Well, shortly after 3pm, there was no change on the screen, except that two links appeared, one of them was a live stream of Trump's Poughkeepsie rally. It was a prank by some Trump supporter. So I got to see Trump speaking--so I know which rally you went.

Bill Clinton and Donald Trump are both abusers of women. I agree with your wife - Bill is my biggest problem with Hillary. BUT if this is a reason to not vote for Hillary, it would logically follow that Donald Trump is not a reasonable alternative. Voting for Trump would obviously be worse because in his case the woman abuser would be president whereas in Hillary's case the woman abuser would just be the president's spouse.

Absolutely! We are getting to the end of primaries and need to look ahead. It is hard for a card carrying Democrat to vote for a Republican. It is like religion. If you have been going to the church on Sundays, you can't go to some other house of worship. But Trump does not espouse any of the Republican orthodoxies. He is really running as an independent, making it much easier for Democrats that need a little shove to vote for him. How many are there? That's what this thread is all about.

You are not a real Bernie supporter because Bernie has said that he agrees with Hillary that a Republican should not win the Whitehouse. You are probably a Bernie bro who I think right now are more dangerous than even Tea Partiers.

Bernie supporter is not the same as Bernie. Otherwise all those millions of Bernie supporters would think the same as Bernie.

Bernie already declared publicly that if he doesn't get the nomination he would endorse Hillary over any Republican.

He also said Hillary wasn't qualified to be president.

That aside, I think you got the point or as it necessary for me to go full out Godwin?

Well for many people that is clearly the case otherwise Trump and Sanders would not have their respective supporters. However the idea that one could support one or the other and vice versa is simply irrationally inexplicable.
