I agree with you, I’d just be careful- whatever you say about Trump he’s got some scarily powerful backing. As is always the case nowadays it won’t be about the best candidate, it’ll be about the most effective campaign.Sanders isn't that much older. I expect the usual 'communist' and 'Venezuela' retorts will be made but Bernie's had these come his way for years and he knows how to bat them off. It's especially worth watching the town hall he did with FOX last year. Despite the hosts doing their best he got loud rounds of applause fairly constantly. Similar happened in West Virginia which went heavily for Trump last time.
The hardest part by far is the nomination. Democrats seem hell bent on keeping him out

Which is again where I think Sanders is very well equipped. Trump is the king of charlatans and an incumbent, but what is clear is that a run of the mill corporate Democrat isn't going to do anything
No as we are net contributors to the EU and they are beneficiaries from the uk purse. We have a currency - they don’t
Sanders is a crank and most of his party laugh at him. He’s US own Jeremy Corbyn - adored by youth and mocked by the experienced - good luck
You have a point thereAre these the same experienced party grandees who lost to Trump in 2016, lost the Senate and lost a majority of governorships? The same ones who decided to go with impeachment even when they knew it would lose? They have been wrong and losing for years.
You have a point there
I wouldn't worry about age .Oh I’m on your side if it comes to who’s my favourite of the two, I’m referring to the tactics that are going to be employed, it will be ageist in the extreme for starters with the full firepower of the right behind Trump. But it would be a good step for the world if Sanders won. I can’t stand Biden.
Yes I agree, however the kings of spin will make sure Sanders’ age is highlighted way more than Trump’s, there will be talk about him being “senile” all over the place.I wouldn't worry about age .
After all Trump's going to run the place until he's 200 .Crank!!
Might find a the occasional anti - semetic trope fired as well .
He hasn't been afraid to throw the odd one at his own base.
It’s all a soap opera, the vast majority of focus on policies, candidates & plans has gone out the window, it’s a cult of personality backed up by vicious & all encompassing campaigns of lies & propaganda on social media, all designed to dissuade everyone from voting for the opposition.It's almost like Trump has invented himself like some Spandex wearing WWE underdog.
Leading USA against several other Spandex wearing archvilian WWE'ers
All obviously minus any Spandex
The use of media is genius.
It's all so unconventional I'm almost convinced their is a secret club of world leaders ,operating a carve up outside of the legislature .
I find the Korean stuff particularly like a stage managed soap opera.
Ready to fire up or down as and when required for promotion of leadership or toughness .
Bank balances will have improved for all involved at the end.
Anyway Dugdale will be along shortly, he’ll probably see the talk about Sanders in USA and think we’re talking about popcorn chicken
I love the boneless banquet.Maybe I can use G's 20 quid to get us all a bargain bucket after the election
I love the boneless banquet.
A bit too much, hence the need to go on a f*cking treadmill on a Thursday night when I could be watching You on Netflix
lol- yes, he is actually an internet stalker leading a double lifeIs that the 3 part series about the guy posting on a Cov forum from Germany?
I don't see him losing ,it's way beyond the Dems .It’s all a soap opera, the vast majority of focus on policies, candidates & plans has gone out the window, it’s a cult of personality backed up by vicious & all encompassing campaigns of lies & propaganda on social media, all designed to dissuade everyone from voting for the opposition.
That’s why although I would love someone like Sanders to win, Trump can’t be underestimated. At least that’s my own view anyway, I’m obviously not well placed to gauge the opinions of Americans themselves.
Like I said in the beginning, England is more & more right wing by the day.Meh they can really get away with anything
Tory MP escapes suspension for speaking at far-Right event
This actually links to another aspect of all this brexit stuff that nobody really has mentioned on here yet, the Russian involvement, which played a huge part. If you voted for brexit, you also voted to put millions & millions into the back pockets of people like Mogg, Banks and this idiot Kawczynski.
haha- "I" didn't see that.Mart did. Not joking...
Mart did. Not joking...
Grendel, your view- do you think any question of Russian involvement is just a conspiracy theory, or is there 'something' in itYes as he was mad
What was his actual username? I want to look up his posts.

Yep, nice easy distraction for the various remain / PV campaigns though and it makes the actors within them avoid any self reflection.I think blaming it on Putin is lazy and tedious

This is why I think Sanders has a problemSame for the 2016 Democrats but they're experienced experts so probably true in their case
I'd say its more than naive not to see what was/ is happening, its downright stupid. Evidence is everywhere & there was a great analysis on twitter by someone, I'll try to find it, he mapped the networks & it was crazy how many millions- and I mean millions- of accounts on various social media ended up in Russia. Then there is the money trail, and the most readily observable aspect of all, the infamous "Russia report" which Boris won't share.I think there’s definite Russian interference in elections and attempts to “capture” politicians. To deny that is beyond naive. I don’t think they can swing any particular event though.

Whoever gets it has to face up to the biggest social media & propaganda assault the world has ever seenHe has a bigger problem with the DNC working to get Pete Buttigieg the nomination
