Sanders would have continued to explain out how he was going to pay for his ideas (which he always did) while Trump would have continued spending money and paying for them with tax cuts.
No you can't. Had Sanders been the Democratic nominee, the GOP would have unleashed all kinds of attacks on him like they did on Hillary. I like SANDERS A LOT, but I also realize the the GOP attack machine largely left him alone because he wasn't the nominee (and was expected to be). Had he been the nominee suddenly the "He's a SOCIALIST" attacks would have started in earnest - and a LOT of very stupid Americans have an enormous fear of Socialism. Virtually ALL of those are the very same people who voted for Trump against Hillary.
Sanders MIGHT have won, but no one can say that for sure, because the GOP campaign would have been very different.

The notion that if Democrats had chosen Sanders as their candidate, then we wouldn't have ended up with with Trump is just nonsense.
Agree with these. I voted for Mr. Sanders in the NY primary however have long ago accepted the fact he did not succeed as Democratic candidate. I also accepted his explanation & the rationale given for standing with Ms. Clinton. He used rational persuasion to influence my vote for Ms. Clinton. Additionally, there were no lucid 3rd Party candidates offered. 3rd Party candidates did not rationally persuade or influence my vote, those offered were incoherent on significant issues, it wasn't that I was ensured they wouldn't succeed as viable candidates, it was that I didn't agree with their plans, or lack of plans. A pro-Labor candidate with a strategy for effectively dealing with the problems associated with the ever-increasing financialization of the US would've been a winner in my book even if they didn't 'win' the office.
I want to know who Comey's replacement will be. Trump has had some trouble finding replacements for people he's fired before. Candidates hesitate to take on what is usually a peach of a job offer because they don't want to be at risk of getting fired due to Trump's impulsiveness.

Potential employees find him to be just as untrustworthy & incompetent as do most American people.
Re: bold: how about tamping down on the drama & calling it for what it is ~ the Trump administration desires to avoid scrutiny by preventing transparency.
Re: bold: (Stating the obvious) The 'speed' of the process is less concerning than the legitimacy.
It is clear that some of the left do not get it or they acknowledge they have broken laws for political gain! The Administration and the Obama political appointees have worked to preserve power and continuation of the Obama policies.
Comey should of been gone by any standard of good Police work. He had compromised the FBI and the left hated him. The GOP quested the fact HRC was in violation of USC 18 and the sub violations.
Based on standard Comey should of been called. Obstruction of justice?
Lynch hand ample room for a indictment (HRC)which Comey laid out. The problem for Demarcates could of resulted in the Impeachment for Obama and the senior leadership of the party.
Now we looking at criminal charges for all of the mentioned Leadership.
Pedesta
Obama
Bill and Hil
Sharon Millis
Huma
Shultz and Brazil
Plus the Hundreds of Obama insiders that were complicit knowingly or not, that carried out the orders from the Senior Leadership of the socialist Dem. Party!
She had already lost. People in Detroit and Philly didn't vote for her over things Obama had done.
Nope. Clinton beat Trump in Detroit 95% to 3%.
'...Donald Trump carried Michigan by 10,704 votes, or 47.5% to 47.3%, according to the final results submitted to the Michigan Secretary of State. But in Detroit, Democrat Hillary Clinton trounced Trump, winning 95% of the vote to his 3%....

Um yeah, because Republican Comey had "such a love" for the Democrats and Hillary Clinton.
It always cracks me up when City-Data "legal scholars" bloviate with their "profound" knowledge of the law.
Give me a break.
WHERE is your law degree from again?
If the case against Clinton is "so strong" what's stopping Trump and his AG from pressing charges NOW? After all, HE SAID HE WOULD DO SO. Was Trump just LYING to you all along? Gee, imagine that.
Funny how all the leftists were calling for Comey's head during the election, with many Democrat leaders saying Obama should axe him, but as soon as Trump actually does it, you're all calling for his head.
Oh, the hypocrites! Makes me laugh.
