    You know, almost feels intentional. Would not surprise me, for sure. I can totally imagine that jackass thinking better for him to hand the reigns to Trump than to some dirty socialist like Bernie.

      Left wing populists threaten the oligarchs. Right wing populists don’t. It’s really that simple. The Democratic establishment straight up prefers Trump to Bernie.

        Trump is an idiot who looks good to run against. When Trump was gaining ground, donations went up. When Roe v. Wade was abolished, donations went up.

        Why have a candidate who wants to help people and can defeat Trump when the money keeps pouring in so you can leave the country if he ever gets “too much”.

      Almost certainly. The Dems in power aren’t worried about a second Trump administration. If anything, they’re excited for it. What terrifies them is the idea of a third party, progressive candidate getting office.

        If Trump just wants to hurt more people that the Dems are, they would stay in office with security or leave the country.

        Trump’s victims of the lower class aren’t able to have such luxury. No one cares but the victims.
