1. Not just that guy gets treated as a serious contender

The whole GOP clown car get treated as serious contenders

[A Simple Game]

2. But none of them are running against the anointed one yet.

Bernie probably won't be a viable candidate until he wins the first three primaries. He will then be upgraded to a long shot candidate.

[Agschmid]

17. Stop with the bull.

anointed one

It's such a ridiculous meme.

[A Simple Game]

22. Inevitable one? n/t

[Little Star]

29. It's a damn good thing that Skinner....

said we should be nice to Bernie supporters even in the face of this kind of nastiness. So I'm going to take the high road here but my legs are getting tired walking that tightrope.

30. So my post was the first time you heard Hillary called the anointed or inevitable one?

You need to get out more often.

So please, and I really mean this, tell me what is so offensive about anointed or inevitable? Because maybe not anointed but inevitable is exactly the reason many Hillary supporters say it is foolish to support Bernie.

Another word that may irritate you when a Bernie supporter says it but not when a Hillary supporter says it is, insurmountable, as pertaining to her lead, a lead that by the way diminishes almost daily. Shades of '08! I think that is what irritates Hillary supporters, they see history repeating itself.

5. One Thing that is for sure

The GOP clown car isn't a "Smart Car"!

[swilton]

6. priceless!

3. Sycophantic MSM

He's really rich so we must suck up to him.

Bernie is scary, he could make the 1% actually pay their way, we can't have that, no sir. Must make fun of him at all times, diminish anything he accomplishes and make sure he's not viable.

Sorry, MSM. Seems more people are making up their own minds and not following your deranged lead, for once.

[Fred Sanders]

4. Seriously, is any serious media taking Trump seriously?

Remember how seriously the media took once front runners Bachmann, Trump the first time, and Mr. 999? Even Perry and Santorum and Gingrich led the polls at one time. Entertainment value and eyeball gathering is what is really serious to the traditional media, any way is a good way.

There is undoubtably serious worry among the traditional media about not only Sanders, but how Sanders is pulling the Democraric Party to the socialist left, creating a true populism that the right wing mimicked with the astro turfed Tea Party that is barely mentioned by name anymore.

The eventual nominee for the Democraric Party is going to be the recipient of that populism, it is a good thing, making it even more imperative that the most electable candidate be nominated...and right now that is overwhelming Madame Secretary.

10. Love to see the Trump at the top of the ticket. Be nice! He's a gift.

[jomin41]

27. Hadn't seen this graph before.

Fascinating! Thanks.

[Uncle Joe]

7. Not to mention, Bernie has actuallly been elected to something, Trump

has only been fired.

Thanks for the thread, kpete.

[timdog44]

20. Not to mention

and don't tell him I said this - BANKRUPT A GAZILLION TIMES

[Mr. Evil]

8. Not to mention the fact that Donald Trump is not a serious candidate.

He is going to milk his 'candidacy' for as much free publicity as he can until he has to disclose his finances and where his money comes from. He will drop out just like that. He's nothing but a disgusting attention whore.

[Maynar]

19. Didn't he say

he was using his own money, not wanting to be beholden to anyone? I seem to recall..

Still a fool.

[tblue37]

23. He would still need to file a financial disclosure form--and he is probably

leveraged up the wazoo. He wants/needs people to believe he's a lot wealthier (and more *liquid*) than he really is, and especially with the losses he is suffering because of hi big mouth, he can't afford to be transparent about his finances.

[SheilaT]

9. Is this a great country

or what?

[tomm2thumbs]

11. Dumbf*ckery at it's finest

I think we should remove the T from Donald's name and call him by his true self.

'The Rump' --

(or horse's a** if you prefer)

[marble falls]

26. No, the Rump is what I'm using from now on.

[sadoldgirl]

12. Oh, he will drop out before

his financial statements need to be filed, but, but, but

I soooo want to hear and watch him during one or
two debates. He should not deprive us of that joy.

[PADemD]

25. August 6th is the first GOP debate.

[Thespian2]

13. So very TRUE!!!

but I just can't abide looking at The Donald's evil face...


GO, BERNIE...

[appalachiablue]

14. Calling Herman Caine, at least he was entertaining, vulgar and fairly dumb.

And that great video of his campaign manager Mark Block in the alley smoking a cigarette. SO creepy weird!

[Initech]

15. Imagine there's no pizza...

[appalachiablue]

21. Truth like this only verifies on a metaphysical level that the species is clearly headed for swift

decline and extinction (with no pizza). I've seen the light from Brother Cain, I realize salvation is not possible, not even 999, there is no doubt in my mind...

[Enthusiast]

16. My sentiments, exactly.

The media is complete bullshit!

[spanone]

18. k&r...

[sulphurdunn]

28. I support Bernie Sanders.

If I believed he had a chance to win the Democratic Party nomination and the presidential election I would need to believe I live in a representative democracy that represents people who would vote for Bernie Sanders. I don't.
