Why Republicans and Independents must help Joe Biden defeat Bernie Sanders...
[thefederalist.com]

If President Trump loses, the GOP can work with Biden and mitigate the damage. A Sanders presidency, however, would be a greater threat to liberty.

Americans should unite behind President Donald Trump and help the GOP take back the House of Representatives this fall. Until then, every available voter should do his or her part to ensure Joe Biden is the Democratic Party nominee. Allowing even a chance of Sen. Bernie Sanders becoming president is too dangerous to risk.

Some Republicans figure Sanders would be an easier opponent in a general election against Trump and root for his nomination. They may be right. Yet history is filled with cautionary tales of underestimated candidates humbling their faux champions from across the aisle.

There you have it. The choice is between a senile has been, who I doubt even knows what State he's in, and a commo. Of course in this scenario, voting for Trump is the only option left. The man has achieved more in 3 years as potus than the last two Presidents achieved in 16 years.

I'm not an expert on USA politics, but here's my 2c worth.

Sanders should not have been in the race. The fact that he's there points to dysfunction in the Democratic Party as well as a strong shift in its traditional core values. Sander's majority of vote would be from down-and-outers, that section of the poor that always become poorer.

Between Biden and Trump, Trumps, for me, is the lesser evil. Trump has shown that he can bring the bacon home while Biden as a 1st Term president will be swamped by every fringe cause and it's dog, eg. the LGBTQ (whatever) movement, gun control lobbyists (not that there is a case for attention here), but if he attempts a change to the 2nd Amendment, I foresee a bumpy 2020 - 2024 in the USA.Oh and don't forget the Climate alarmists. I cited only three groups, but we all know the myriad of left-wing drooly-mouth focus groups.

Biden will have to please way too many interests, he would be in danger of being a 2nd Jimmy carter.

Biden as Carter is probably the most apt analogy I've heard. The difference is Biden doesn't have ANY core principles left after 30+ years in politics.

Both of the Democratic candidates pose a clear and present danger to the Constitution. Biden says he's moderate, but defines moderation as every position radicals agitate for. Sanders says he's a democratic socialist but he vociferously defends every communist thug in the world. The Democrats need to be overwhelmingly defeated so their radical fever dreams will be shown to be disastrous.

"Allowing even a chance of Sen. Bernie Sanders becoming president is too dangerous to risk."

That, to me, is bordering on criminal negligence. There are a lot more fish to fry, such as Pedojoe or Killary, not to mention notorious bandits such as VICE president put-the-dick back in vice president Cheney, so this type of failure to actually report the facts that matter in the case is akin to littering, a crime unworthy of effort to defend in low scale cases.

There is plenty of danger associated with Mr. Trump wielding power on top of the dictatorship known as U.S.A. Inc. (LLC). Having instead Pedojoe or the Marxist Sanders in charge is arguably more dangerous, but only because those clowns would be demonstrably not in charge. Trump appears to be in charge, and the evidence of that fact that matters is abundant.

Bush II was a puppet of the Neo-cons, such as the already mentioned Dick.

Why can't Trump, in charge, nail Hillary as promised to the cross she created with all her crimes perpetrated with malice aforethought?

Trump is in charge of something that is evaporating.

The next puppet will have less power than Trump.

If regular people do not take it upon themselves (give themselves license) to reconstitute the law power in America, then America will evaporate one cut more, then another, then another, and that is because those who need to be in charge are - in a phrase - criminally negligent.

Democrats represent destruction of the Constitution. Republicans (real Republicans) protect and defend the Constitution. Can there be wiggle room in between? No.

Yeah ... Bull Shit ...
RINOs ... this is something a RINO would propose ...

Indeed. I don't for one minute think the GOP could work with Biden and vice versa.

I'm for Trump v Sanders because they're both assholes with real popular support and the largest part of the establishment hates them both.

I intensely dislike the “establishment”.

@Bay0Wulf, identify "establishment." You can't. And when you're faced with the flesh and bone of someone who you might think represents it and you get to know them, I bet you decide they're an "exception." Generalizations based on concepts, not reality, are useless. Marxism, for example, is full of them, and its "logic" is completely circular. Our Constitution is based on justice for the individual, and is based on the main truism that you can't fairly judge by group. Talk about what an individual did and then you're talking about reality.

@TimTuolomne
Actually ... when I was in 5th grade in Massachusetts I was taking a class, “Civics and Government” being taught by a serious Leftist teacher. This was just before the Nixon & McGovern election.
This teacher was seriously anti-Government and anti-Constitution ... in Massachusetts ... where we were taught EVERYTHING pertaining to the Revolutionary War.
Worse, in third grade I had discovered the Library ... the Reference Section ... and carried two well worn Library Cards.
I was also, oddly enough, friends with a bunch of “old guys” (turns out they were College Professors and other Professionals ... before “Liberal” was a thing) with whom I had long, in depth discussions about lots of things ... history among them. Weird. I was a kid but I held up my end of the conversations. My Mom frequently had to come down to the tavern to drag me home.

That teacher and I got into long, pointed arguments in the classroom as I pointed out that he LIED ... he told UNTRUTHS (and backed up my responses with quotes and paraphrases with attributions) ... One day I infuriated him so badly that he “punished” me by assigning me the chore of writing “Antidisestablismentarianism” 500 times.
The next day I chucked the papers on his desk. Assignment complete. The last page, I included the definition and the fact that he was right, I did ascribe to that thought process. Also, in one inch letters I pointed out that HE Was STILL Subversive COMMUNIST SCUM.

That was 5th Grade. I was 11.

That was then. I lived in the ONLY State that voted for that trash McGovern ... including my parents ... I was so embarrassed.

The “Establishment” THEN is 180 degrees from what the “Establishment” NOW is. I watched the change ... I lived the change ... I actually know what I speak of.

You write well and most of what I see you espouse I tend to agree with but ... you make a grave error and do yourself a disservice in trying to chide a person that you know nothing about as to the extent of their knowledge or ability to discern “Reality”.

FYI ... I GED’d out of High School with extremely high grades because we had moved to New Jersey and THESE “Teachers” were worse trash than most of the ones in Massachusetts. So ... I am largely self taught ... I am extremely well read ... I’ve taken several MOOCs ... I own dozens of Collegiate Grade Texts and Several College Courses on DVD ... the knowledge I acquire and extrapolate from these sources is interesting and valuable but I have become disappointed and discouraged as over the years, the outright bias of the “teachers” and “professors” becomes ever more apparent.

@Bay0Wulf, If you have had respectful discussions with others, then you know the difference between disagreement and condemnation. We disagree about the principle of condemning vacuous concepts vs holding individuals accountable for what they say. I did not condemn you. If you believe in condemnation of a thing, more power to you.
