3. It's way, just way too real

Who in their right mind thought Trump could win the nomination now he most likely will.

13. I've always thought he could win the nomination . . .

And he could, conceivably, win the Presidency, too.

I believe this because I've seen similar craziness play itself out in my own State, a reasonably blue California that kicked out a Democratic governor and replaced him with a brash, know-nothing body builder/actor, a remarkably strange "Governator" who was completely out of his depth but who somehow managed to win election not just once, but twice.

So yeah, I believe anything can happen (and possibly will).

I really like the second one. So restrained and sophisticated compared to the other two, especially the nude statue in the fountain.

Hey, maybe Hillary or Bernie will invite him for dinner to thank him for gutting the GOP.

8. Agree about the statue, that's some cheesy gold on the Trump sign though

You'd think he could shake down Fort Knox for some better quality gold!

9. The vision is so that we all get along, not that you vote for Hillary

Bernie supporters, and I often am one, come across as even more defensive than Hillary supporters.

I don't remember this kind of taking it personal from other primaries, is this a millenial, gen-x thing? I can't imagine actually being that invested to get so wound up at this stage because it's still the Democratic party we're dealing with not the gop.

11. Defensive from all the lies thrown at Bernie.

What's worse is they know they are lies and keep pushing them anyway.

12. Yes I know but it's a two way clusterfuck

Hillary has more experience in that game. The game is politics, it's not nearly as dirty as the other side. That's why I wonder about generations because there's an oversensitivity I haven't witnessed before.
