I remember Tim initially laughed off his chances, then in later threads seemed to be reluctantly accepting that Trump could actually take office. Is this still the case?
VaderBomb wrote:Trump's such a fucking joker. Look at his face when he talks, he doesn't believe a single word that he says. He'll get the GOP nomination but his whole reason for existing in this race is so that the majority of the American population will vote for Hillary out of fear when she's up against him in the general election. This has been the plan since 2008 when Clinton lost to Obama.
A couple of problems with this plan are:
1.) They were not expecting Trump's success.
2.) They were planning this from the beginning to distract from the real anti-establishment candidate Bernie Sanders whom they were really not expecting to succeed so well. The American people are waking up to the corruption and are continuing to with a solid pace. Look at the Democracy Spring rallies in DC which are ignored by the mainstream media because people are disenfranchised by big money in politics and civil unrest. Look at the recently leaked Panama papers. This is the shit that Bernie has been exposing for decades and now that he's running for President, more people are listening.
If you listen closely to the way that Bernie talks, it's clear that he's taking his campaign all the way to November, despite the fact that Hillary, Bill and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and the bankers could potentially rig the Democratic nomination for the Clintons even if Sanders wins more states. Bernie has been winning all of the past few caucuses, primaries and has won every debate despite the way that the media fucks him every time. I am certain that come November, Bernie will run as a Democratic Socialist/Progressive and would clean up in a triple threat with those two goons Trump and Clinton (if her handlers like Goldman/Sachs and George Soros rig the dem-nom for her).

Also @VaderBomb, Bernie has already said he would not run independently if he loses the nomination.
VaderBomb wrote:He will, trust me. He doesn't want to scare off necessary democratic votes so he's looking towards getting the nomination, currently. If he gets fucked by the rigged system then I guarantee he will shift towards winning in November. He's already stated that he won't allow Hillary in his cabinet and that he'd chose someone progressive like Elizabeth Warren.
