    You mean the Republicans will hire DNC advisers to teach them how to run a party?

    Crap thing is, I don't see a huge difference in how the parties are run. They're both shitty. The difference is that the DNC's more common-sense oriented platform makes their operation seem less shady and less anti-citizen than the GOP's us vs. them platform. When Hillary says "Look, I took all this money but it didn't hurt you" that might be defensible and nobody is upset when someone makes some innocent cash. When those assclowns say "Don't be a homosexual transgender underage minority but I totally fucked a homosexual transgender underage minority in my limo last night" it seems at least a little sketchy. I think they run their organizations about the same, it's just the surface of the DNC is more palatable than the surface of the GOP.

    I meant in the "Yes, we allow outsiders to the party, it's just that we won't ever let them feel welcomed!".
    acket.

    I don't think the difference is with how the party is run, but Sanders just has more sense and class than Trump.

    Sense and class aren't something that'll produce ratings.

    Anyway, probably in a few more years when the top .1% owns 99.9% of everything will Bernie Sanders' movement finally become unstoppable. We'll just have to let status quo work its magic...

    We'll either fix this democratically or eventually we'll fix it the French way.

    What about when Hillary says, "A bloody sectarian conflict in Syria would be good for Israel and its allies"? Or stealing from the Haiti relief fund?

    It's a choice between someone who says bad things and presents as an unpolished turd and someone who does bad things but presents as a fairly well polished turd.

    It's the smear campaign that worked to his advantage. People saw it as the establishment coming down on someone and the 'protect the underdog' mentality switch was flicked.

    Also, see above, throwing dirt at an unpolished turd is a waste of time.

    The truly sad part is, a vote for Shillary is a vote for war.

    But, a vote for Trump is a vote for the Apocalypse.
