I'm not a Trump supporter per se. I am supporting the Republican nominee; the nominee chosen by the voters.

I strongly disagree with Sanders being a more difficult candidate to beat than Clinton. It still surprises me that Sanders has given Clinton the difficulty that he has in the Democratic primary process. With all of her political prowess, and she can't manage to squish an admitted socialist? It shows how much support she has lost. With this email audit and scandal, I believe her support will diminish even faster now.

I understand supporting the nominee Granny and don't fault you for it. I understand that your intentions for it are moreso to vote against Hillary Clinton than anything, even if there are a few things you disagree with Donald Trump on. I certainly wouldn't fault anyone for that. Trump, yes, did win the popular vote which many of his supporters certainly like to trash talk with. There is no hope with the voters - this is a country that has elected Barack Obama two times, where Donald Trump has a legitimate shot at the presidency, a potentially-indicted Hillary Clinton will have a legitimate shot and a socialist just nipping at her heels in the primary.

The Republican Party would have been screwed either way. Go with the voters, you get Donald Trump. Go with the smoke-filled room, and you get Jeb Bush.

Relating to Bernie, I can understand from your perspective, Granny, about how crazy socialism is because you understand it. You've seen a lot on here of what I have said about cults and what Bernie's supporters have done at rallies. He has a cult-like following and although I don't know the exact number, if it weren't for the super delegates helping Hillary we would very likely be seeing him as the nominee.

Liberalism is an emotional thing. It has slowly led us down the path to destruction. Bernie has capitalized on the emotions of our youth and on many in the Democratic Party. The term "democratic" was added to socialism to give a good feel, instead of the word socialism that makes everybody cringe. In reality, both are the same thing. Unlike Hillary, Bernie is a fresh candidate that has no major scandals on his record to this point and he generates a passionate base that would likely expand should he make it to the general election.
