Exactly, except for that nagging little detail of having been picked by the people.

Talk about your transparent denial. Not that I'm in any way feeling sorry for the Dems but, look at what they are struggling with this time. I mean, Shrillary or Bernie? No wonder they're still within spitting distance of each other. Bernie, (the consummate straw man candidate who was meant to barely make a feeble attempt to make it seem a little like a race instead of a coronation) is about as 'active' as a garden slug, the only reason you know if he's even alive is because of the slime trail he leaves behind. And Hillary is even worse, I have said for years that the Dems have become a regular zoo and the zoo keepers are just as strange.

I am not pulling for Trump or Hillary. It will be a blight on this nation's history if either of them become president. Anybody who thinks a Hillary or Trump win will be a reason to gloat, has a warped set of values.

Trump has won about 40 percent of Republican support so far. That is not exactly evidence that he has been "picked by the people." in Oregon, two-thirds of Republican voters supported him and he was running unopposed. That is not exactly a mandate.

The funny thing is, polls still show that the "garden slug" would top Trump in a general election match-up. It is hard for me to believe that an avowed socialist could be elected, but Sanders polls very well against Trump for a slug.
