(5,614 posts)The possibility exists that the GOPuke establishment will somehow keep Trump out of the running and get someone more or less respectable to run as their candidate. Colin Powell, for example. Someone with a record that is not as odious or reprehensible as the Three Stooges left in the Clown Car (people who think Kasich represents a more legitimate candidate just hasn't been paying attention).
HRC is actually a weak candidate, despite the hype, and confronted with a "moderate conservative" who does not want to eliminate the last half century, would have a hard time winning. If they somehow manage to get Rubio or even Jeb into the race her calculations can run up short.
As to Senator Sanders the HRC people are correct. THe GOPukes would drop a mountain of lies and tales on him and he has not faced the kind of attacks sure to come to any Democratic nominee, especially a Godless Socialist (not to mention a Jew). The real question is whether the US public would hear his side of the story. For those without the Internet that is an open question.
So, my point is, Pray for Trump. He's our last, best hope.
