With his massive victory in the Republican Nevada caucus its becoming increasingly obvious that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee and maybe even our next President. He could still collapse in a meltdown but at this point that seems about as unlikely as Ted Cruz actually being eligible to run for president. Just kidding kind of
But if Donald Trump is the likely Republican nominee that raises an important question: which of the Democrats running for president has the best chance of beating him? Americas Lawyer, Mike Papantonio, discusses this with Ed Schultz on RTs The Big Picture.

(90 posts)Polls showing Sanders beating the heck out of Trump and Clinton's relationship with the Trumps prove it.

(25,966 posts)Sanders has shown a real talent for calling the MSM on it's bullshit narratives. When people try to deploy lazy framing on him, he takes an immediate wrecking ball to it.
I think that's a tactic that will also work against Trump. Trump is a lot of talk and bluster. He's very very good at it, but Sanders has the right attitude to call him on it.

The big differences is Bernie has an integrity, an excellent record, and speaks truth to power. Trump is much more a demagogue. Now will people be swayed by the emotional call of a demagogue, or the emotional/intellectual call of Bernie? Also, Bernie will get many crossover voters because they do not want to vote for trump. I believe it will be Bernie they will go to. So he will beat Trump.
Hillary, whom I will vote for if she is the nominee, has many negatives on her. Not all are her fault, the Clintons were hounded ruthlessly forever. Still, a number of them are on her, and speak to her character, judgement and whom she may serve. I think she's too calculating a politician for her own good. Many people are tuned off by these actions and may not vote for her. Also, Hillary will not get many cross over voters who do not want to vote for Trump, because they also do not want to vote for her! I think her coattails will be short and she may loose against a Trump.
I believe Bernie is the best chance we have, and is a godsend at this point in our time, whether or not he wins the nomination. He has people thinking about the current, lopsided system and asking why can't we change it!
