Sure many feel they have been sold out. Doubt they will vote Trump but more likely not vote at all. Now up to Bernie to reduce damage and get his supporters to back Clinton. Nothing new here. Always happens during primaries. Someone wins and then the loser has to bring his supporters to support the winner. Hard job after convincing his supporters the winner was a piece if shit.

Substantively up to Hillary, I would think. Address their concerns. A non-vote works in Trump's favour.

That was the easy job.

Hillary's was a victory of the 'establishment' over the People. Trump's victory was the opposite. Interesting politics these days.

What does Bernie get for supporting her, VP ?

Maybe he accepts VISA. Or a ham would be nice.

His team should get offered some portfolio's- just as Obama graciously did after he defeated Hillary. I can think of no more substantive way to address the People's concerns, and bring them out to vote. There are a lot of them.

Cold cuts if he is lucky, but most likely stabbed in the back.

Doubt VP but sure he will get a decent cabinet post. He got some concessions in the Dem official platform which will be announced at the convention. Ones I heard are tuition free college for families making less than $125k per year, much higher federally mandated minimum wage, job creation via infrastructure investment, tax reform which would substantially increase tax on the upper 10% earners and large corporations, overturning Citizens United supreme court ruling and something related to banking related to what services can or cannot be done by specific banks.

Most of Bernie's campaign points. Enough to bring out majority of Bernie supporters? Time will tell but without a majority in both houses of Congress and a willingness by a Prez to actually keep the promises made in the platform, the platform means nothing no matter the party.

Americans now know that promises are easily conjured.
They , the politicians, with help from the media, know what they wanna hear.
And offer as sacrifice to straight talk,,,, fork tongue, to get what they want.

For this reason i believe Trump will now win the presidency.
And i'm gonna have to eat my grand-dad's ole hob-nail boots.

Well the 50's were an idyllic time*










*if you were a white male.

^That's racist.

Bollocks, I'm part-white!

Nonsense.
Anybody who thinks Trump's "victory" (approx. one third of the Rethuglican vote) was a victory of the people over the establishment doesn't understand Trump, (his appeal is built on demagogary and lies), or American politics.

That's a biggy. See the GOP has incorporated the wall into their platform. A real wall. Not some namby pamby pretend wall with cameras and motion sensors. Brick and mortor from coast to coast. Job done.

Americans are not the sharpest when it comes to geography but you'd think those huge bits of blue on either end of the wall might indicate a flaw in the grand plan.

Only you libtards can grasp the politics of lalaland, but here in the real world Trump got half the Republican votes out of a field of 17 and more than any Republican candidate in history, and with the biggest primary turnout ever I believe. It was yuuuuge. He is the people's champion, spending his own money to clean up the USA.

Shitlery otoh was rocked and damaged by an unknown senator, with an abysmal turnout.

should be thrilled. Almost forgot, building a wall that Mexico will pay for.

US politics in a nutshell. One party will let you have all the abortions you want but will take away your guns. The other will let you have all the guns you want, but not allow abortions.


The only other difference is now one party will control immigration and the other will focus on transgender bathrooms instead. It's the first time a meaningful choice has been presented to the American public. Let's see what they choose.

Gosh, that's a brilliant explanation. Did you graduate from Trump Uni?

And yet her vote total exceeded Trump's. People's champion my ass.

^ it's an incredible achievement considering he was in a field of 17 and never less than 3. She spent most of the campaign against one, who was allowed in as a can for her to crush and, in the beginning, was not even trying to win.

^Most of them were bozos on ego trips without a chance in hell.

^ however quite a few are not and were well known and well funded and serious from the get go. What he did was nothing short of incredible.

Na she's more likely to come right out and stab him in the front.

^let's hope so.
