The Donald vs. The Bern -- You can't trump that

would be every political reporter's dream -- although it might be a nightmare for everybody else.

Talk about the odd couple. It is the possible presidential campaign matchup between capitalist Donald Trump, 69, and socialist Bernie Sanders, 74. It could be the fight of the century.

It would be much better than a Donald Trump/ Hillary Clinton contest, for sure, because no one is exactly sure what Hillary stands for. She may not even get to the starting gate, if the FBI gets its way

Why yes, if you are ignorant of any fact, the generalities between the two seem spot on.

The only thing to matter less than facts to the Trump fanboys is his liberal history.

Both Trump and Sanders have pointed to endemic corruption in the Washington establishment and how the globalist agenda harms America. Even Cruz has said that Sanders makes some good points.

The real issue (and the critical difference) is the proposed solution. Both see that we're in a hole but Sanders wants to reach for a shovel to try to move the dirt around while Trump and Cruz talk about ladders. If you get beyond the rancor, the main difference between Trump and Cruz is how do you best deploy and climb the ladder out of the hole the country is in.

It's why Trump/Cruz made so much sense originally, even if that seems a distant dream at this point.

And that’s exactly the point. He takes a generic description of Sanders for a description of himself — showing how little difference there is.

When I watched the video, I knew right away which candidate she was describing.
