re: #88 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Trump was able to sell himself as the ultimate outsider, the anti-politician and the protest vote for all those tired of politicians and politics as usual.

Bernie is an outsider to the Democratic Party, but he is a career politician.

I think he has a solid base of support but there are also a lot of people in the USA and abroad who are simply pulling the Machiavellian trick of supporting the opposition nominee they perceive as the least likely to defeat Trump.

And they may be wrong. A lot of experts were wrong about Trump’s chances. The GOP has been crying “socialism” so much, the word has lost its power to scare a lot of voters; the GOP has made it sound pretty good to young voters.
