A lot of people support Bushco policies, including among our party leadership.

Polls consistently show her able to win over only Trump and by a tiny margin, in contrast to Sanders who polls WAY better than she and loses to none of them.

Electability is your concern? Vote Sanders.

People are underestimating how many hard right wing people in this country are very uninformed, gullible, and pissed off at the GOP for one reason or another.

Obama has stated NO WAY trump becomes president.
There are several ways trump could be thwarted, the simplest would be to charge him with a felony. It wouldnt be too difficult, I'm sure the DOJ is siting on more than one charge waiting for the right time to pull the trigger.
Don't worry about trump, Obama has our backs.

he is merely a facilitator and/or con man.

He is simply using that which the GOP has created over the years.

Don't blame the thief because you put the money in front of him to take, or in this case fame and power.

Blame the organization that has worked diligently for decades to promote hate and intolerance of many.



edit: Yes, blame Trump, but also blame the real culprits here. Will there soon be a medical text book where a picture of Trump appears under the diagnosis psychopath and narcissist?

The second time being after the worst terror attack on this country happened on his watch, resulting in the deaths of thousands of people. That asshole ran at least 3 businesses into the ground, before running on a platform of running the country like a business. Nobody cared. I don't expect it will be any different regarding Trump, either.
