Bernie gonna get bent over by the DNC again, and Nonno Giuseppe is going to die before Trump gets a chance to beat the brain damage out of him.

It's not the DNC, it's the voters saying NO to the least successful Jew of all time. The only reason his family survived the Holocaust is because the Nazis thought he wasn't Jewish due to their pathetic lack of success.

Some voters want him, while the corrupt DNC is spawning reasons weekly on why reality is not what it seems.

Honestly, I prefer Biden as Trump's general election opponent. Yes, Biden might in the end have a slightly better chance at defeating Trump than Sanders, but I dont think the difference is that big.
And I could live with a Biden presidency, while a Sanders presidency would be a total disaster in a lot of ways.

So the way I see it, from the perspective of a Trump supporter, a race against Sanders would entail a "tail risk": lower chance of materializing, but huge damage if it does.

What would a Bernie presidency even look like?

There's not even close to enough political support to pass his radical agenda, so where does that leave him?

In my ideal world it signals to Democrats that real liberalism has popular support so they can field some actual left wing candidates instead of corporate center right candidates.

Honestly pretty sad Pete is out now. No chance of some youth in the debates/race. Just old boomers who are one health crisis from death. Amy doesn't count, she's not in it to win it.

Wouldn't mind if all the people running (either side) who are ~70+ keeled over.

Butt is out but honestly these 'moderate' look like more Corp leeches than anything else.

what do you base that on? afaik, every head to head poll suggests the opposite. biden is a heavily flawed candidate (much like hillary was, though in different ways): his record leaves plenty of room to attack, he is a gaffe machine, and he's clearly mentally deteriorating. he doesn't excite or mobilise any new democratic voters, and is the embodiment of what america (somewhat surprisingly) rejected in the 2016 elections: the political establishment in washington.

i still don't get your support for that slimeball. literally the only thing he has objectively going for him is his age. his policies (the few one could even start to guess from his empty rhetoric) are of yesteryear, and his vision is non-existent. don't be sad though, he'll stick around for sure. the guy is so power hungry and focused, he will be donors' darling for decades to come, barring a true revolution of the whole corrupt system through a sanders presidency (which admittedly is rather unlikely). maybe he'll end up like paul ryan, but i wouldn't be surprised if he was lifted to the throne eventually, and you will have your young-ish corporate shill that you so desire for some reason...
