    He's neither a limited government candidate nor an individual freedom candidate. I frankly can't see why my fellow Republicans like him. He espouses no true conservatism, he just mimics the edges of conservatism. Trump is no more a conservative than is Hillary Clinton.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Trump acting like a dem as president.

    This flat tax thing though. Utter lunacy. We Can all agree in that.

    We have been in a Democrat Keynesian economy for 8 years, the previous 52 months of full employment, rising incomes, solid GDP growth, soaring tax revenues and a deficit down to a paltry $161B was due to GOP neo-conservative policies, that was proceed by more of the and sent the economy into high gear and the resulting tax revenues enabled the 3 years of surplus budgets.

    Get the Dems out of the way so everyone can get back to work becoming tax payers instead of tax receivers and watch the economy boom and the middle class increases it's lot.

    I briefly considered changing my registration to D so I could vote for Sanders in the primary but decided not too. Still it would be fun to get at least one chance to cast a vote against Hillary, I doubt if she will make it to the general between the FBI and SAnders

    My first choice, Joe Biden, isn't available. I would have no problem voting for Sanders against Trump.

    Sanders does not want to win the nomination at all, let alone the general election.
    This self-hating Jewish guy merely wants to babble a bit about "socialism" and "revolution" to revive the old lie of "Jewish Communist conspiracy" !

    I choose Sanders for a number of reasons. First he is a social democrat, with an ideology to not side with the rich few to raise billions of dollars. Rather than that he relies on small donors to fund his election campaigns. He is opting for the Nordic type of socialism, kind of democracy where the smallest wage earners are valued and voiced for. He believes the working class and the middle class families are the backbones of the American economy

    Then does that mean they won't enact Hillary's agenda? Because Hillary is just stopping herself barely(a tinie tiny bit) from Sanders at this point. Watching the Fourth primary between the Democrats was honestly sad as a former Liberal. We had a much better primary and better choices in 2008. Never should've went with Obama. Destroyed the nation and the party in the process.

    Jewish self-hatred is indeed "some perverse reverse form of anti-Semitism".
    Not only in Sanders' case.

    I'll play the role of perotista for one post. If you are going to put a gun to my head then shoot me. I don't want to be around for the disaster.

    Sanders is the strongest Democrat candidate - by far.

    The concept is unfounded and baseless. He doesn't hate himself.

    there is nothing difficult with it. I do not like either of them and have enough scruples and principles not to vote for people I am not comfortable with. I will however still vote, which leaves the third alternative that you are completely ignoring.

    To vote for Trump means that you would justify the ends to meet the demand with a win at any and all cost attitude.

    To vote for Sanders means that you would justify the ends to meet the demand with a win at any and all cost attitude.

    Both of these choices would make the United States look like Venezuela with Chavez as president. That is not a good thing. Trump is a buffoon and a fool if he is elected President while Sanders is naïve and ignorant when it comes to being president.

    who isn't naïve and ignorant when it comes to being president? who's done it before? does it come with instructions?

    I would vote for trump for economical reasons, but would never want him in charge of our military. Having to pick one, it would be Sanders. (I just threw up in my mouth a little!)

    Sanders.

    Because this man speaks rationally, and means what he says. He speaks with passion, and that's what this country needs. Feel The Bern.

    Trump is not part of the entrenched political establishment. Sanders is just another old professional Democrat pol.
    Even HRC can point that out to her advantage.
