I say it's gonna be Trump vs Bernie
I really think that by the time the real contest is decided, in other words after the primaries, it'll be Trump vs Sanders, which would suit me just fine.
Sanders is the man, but I wouldn't mind having Trump, either. Trump's pretty progressive on a lot of things, such as Social Security, health care, spending on infrastructure and basic research, normalizing relations with Russia, getting us out of wars that should only be of concern to Europe, etc.
Trump was dismissed by the ruling Republican elite from day one. Actually, he was dismissed by everyone, pretty much. The mainstream media has done EVERYTHING to try to bring him down including Fox and Roger Ailes with that blatant ambush attempt at the GOP debates.
Trump has survived and hes thriving.
As for Bernie, his greatest ally at this point is Hillary who is imploding by the second. It would seem impossible for her to escape the damage she has brought on herself. In addition, she doesn't have the personality or the energy or the charisma. She's toast.
And Biden, Gore(???) no way. Bernie's going all the way.
So, Bernie and Trump. That's my call.
