Steve Bannon, chief executive of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and former White House strategist, has a warning for those who think it will be a godsend for President Trump to take on democratic socialist Bernie Sanders in a potential general election contest.
“No one should get cocky about this,” Bannon said during an extensive podcast interview on The Pod’s Honest Truth With David Brody. “There’s more tears shed for answered prayers than for unanswered.”
Of course, a Sanders nomination is by no means a foregone conclusion. The data shows that, at this point at least, he may fall short of a majority of delegates before the Democratic National Convention convenes in July. And if so…
“Michelle Obama could come in at the last second at the convention for a salvation of the Democratic Party,” Bannon said. “I think the Democrats will turn to anybody that thinks they can save their party.”
Even the 2016 Democratic nominee for president?
“Don't believe that Hillary Clinton's not in the wing,” Bannon states emphatically. “Hillary Clinton is waiting, she's getting the makeup on, getting the hair ready.”
Bernie Sanders doesn’t plan for any of that to be necessary. He’s poised to do well on Super Tuesday, when 1,617 delegates are at stake, nearly one-third of all delegates.
Looking ahead to a possible general election race, a new Quinnipiac University poll shows the democratic socialist narrowly leading Trump in two key Rust Belt states, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Not afraid of either one of them.
Neither has achieved a thing, and both are total morons.
We have been saying that for quite some time.
It is hard for me to believe Michelle would want the job. She can make cushy money and not have to do much. On the other hand, Barry is egotistical enough to want to accomplish something Clintons could not and no one else has before them.
And he was eLected.
TWICE.
“Neither has achieved a thing, and both are total morons.”
And as lacking as Hitlery is in that regard, WTH could the Mooch legitimately claim as expertise or achievements? Occasionally watching Barry play president?
I know some folks who feel the same way: either Hillary or a totally managed Michelle will “save” the party via the superdelegates.
That second Obama win was incredible, because the economy was still bad, gas was 4 bucks a gallon, the stench of Obamacare strong, and racism had been re-established as a national policy.
Only a guy like Romney or McLame could lose like that.
Hillary would absolutely love being "drafted".
Which is exactly why the bow ties selected them.
“a new Quinnipiac University poll shows”
I take anyone who quotes a Quinnipiac poll to be a Pollyanna, or to be someone who believes that the reader is one. Their job seems to be to form opinions, not to learn them.
If the Bernie bots perceived they’ve been screwed by the DNC again enough of them will be so damned angry they will not support the dem and this will be a problem for whomever the dnc designates.
It the numbers being tabulated at Trump rally’s of never voted and dems attending are true this will also negatively affect the dem candidate.
If the polling of Black and Latino Americans showing support for Trump is also true this is going to be a problem for the dems as well.
We are in a good position going into November. And, Trump is not one to take anything for granted. He will campaign just as hard this time as last time.
Yeah but Mike isn’t Barry, and Barry’s opponents were John McCain and Mitt Romney.
I just don’t see Michele doing it. Why? She lives like a queen and always will from now on. The world in general lavishes nothing but the best on her. I don’t see why she would do it. Yeah she could be President in name only with Barry doing most of the lifting but not always sometimes she would have to be the President so why give up the opulent cushy existence for the meat grinder?
Sanders is no less communistic than the other Democrat candidates, and two candidates just threw their votes to Biden. Biden is nothing other than a surrogate for Hillary, and too many establishment retards are secretly hoping for someone like them to be elected.
Bernie isn’t going to be the nominee. He wont win a state in the South.
I don’t think even when he was prez that Baraq did much of the lifting.
It was Axlegrease, Plouffy, Rhambo and ValJ aka the Chicago Political Mob.
All currently on speed dial for Moochelle.
Fixed it. Remember the President fired Bannon, then wrote a scathing letter explaining why.
As much as people want to talk about it, no one is looking at what has to happen for Hillary or Michelle to enter the race or win the nomination. So far neither has taken any action on it. If either of them got the nomination during the convention without having run for it, the Democrats will lose like they have never lost before and they know it.
