16. In a general?

May 2016

Trump would be insane and would lose the general in even larger numbers than if he is his own sorry self...sorry anyone who buys mysongenist,racist Trump who thinks it would be fine to use nukes could be a liberal is already a Republican. His favorite justice is Scalia...I know many Bernie supporters want to believe Trump is more liberal than Hillary which of course is nonsense but what? are you starting to believe your own propaganda? If you want to support 'liberal' leaning Trump,you should not do it on this site anyway. He is a monster and anyone who votes for him has blood on his/her hands. This is why I am very disappointed in Bernie for not getting out and risking the general.

But hasn't Trump also called for abolishing the Minimum Wage altogether? no_hypocrisy May 2016 #1
Exactly. He's moving left. That's what politicians do. They troll the Left, then govern to the right WhaTHellsgoingonhere May 2016 #6
