The real winner in New Hampshire was Sanders. Bernie got 150,000 voters into the booths compared to Trump's 100,000. In the general election a lot of people will vote for "anyone but Trump."

Nonsense. The GOP establishment hated Reagan. Reagan won twice.

The golf pants, plaid jacket GOP establishment types need to sit down, shut up and learn a lesson. This is a teaching moment for them.

Simple Definition of chaos

: complete confusion and disorder : a state in which behavior and events are not controlled by anything

Another way of saying the self appointed political elitists have been exposed and rejected. It is nice that we can all agree with them on that.

: the state of the universe before there was any order and before stars and planets were formed

Trump = The Big Bang Theory and now we can start to see how order is restored.


Some other definitions:

Chaos = any state of confusion or disorder, it may also refer to:
Lawlessness (disambiguation), a lack of laws or law enforcement
Anarchy, lawlessness or a stateless society


There is no question the sitting president is responsible for much of the chaos failing his oath of office in supporting lawlessness.

You must know a lot of people with your prediction or I believe it is called wishful thinking .

All GOP voters aren't anti establishment blue collar workers either, the establishment has a large demographic who have controlled the party and most likely still do, I think you are being naive to think all it takes is to get some people excited about a candidate, it happened with obama in 08 but it happened because the dnc wanted it to happen because at the end of the day for all the talk of change and hope he was no different than what a Hillary presidency would have been like.

In a primary there is a winner from both parties, generally speaking. Also there may be those who will vote for anybody but Trump but there are also plenty of people who would vote for anybody but Sanders. The sort of democratic socialism he espouses is appealing to many but is a complete deal breaker for many others. And don't think there aren't plenty of people who would vote for anyone but Hillary either. In fact the "anybody but _____" vote has been one of the deciding factors in many elections in this era of politics of personal destruction.


All that being said I hope Bernie does win the nomination, and I hope Trump does as well. Both candidates have their problems but the only way the establishment is going to get the message is if they are left out in the cold entirely in the general election. Don't think the shakeup that Trump and Sanders has brought to the race is going to be worth a mosquito's fart if an establishment candidate is able to muscle through the primary process and then make his or her way to the White House. They'll pay a little bit of lip service to the dissenters, probably say "we hear you loud and clear" in a sanctimonious manner, and then go right back to business as usual.

Sounds like a lot of wishful thinking! There were only about 250,000 votes cast for the Democrats and there were about 270,000 Republican votes cast. Both of us can come up with many different scenarios on where that support will go as only one emerges victorious. So far, from some of the polls I saw, it is more likely that Democrats will jump for Trump than the other way around.


Just don't count your chickens before they hatch!

You should be more worried about Hillary becoming the Democratic nominee. She's going to go over like a lead balloon in the general election. It's the year of the anti-establishment candidate...

Believe it or not, there were a lot of us that didn't like him then either. We felt, whether Obama was or was not born on US soil was a mute point at that time. Some of us actually do feel, there comes a time when we all have to "get over it"
