Everybody vote.... then complain.
Although I prefer Sanders over Trump by far, I think the main reason people are going for Trump is that he isn't a politician.
Trump inherited $500 million and declared bankruptcy 4 times. That alone is enough reason to show he isn't fit to be president.
To me, Trump and Sanders are equally scary. I'd put one above the other by a smidge and that would be Trump. Yep. Hope it doesn't come to that.
I agree with what is said above that there are a lot of Republicans that don't like Trump. I'm upset at the distraction Trump has presented. I'm seriously surprised he's been taken seriously this long.
But maybe it is a show of people being fed up in general. I don't know. I really can't explain it. Little worrisome.
"Your characterization of $200000 as a golden parachute tells me more about you than it does Mrs. Bernie Sanders."
Te he, an elitist jab? You sound like a closet Trump supporter to me.
I'd call it murder and not a mass killing.
Your characterization of $200000 as a golden parachute tells me more about you than it does Mrs. Bernie Sanders.
I have no intention of disengaging. I will vote regardless of party for the candidate I think is best.
As to you opinion regarding Bernie's wife fleecing the Burlington college (and of course we know why she got the job in the first place)
by your reasoning it's bad to kill someone with a 45 cal gun, but it's OK if you do it with a .25 cal?
Big day in VT today, the governor gives his state of the state address this afternoon under the democratic majority controlled golden dome in Montpelier and later "Trumpnado" hit's Burlington this evening.

A $200,000 golden parachute? That's chump change in today's world.
I don't think I have ever heard a sum as low as 200 grand referred to as a "golden parachute".
Disengaging is no answer. It speaks to the powerlessness we all feel at times and we should resist that feeling and get more engaged. Life is a series of choices and they are not always easy and they are not always the best choices. I choose to act and make a choice.
There is no good candidate to choose from, so America will vote for someone they don't really like in hopes of keeping someone else they don't like out of office..... This isn't how its supposed to work. By doing this, you are making the problem bigger. You are saying you are okay with doing this and what the system has become. Congratulations to the voting public in this upcoming Presidential election!
"Bernie seems to be the only candidate running with integrity."
I guess if one chooses to ignore the $200,000 golden parachute his wife took from a university, which later had to declare bankruptcy as a direct result of her leadership decisions maybe you're right. And you can be sure Bernie was well aware of what was happening. He speaketh in forked tongue.
So bad behavior begets bad behavior....Or is it political correctness? Once upon a time this kind of behavior by a candidate would not have been tolerated one second....Now anything goes it seems and the more low down and dirty the better. haha...Watch the idiots vote the sorry arse into office. haha
The voice of reason.
"Sen. Joe Benning, R-Caledonia, took umbrage. Benning says he is “in no way a supporter of Donald Trump” but he urged the Vermont Workers’ Center to take the petition down because, he wrote, “your behavior is no better than Donald Trump’s.”
“Toleration of another person’s perceived foibles is the very essence of what it means to live in a ‘free’ society,” Benning said. “Your petition seeks to circumvent that. Indeed, it is just as deplorable a bullying tactic and intimidation technique as your organization practiced during Governor Shumlin’s address to the legislature last January.” (Vermont Workers’ Center protesters interrupted Gov. Peter Shumlin’s inauguration speech."
Bernie seems to be the only candidate running with integrity.
As for Trump, he's a loud mouth ego maniac who will say anything for attention.
I completely agree Mike, although Bernie is close second imo.
My point was Burlington VT is about as polar opposite Trump as you can get.
You can be sure of protests. (not in furry animals suits though, they recently passed a law banning them(ha,ha).
This is the higher income progressive, liberal enclave of the state. The "boiler room" for Bernie's socialist lunatics.
I know quite a few republicans that do not like him as well. In fact I think if anyone is upset about Trump it would be the establishment republicans. Dems are enjoying the show and secretly hoping he will get the nomination. hahaa
