I'm Canadian and I want Trump to win because it provides great entertainment for us. Nothing over-the-top happens here so our news are usually about some local stuff and whatever the fuck you guys are doing. Be it politics or shootings or war or scandals.

I'm just curious to see what would happen.

Thankfully most of Sander's supporters aren't eligible to vote.


...I saw a stat this morning that shows Sanders has over 80% of the 18-24 year old demographic vs Clinton . Some here might remember that I have always called for raising the voting age to 25 and this is partly why ...new voters tend to vote fads instead of policies .

How do you know it's a fad and not legitimate policies?

The Sanders support is generally from the white middle class Democrat voters. The Clintons have been helping blacks in America for 30 years though and that will turn into big votes.

It's not like Sanders hasn't been helping blacks.

Guy was even involved in the Civil Rights movement.

Bill was America's first black president. That means something. Go into any barber shop in the hood, and you will see JFK, MLK, Malcom X, and Bill Clinton pictured on the walls.

...because it's been happening my entire lifetime . I'm willing to bet that of the 14 votes for Sanders in this poll so far you'd be lucky to find 2 of those 14 who can actually expound on a single positional stance of his other than his support of decriminalized marijuana for recreational use .

better to vote for a fad than to vote for tax cuts for the top and cuts to government funding for yourself by supporting whichever republican candidate expresses the greatest amount of hatred for gays and minorities
