58. I do too. But it didn't make sense to me to compare Sanders and Trump

It means nothing. Sanders is not a republican and Trump is not a Democrat. Any fool can predict that Trump will be the nominee over the rest of the dolts in the Republican clown car. But it doesn't have anything to do with Senator Sanders winning the Democratic nomination.

Skinner (one of the DU admins) stated the other day that here at DU, people support Sander's over Clinton 6 to 1. If the rest of the country is like minded (which we really don't know) then Sanders has it by a landslide.
