Biden would be another 4 or 8 years of Obama. People are ready for "change" again. He is also seen as too old and the connection with Obama hurts him since Obama's approval ratings are in the tank.

Sanders is a Socialist. Many in this country associate that with Communism. He is also seen as a weak leader and too old for the job. His only appeal is that the youth sees him as Santa Claus because he is going to give them free stuff like college tuition among other things.
Sanders would easily defeat Trump in a general election according to polls (google them). Sanders is a very strong candidate and his rallies are more exciting to watch than Trump's. People associated Obama with socialism/communism back in 2008 and he still won....TWICE. So I don't see why Bernie can't win.

I wasn't a fan of his - but the more he ticks off the crybabies, the more I'm liking him. Why? He speaks the truth on a lot of things, that need addressed in this Country - Starting with Illegal Aliens...
GO TRUMPER! .... Early training?

It should be noted that Gingrich won the all important SC primary. However there is this.....

The GOP establishment at the time didn't want Gingrich. Too much of a wild card which they couldn't control. IMO, they moved against him by putting that spoiler Rick Santorum in the race which split the "we don't want Romney vote" giving Romney the win but not the majority in many places. Then after Gingrich was done, Santorum pulled out of the race. Romney get the nomination. Of course, this rovian strategy failed as he wasn't able to bet Obama.

This won't work against Trump. They have already pulled all the stops out to try and blunt Trump's rise, and they have all failed.

IMO, he's a weak candidate. Unlike Trump, he choose to step back when the BLM took over his rally, so what will he do if confronted by Putin? Back down? We already have one of those types in office right now.
Trump handled his press conference yesterday well; Ramos was incredibly rude, Trump took care of the problem, and let Ramos back in 10 minutes later. It's clear Trump will not be railroaded by the PC press, unlike most politicians these days (sans Cruz).

Although I have yet decided who to support, I do know it won't be Clinton. That woman is evil and sneaky.

Regardless, I MUCH prefer a candidate that talks plain English, gives answers that make sense, and doesn't try to Baffle you with Bull****. Obama talks a big talk but our country is going down the toilet and we need change to stop it. Obama has NEVER been for our Country. If he could get away with it, we'd all be praying to the Quran, supporting every damn person that thinks America is the place to be but doesn't want to work for it, and turning us into stupid cows that follow along without an independent thought in our heads.

We questions are asked, I want to see a candidate with a no bull**** answer. Yes, no, I don't know. Not blah blah blah blah. American's are tired of being treated like we don't know how to run our lives and need to be led around by our noses. Just saying...

This is what Sanders looks like about 30 minutes into the debate with Trump.

A rich buffoon may have to suffice. It might be a buffoon other than Trump. But rich by my standards he'll likely be. But probably NOT as rich as Trump.



CN.......
The Dali Lama is the current in a line of reincarnated Lama's stretching back thousands of years to the first Dali Lama. He fully intends to be reincarnated to be the next Dali Lama. He has something all of Trumps money would can't get for him. The Dali Lama his immortality!
