He's energized a new demographic of republican voters that just didn't vote before. And all the die-hard GOP'ers, as much shit as they give him, will never vote for Clinton over him. And when the debates start he's going to sway the center with his superior persuasive skills. I do think it's pretty funny how both sides seem to believe it will be a landslide for their candidate. I'm not sure why on anyone thinks Trump has persuasive skills when his opponents pretty much foot in mouthed their way out of the race without him doing anything. It's not like he persuaded Paul Ryan into blindly supporting him. And Trump sure didn't persuade anyone his judge comments weren't dumb as hell and thus had to walk back on them. I thought the whole reason people think he is popular is because he is saying things people wanted to hear said...in which case that takes 0 persuasive skills. "Expressing the will of the people" doesn't require changing anyone's mind. I am not sure he persuaded anyone of anything this cycle really. Do people actually read his book/listen to him speak and believe he's not exaggerating every single aspect of himself? That's one step below believing people on the internet. | ||

Just lol. I won't be voting for Hillary even if Bernie endorses her, the stories I've heard about how her and policies she's supported have impacted peoples lives, I can't, in good conscience, vote for her. I think Hillary doesn't get more than 10% of Bernie's supporters/the Obama coalition she didn't have in the primary. If you shave 10% off of Obama's support and Trump matches Romney, Hillary loses. I'd like Dems to realize that's one of a multitude of reasons nominating her is a terrible idea but they seem intent to send someone who's statistically tied with her opponent and the personification of everything he is running against into the election despite multiple warnings and knowing she'll share a foreign policy advisory in common with Trump by the name of Henry Kissinger. I seriously can't wrap my mind around how left leaning people could possibly support someone who thinks Kissinger is someone they should take FP advice from. | ||

Biden, Obama, Warren and Sanders is a good day. | ||

This is a one or the other deal at this point. Inaction is consent. | ||

Biden, Obama, Warren and Sanders is a good day. I worded that wrong. I meant that she only needs to fail to get ~10% of Bernie's supporters to end up losing to Trump. Not sure what you were waiting for though. | ||

I also call bullshit on the notion that not voting for Hillary is the same as voting for Trump. There are 10's of millions of Americans that aren't Bernie or Trump supporters she could try to earn votes from. If she and her supporters fail, that's on them, not on people who won't vote for her. | ||

That is why you posted that you wouldn't be voting for Clinton, which you could have kept to yourself. Just like always, its all about you. I suppose I could of went back and quoted the post I was responding to so you wouldn't end up coming off as a pretentious jerk in your post.

My apologies if already posted: + Show Spoiler + About as close to an endorsement as you can get. He's still campaigning in DC, so obviously no endorsement. But he did make it clear he would be working with her. GH, what do you think? But I suppose that's easier than refuting that I'm right. What's particularly funny is you had just kissed off my vote anyway so it's clear your response is a result of not liking that I'm right and the whole "but Trump!?!?" being a terrible campaign strategy. | ||
