Bernie is ok, personality-wise, and like I've said, would vote for him over Trump if that were the matchup.  But, he reminds me of the high schooler running for class president who promises no more homework and 4 hour recess.  He's not grounded in reality at all in almost all of his policy proposals, and his most ardent supporters tend to be the young and naive who don't have a grasp on reality and don't know any better.

(Bernie)  He's not grounded in reality at all in almost all of his policy proposals, and his most ardent supporters tend to be the young and naive who don't have a grasp on reality and don't know any better.

I disagree.  Actually he's been channeling FDR and Dwight Eisenhower trying to bring America back to a more progressive position.

Interesting.
This election cycle we have a guy who pledges,
to deport 11 million people,
To build a wall over 1200 miles long and make another country pay for it,
To ban about a billion people from visiting this country based upon religion,
To  partially default on treasury securities,
To look Putin in the eye and solve all problems there,
To have a trade war with China,
To "take out ISIS" while being isolationist at the same time,
Said he possessed proof that Obama doesn't have a valid birth certificate,
Said he had proof that the Mexican government conspired to send criminals to the U.S.,
Said he saw "thousands and thousands" of New Jersey residents celebrating on 9/11,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
',,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,and Bernie is the guy "not grounded in reality"?

Ok, Common and CT chimed in, so now we have one feelin' the Bern, two feelin' the Don, one 'Not Trump' one feelin' virtually nothing, and three feelin' the Hil.

Hillary - 3
Trump - 2
Bernie - 1
Who Cares - 1 
Not Trump - 1

Gotta hear from Lager, flowergirl, tarnation, tropical fox, and whoever else is hanging around.  Can't forget Jeerleader jumping in now and then even if there's no gun stuff involved.

I would not take too much out of our little group here and how that polled ! 

I would be curious though of the people who support Trump and don't want Hillary, just what of her stances that they think would be worse than Trump and or conversely what positions (IF you can pin them down) that he espouses that makes him better. 

I have pretty much stated here and elsewhere those things specifically I think disqualify Trump so I won't repeat them. 

 

 
I don't support Trump, but will vote for him over Clinton.  Why? Because Trump is an unknown.  I'll take my chances with an unknown over Hillary Clinton.  I know what we would get with Clinton, and it's not what I want.  If in four years Trump is bad, we vote him out.
