    I guess we could do the reverse too, say you can't go to war until your old enough to drink and gamble, raise the age to 21

    You're dreaming.

    People who are so locked into a Party that they will vote for someone currently under investigation for putting National Security at risk for convenience are not the majority. She'll get the die hard Democrat always types, and that's it.

    So true, my sister in law was a die hard liberal in her 20's and now she is 35 with three kids and is voting for Trump. I guess when you have skin in the game, you wise up.

    Nothing, far as I can tell. At some point she'll realize she has grown, and become a Conservative.

    Is the FBI looking into it, and does it put ALL Americans at risk? Perhaps you'd link what you mean, I'm not sure what fraud case you are talking about honestly. Does it match the magnitude of Hillary?

    Trump Univeristy. Don't worry, you'll hear a lot about it soon. Do you have a link of the FBI saying Hillary is personally the target of the investigation?

    I would support him if I wasn't concerned with him taking Congress seats with him

    Trump University....versus the National Security of the Nation....hmmm...yeah those are equal. And don't try and play word games, no one here said Hillary herself is the target of the FBI investigation, they are looking into her use of email as we all know. Why even try that stuff? Why feel the need to deflect from her terrible stewardship of the nations business?

    Trump runs out of free windbreakers with the Trump U. logo........or the Chinese and Russians now have all of our classified documents from the State Dept.

    That's a close one.

    I think they hold their nose and vote for Hillary, just not enthusiastically.

    Bernie is a closer second to Hillary than either Cruz or Rubio are to Trump, and both Trump and Hillary are on pace for a first ballot victory.

    Unfortunately, I can see this being the case as well...but not because she doesn't warrant it, but because corruption runs Washington. The very fact someone can be going through this kind of investigation and be running for President at the same time makes this clear to me.

    Any notion that Bernie's supporters are going to sit it out (and not support Hillary in the fall) represents the height of abject ignorance.

    Ha ha! No one thought the far lefties would swing so far to the right your head would spin.

    But then I've always considered Trump a good choice if you don't like any of the available candidates. It's sort of a final revenge for a lack-luster campaign season this time around.

    Yeah.....but the Trump University scandal is gonna be big.
    When the Donald ran out of the free windbreakers with the Trump logo on them.......and then tried to substitute those hats from his old USFL days..........that was scandalous.

    Even if every one of them went to Hillarys side,( which simply wont happen as not everyone has sworn allegiance to Party over everything else), Im not sure it's going to matter. Democrats are not energizing anyone this time around, and the numbers are making them very nervous.

    Even with Bernie, who has energized a lot of young people interest doesn't seem to be there as it was in 08. Without Bernie?

    Trump wins.

    THIS IS NOT NEWS. I have been saying for months that there is a good segment of Sanders supporters who will go with Dear Leaser Trumpf.

    Won't be hard. Unless Bloomerboy jumps in, I will vote for Trump or stay at home probably. Bernie was my guy, and Hillary is so not, never was and never will be my gal. She is a Wall Street boardroom ho.

    Trump's major appeal is to the disaffected in the Obama economy. There are a lot of people out there unemployed or underemployed and struggling just to get by. Bernie attracts them on the left, and Trump from both sides. It's not hard to see that if Bernie loses his bid, and he will, to the undemocratic Democrat nomination, Trump can reach across the aisle and make a lot of the same promises that Bernie has made. He'll get away with it too. Their messages really aren't all that different.
