Or for Trump.
They will run their own ticket.

No, but the 1984 landslide might.

“1972 landslide will not happen again”

I agree also. This is not the same country. The Rats states are Rat states by big margins. It is a truly divided country and landslides are a thing of the past. Even if they nominate Bernie.

No, the Bernie Sanders crowd would believe he was Epsteined and run their own ticket.

The only way that there is not a socialist candidate on the general ballot in November is if Bernie Sanders is the Democratic nominee.

I don’t think Bernie Sanders will be the Democrat nominee, and I do believe that every single vote he gets will be one that the Democrat nominee would otherwise have gotten.

Bloomberg-Klobuchar is a very strong ticket

I agree. But will the Dem base, who have moved strongly left in the last 10 years?

Bloomberg will face massive fallout from his “throw them up against the wall” comments. Just wait for the debates. It might very well cost him the nom.

I don't believe Bloomberg will lower himself to participate in the clown show.

Trump could pull it off because he was an entertainer in another life. Bloomberg is not and he won't try.

The "debates" lower everybody who partakes in them, anybody who agrees to be put on display in a forum moderated by the scum of the earth is unqualified for high office. Trump, as I said, is the exception that proves the rule.

“ The Rats states are Rat states by big margins.”

On the flip side you are seeing many states becoming much more Republican. We are in the middle of a massive political realignment and states are going to choose sides.

We can only hope and pray this is the case. Trump’s primary numbers in NH were RIDICULOUS.

Bloomberg-Klobuchar is a very strong ticket, and it’s virtually a done deal after last night.

And just how do you figure that? Bloomberg hasn't won anything yet. And neither has Klobuchar.

An old Communist, a young sodomite, a fake Indian, and a creepy senile dog-faced pony soldier walk into a bar, and the bartender says, “What is this, some kind of a joke?” And they say, “No, it’s a Democratic primary.”

This is not America circa 1972. America’s demographics is truly “fundamentally” changed for the worse.

The writer doesn’t even explain what happened in 1972. Far left took over Democratic nomination and lost to Richard Nixon who won 49 state landslide after slim victory in 1968. Despite the title, the writer doesn’t develop the comparison.
