Not everyone at Mr. Sanders’s rallies is dreading a Trump victory, however.
Victor Vizcarra, 48, of Los Angeles, said he would much prefer Mr. Trump to Mrs. Clinton. Though he said he disagreed with some of Mr. Trump’s policies, Mr. Vizcarra said he had watched “The Apprentice” and expected that a Trump presidency would be more exciting than a “boring” Clinton administration.

Yes, the same man who declared that "there is no drought" in reference to California would surely make for an "exciting" President.  People need to stop looking at this like it's a reality show. There are serious consequences to these things.

Donald has been using Bernie's talking points and arguments to his advantage.
This is why Bernie should be careful with what he says. He's trying to get his supporters.

And the sad thing is that I'm sure a lot of BernieBros will eat it up. They don't see how Trump is manipulating them.

At this point, we all do.
All this is doing is damaging the party and our chances in November. If history is anything to go by almost all his supporters will come back to Hillary in due time, but it gets worse the longer this drags on.
If he stays in past the 7th, things will hit the ceiling. But thanks to his wife, we know he might be planning to announce his campaign's suspension that night.

I'm 90% sure he will concede that night.

Bernie doesn't like the rules and wants them both removed. Not sure how he intends on shutting the convention down though. Maybe by having his supporters protest
|
He's literally had decades to address committee rules.  Decades to address super delegate rules too.
What a sore loser, only complaining when he doesn't get his way.

I can see why they would feel that way. While the distribution of wealth is being exponentially rigged towards the top 1%, the GP continue to sleep on this economic turmoil. Why? Because each establishment president is a walking tranquilliser prescribed by the oligarchs, as they dish out weak incentives as pain killers, to slowly ease the American people into serfdom. Trump is not a tranquilliser. He is going to push America to the breaking point of pitchforks and guillotines. Exciting!

But with regard to that specific issue, Trump would only further exacerbate the income disparities between classes.

Well maybe if you have family in the Middle East or just so happen to think brown lives matter, that 7% makes a difference? Perhaps after voting for the Iraq war and claiming it to be a mistake that she has learned from, overseeing the destabilisation of Libya and Syria years after, things start to add up?
And she continues to hint at more interventionism in the years to come of her presidency. Could it be true what they say? Once a hawk always a hawk?

Literally half of my family lives in the Middle East 
I'm part Persian. 
It's not like voting for Donald Trump, who wants to ban Muslims, and is vocal about use of weapons, is a preferable choice.

No. Sorry. If you are a Bernie supporter and I assume you agree with his views, then you SHOULD support Hillary over Trump. A reasonable, smart person would come to that conclusion. If not, then you don't care about your country, the world, the people around you, or yourself.

He wants to give tax breaks to the wealthy, he said wages are too high, and he has no plans to deal with health care, Social Security, and job creation.
So basically the rich gets richer under his "plans" and the middle class falls further into poverty levels.

And you are still a Hillary supporter? Hmm.

I C. In that case Retro, it only supports my hypothesis. Trump will be the one to take America over the edge!
