I haven't figured out exactly what Trump is doing but I'm sure it's in no one's best interest but his own. The sad part is, I think that's true for everyone with the exception of Bernie Sanders who, unfortunately, is about as electable as a wet blanket.

As the late great Douglas Adams said, "anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."

Why is Bernie Sanders unelectable, as opposed to all of the Republican candidates? Just because that's the story the media tells?

Like I said in my other reply. I think he lacks the charisma, command, and authority necessary in a President and I think his handling of the OA 206 protesters at his Seattle Rally is pretty telling of how he'd flounder in that role.

Why is Bernie Sanders and exception to your rule?

Bernie Sanders has a long history as a public servant and advocate for the people. He doesn't have a legacy of corruption, self interest, exploitation, profiteering, deception or scandal that you find in all the other candidates. He tries to be a good steward of the tax payer's money from his walking to work instead of being driven in a limo, to his work on the Senate Budget Committee.
He doesn't strike me as having ulterior motives like every other candidate out there right now.
