Only Biden would win easily. The notion Bernie flies through is utterly laughable, especially when things like the President of Venezuela calling Bernie his "revolutionary friend" like he did this week happen. That's a catastrophic endorsement obviously given the state of Venezuela, and obviously one of the easiest campaign ads ever made for the GOP. Bernie is popular now, but after the GOP pumps $100 million+ into making him look anti-American? We'll see, but his numbers will go south, just a matter of how far south.

Plus the idea that some people use as a basis for voting Trump, that essentially any change would automatically be for the better. Jesus on a stick, how naive can people be...

Well it's a semantics game. Trump will have the stacked deck on his side almost certainly, with GOP control of the House and Senate to go with his Presidency. So he'll be able to get things done (whether they are good things is another question). Bernie will be going against that on the other hand, and since he's 74 years old they will obstruct him for 4 years and then send him into retirement and take the White House back because a 78 year old who did nothing in his first term is not getting re-elected. GOP has the game rigged everywhere but for the White House, so the fact they keep pumping up terrible candidates almost doesn't matter because they have the backup options of controlling everything else.
