What if we end up with a Trump/Bernie General Election...?

I know this sounds impossible. But in the immortal words of Stan Lee: "In this vast universe, all things are possible." Hillary has weaknesses. And God knows who the GOP "base" will end up nominating. It *could* be Donald... This would be the wildest, weirdest, most Gonzo election in history. Probably some 3rd Way type would run as a "moderate" Third Party candidate. Just think of the fun we'd all have!

someone decided to kill the poor pig and make it's skin into a football.


See, all things possible. Timing is important. Hillary's time was 8 years ago, sorry.

is absolutely terrifying given that would mean there is a chance he could become president.

Sanders will dismantle T Rump.

However, T Rump's candidacy will be nothing more than a "do you remember" by Labor Day.

All he would have to do is give that fat-fingered vulgarian plenty of rope.

Could you imagine how much contorting the media would be doing trying to make Trump smell like roses so they don't have to deal with a true progressive president. I'd almost pay to watch it.
