    You guys are wasting a lot of bandwidth arguing something that'll never happen. Bernie could win with 81% of the vote and he'd never get free college.

    HTH

    And trump would never be able to ban Muslims from entering the US, even with a republican congress.
    Does that mean we shouldn't talk about that? Because the media says otherwise

    The Bern is garnering media interest because he's climbing in the polls. However, he is still way behind Clinton according to some polling such as this:

    The Bern is a loony old man, it's surprising he's putting up any challenge at all, but as @RaceBannon has pointed out, Hillary is a terrible campaigner. She could miss this easy lay up, but IMO she won't, the power dems are all in with her. I think it will take an indictment or something like it to derail her at this point.

    Actually Hillary is a good campaigner. You can disagree with her politics. But the Clinton machine is powerful in politics. And right now she's doing what she needs to, basically lie low and not do or say much.

    Bernie will never win. I don't truly think Trump goes through the whole process. The way he's attacking people. I think he keeps waiting for an attack to go too far and people jump off the bandwagon.

    Bernie won't win but some of his policies will end up being enacted no matter who wins. During the next downturn, even if its soft, we will likely see a massive increase in government spending and at somepoint in the next 4-8 years tax increases on the wealthy.

    Bernie is actually the only candidate who wouldn't be controlled by the special interests besides trump who is a blowhard.
    On the other hand congress will still be corrupt as fuck so it probably wouldn't matter

    What I like about sanders is he is mostly a libertarian when it comes to civil stuff like NSA, guns, etc.
    There is some stuff to like. My disdain for him and his candidacy has more to do with his voter base (the pc, pussy far left who I can't stand) than he himself.
    He's also not really someone that commands respect in a room full of world leaders
