HuskerShark Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 That's where I sit on that particular crowd as well BRB. I totally understand feeling like status quo isn't working and wanting to be anti-establishment. But I'm nothing short of astonished that they've chosen to hitch their wagon to Donald Trump. I suppose we're all settling to some degree. To be fair, even if I weren't a fan of Trump... For people wanting to vote for anti-establishment candidates, Trump is the most viable candidate. Sanders is also anti-establishment, but is also a self-proclaimed socialist. Sorry, but socialism is thievery, and his policies would be the final nail in the coffin of what was once the greatest country on the planet. I felt like Sanders' platform, while it appeals strongly to his base, who view it as common sense, would've been somewhat damning in the general. Americans don't want to hear you're going to raise their taxes. Period. Regardless how altruistic the justification. If you can successfully paint the person who wants to raise your taxes as a socialist, I can't imagine that going over well in a general election. Bernie's proposing more tax increases than any candidate in my lifetime. I think that would've been a much more interesting match-up than Clinton vs. Trump, though. I agree. I think Trump will dominate both, personally, but he would have absolutely crushed Bernie. Link to comment
