Of course the debate audience was stacked against Trump. The GOP establishment will try to take him down until the very bitter end.

As someone who voted for Trump in the NH primary I'm increasingly aware of the fact I have no friggin clue what a Trump presidency will look like. Anyone who wants to tell us that they know what it will look like is full of shit. But that's what people don't get about many Trump supporters. He's not viewed as savior. He's a ticking time bomb squat in the middle of a system that needs to blown up. I'll take that explosion and the ensuing uncertainty over the status quo crap that every other candidate with the exception of Sanders represents in a heartbeat. Burn it down and piss on the ashes!

They're well on their way.

Trump and Sanders: Are They Killing the Stock Market?
U.S. stocks have fallen sharply since Trump and Sanders began rising in popularity in the polls. It could be more than coincidence.

Yes, because any investor can tell you that 2015 was a banner year for stocks until Trump and Sanders came along at the end of the year.

Jesus Christ! I agree with this, except that my first choice is Sanders and if that doesn't pan out Trump is my preferred alternative.

In fact just the other day I was one mouse click away from ordering a Trump bumper sticker for my car. I have a Bernie one now. I was thinking about moving the Bernie one from the middle over to the left (of course) side and then putting the Trump one on the right. I still might do that.

I think he will be a pragmatist.

I think that many Sanders supporters and Trump supporters may have the same big picture diagnosis of the problem. However they view each others different solutions as tantamount to drinking cyanide laced Kool Aid. Rand Paul was my first choice, when he couldn't cut it my anger naturally led me to Trump. I think Sanders has a good heart but there's nothing on this earth that could ever make me vote for him. If Trump is not the GOP nominee I will vote third party as I did when I voted for Chuck Baldwin in 2008.

While I'm at it, maybe I'll get a Trump baseball cap to wear with my Bernie T-shirt.
