Good, let Trump run 3rd party with Bernie as his vp and tell the two party system to fuck off.

I was hoping for Trump/Cruz, but I would take Trump/Sanders, I think. No real power for the VP unless PotUS dies.

Trump can achieve the same outcome as Bernie but he will do it in a way that makes sense. They at least agree on trade.

Can you imagine the arguments in the oval office? lol
Bern: "Let's give free health care to everyone!"
Don: "Who is going to pay for it?"
Bern: "Wall street taxes"
Don: "But that has nothing to do with health care."
Bern: "But they make too much money."
Don: "My argument still stands. Totally unrelated businesses. Stay focused old man."
Under breath Don mumbles.. "mur mur fired.."

Trump has supported single payer healthcare in the past, they probably would agree with each other eventually

I'd vote for them but it 100% would never happen.
I'm hoping that Trump and Bernie both run as independents, and both major parties get ripped apart in the process.
[–] Pawn 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
I'd love that to happen.

"There will always be a perception problem if people continue to miss—to not explain the process properly. So, the 2012 rules committee writes the rules for the 2012 convention. The 2016 rules committee writes the rules for the 2016 convention,” RNC Chairman Reince Priebus told CNN.
Translation:" We needed to fuck Ron Paul over in 2012 but he's not in the race anymore and we need to fuck Donald Trump over in 2016, so yea we decided that rule 40 thing doesn't exist anymore."

Look, if you're going to pay attention the puppet masters shall have to work a lot harder. Please look the other way.

It's a good thing. It shows how rigged the system is. People are waking up faster than ever.

Uh-oh.... guys... Hear that? That dull, faint sound of 100 million axes grinding... There's gonna be blood...
[–] TigrisMorte 1 point 1 point 2 points (+2|-1) ago
Yeah, these entitled "my fuck up of not getting an education is someone else's fault!" are going to get off the couch and actually put their asses on the line. Right, gonna happen any day now, sure.

It expires the day before this year's convention. This was not some secret to anyone paying attention.
Fuck the GOP.
TRUMP 2016!

If the RNC does this it hands the race to Shillary period. I hate her and think she'd make a terrible president, but I would hate the RNC shitting on the will of the people more. I would vote Dem as a symbolic vote against this decision (unless Trump pulls the $$ to get recognized as a third party write in canidate).
[–] aaronC 0 points 6 points 6 points (+6|-0) ago
That's what they want. Hilary is as establishment as it gets, and things like military industrial complex getting no bid contracts for things the military doesn't need, at taxpayer's expense will not in risk of going away.
[–] sdgsdgsdgsg 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Theres a coup underway. Hillarys not going anywhere. The race the public is currently focused on is not the race that will matter.

Care to explain?
[–] antiplebbitor 3 points 1 point 4 points (+4|-3) ago
Might as well shoot ourselves in the face if we vote demon-rat. Fuck that.
[–] New_years_day ago
That's exactly what they want, they are on the same team.....wake the fuck up.
[–] GirlsLoveMyFarts 0 points 5 points 5 points (+5|-0) ago
If they do this, there will be massive upheaval.
You think all those hundreds of thousands of people that attended Trump rallies will just let that slide?
This country will be massively divided.

Isn't that what they want?

Do they want to lose me as a swing voter because that's how they lose me as a swing voter.

Were there? I've never read about it. I wouldn't be surprised if they keep it under wraps. The establishment doesn't like it when people think for themselves.

Indeed there were riots
