A Sanders nomination is about the only thing that will get me to vote for Trump.
So now you see the method to my madness. Thank you.
My brother is a huge Trump supporter (he's a cop) and he's been trying to get me to vote for him this time because I didn't last time. I jokingly said a couple of months ago that I would definitely for Trump if the Democrats nominated Sanders. I didn't actually think they'd be stupid enough to do it, but holy shit, stupid knows no bounds, apparently.
It couldn't get me to vote for Trump.
4 more years of Trump would equal incalculable damage unless there is a congressional check on him.
Bernie is an old man. There is no way he will go two terms. At best he'll be a one term choice and possibly checked by Congress. Unlike Trump - Bernie does appear to understand what is lawful and what is not, so I see his damage as lesser overall.
Let me explain this to you. If the Democrats ran on a platform that the Republicans are overspending and they would reduce the deficit and maybe turn it to a surplus, I would listen. Running on spending more and not caring about illegals is frightening. Bernie is the scariest of them all. One day is too many with his as President let alone 4 yrs. Want to see a deep recession, elect Bernie. We will all pay dearly. Democrats know this too. You don’t. Scary.
Let me explain this to you. Trump is a known quantity now. And that known quantity is horrendous. Supporting a president who supports child abuse at the border through 100% separation and long term incarceration, is not acceptable to me (and please, don't pretend it's the false dichotomy of open borders or total incarceration). This prez has blown up the deficit to unsustainable levels (and he's supposed to be a Republican????). You want 4 more years of unsustainable debt, shouldered by your young people, as you give massive tax breaks to the rich.
Bernie is highly unlikely to win the nomination - there are a lot of states like SC, that are not going to vote for a far left candidate. I'm not too worried - all of this is speculative.
If it came down to Bernie vs Donnie, ya - I'd vote Bernie...but it would for the same reason many voted for Trump 2016 - they couldn't stand Clinton.
