Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumAs much as I've been for Bernie, I can't deny the following...
- If Trump wins, I and many others may lose the ACA, and I'll likely lose access to health insurance again.
- If Trump wins, old style racism may become popular again, general discrimination will become popular again (and maybe even death or a serious receding of the social liberalism movement.) As a minority, that is a serious issue to me.
- If Trump wins, I'll have to fear the Supreme Court going back to right wing control
As much as I have serious problems with Hillary, I have a lot to lose with a Trump presidency.

(36,063 posts)Trump may well be the least prepared presidential candidate ever to run as a republican, but he's no more dangerous or scary than any poorly prepared candidate
If elected, which seems doubtful, he'll end up dependent upon advisors and because he doesn't even have an awareness of advisors he'll depend on advice to seat a cabinet and senior WH staff. He's gonna end up with mostly the same advisors and advice aas any r would have and end up with action plans in much the same way he put together a list of potential SCOTUS nominees
