With the Democratic party and their superdelegates, anything is possible. A stupid system in my opinion.

SHillary is going to be nuked by Trump on day one after the Democratic Convention.
The audio of SHillary actually laughing about her legal skills getting a rapist just 2months after raping a 12 year old girl ... is not survivable politically. Trump just needs to run that single ad until November. Whatever is left of SHillary voters by then is going to be laughable.

I'd dare the media to ask him about it too. You'd get something like this "I wouldn't say that she supports child rape, just that she has, in the past, volunteered to get child rapists off their charges on technicalities, and celebrated doing so."
They'd respond with the fact it was just one, and then he has them.

This student loan debt isn't going to forgive itself.

Too many powers are vested in her. If it goes to contested convetion-it's possible. Otherwise I think he would have to switch to I and see if he can pull disgruntled members from both sides.

He's said since the beginning it was going all the way to the convention, and it is.

I'm a bit cynical I suppose. I am expecting the DNC to try and fuck him without lube.

No way. Bernie is actually an independent who caucuses with Senate Democrats, but not a true Democrat. So the Democrats are faced with the same problem the Republicans are. That is, a party outsider the voters like better than the party's pick. But Trump is a true outsider whereas Bernie is only kinda sorta, since he's been in Washington for a long time. Trump would beat Bernie hands down.

Bernie would lose all 50 states against Jeb!, let alone Trump. He would be the weakest major-party nominee in history. The combination of actually being attacked for the first time in his career and having to back his way into the nomination with convention shenanigans would destroy his campaign before it even started.

What drugs do you take that put you in that fantasy land, and where can I get them?
[–] cynoclast [S] 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
Fox, Alex Jones, and AM radio propaganda. You don't want those drugs. They make you literally retarded.
