hypothetical.

Get it?

Trump is not Romney. He has a fanatical base of support already, and once he's the Republican nominee, everyone who was previously hoping for Cruz or Rubio will take a look at their two options, and say "There's no way in hell I'm voting for Hillary Clinton," which will push Trump over the edge on election day.
Americans are not as stupid as you think.

Yes, Hillary won in Nevada. She won by 5%. In December she had an "insurmountable" 25% lead in the polls. So, how is this a Hillary surge, exactly?

Bernie's going to win those Southern states John?

He is going to win New York, Virginia and California?

I think Americans are pretty fucking stupid but let's say you're right and they're not as stupid as I think. Even so, if Americans are half as stupid as I think they are, a Trump presidency is almost a shoo-in.

Look Bernie is a great person and morally upright. But going around saying he is going to "break up Wall Street" is the same as Trump going around saying he is going to make "America great again."

There are no specifics and more importantly in Bernie's case there will be no Congressional majority to get it done. What scares the hell out of me is that Trump will have a majority.

Hillary will carry on the Obama tradition.

As far as immigration goes I would imagine that Hillary may not be able to get a reform bill passed.
But everyone knows she is not going to cancel Obama's executive actions on immigration. That is probably enough for her to win. And I will glady vote for her.

Just because I watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians does not mean I'm vapid ok?

I have read Marcel Proust too so there.

This is what I think. In the general election the Hillary trust factor will loom large especially with Trump's (& GOP) campaign tactics. All he has to do is keep repeating something like "don't believe a word of what she says, why do you think no one trusts her?" and her goose will be cooked just like Kerry and 'swift boat'. Give me break, they destroyed a real American war hero's record.

The only real asset Hillary has is her married last name, but then again may not help her with the youth. Everything else, she comes up short. Of course, this is only my opinion.
