This election is like the movie Rudy if the coach never put Rudy in, and instead kept an injured player and they lost to the other team(1/2)
thevoidedbridge
But the other team is Trump/Republicans, the injured player is Hilary, the coach is the DNC, Rudy is Bernie and we are the crowd chanting.

If Trump picked Bernie as his VP I'd bet we would have seen him get over 75% of the popular vote.

I don't think he would have won either. Trump would have labeled him a "Washington insider" "intellectual elitist" just the same as Hillary

The Dems rigged it to nominate the one person who everyone disliked, that one person who could lose it all to Trump...

Nothing was "rigged," Captain Hyperbole. This kind of over-the-top nonsense is how Trump got elected.

Everyone has the ability to become a member of the democratic party to vote who will rep. them as pres. candidate. Blame those who didn't.

The Democratic primary was very very rigged.

Just like Bernie, maybe ya'll should've went out to vote for him. You would think US would've learned when Bernie wasn't chosen.

The Democratic primary was far from Democratic. I almost didn't vote for our Dem Senator because that bastard sold out to Hillary.

When he was campaigning I knew he wouldn't make it simply because I knew it would be too good to be true because we can't help ourselves.

Trump should give Bernie a spot in his cabinet. It would be the best step towards proving that he wants to be a president for all Americans.

vehemently representing many things bernie is against, he's not going to endorse trump's candidacy just because an olive branch was extended

However, since winning, Bernie has shown that he's more than willing to work with him, even if trump wasn't his preferred candidate.

I don't think Trump will respond in any way significant, though. Extending the olive branch to bernie and his supporters was a gamble for

Literally takes 20 mins to fill in the form. Bernie went through all the hoops to run as a dem. This to me seems like a shitty excuse
Adualion
It's not that shitty tbh. If either party wanted a candidate that did well with Independents then they would open primaries up to everyone.
Adualion
Also on that note, Dems shouldn't bitch if independents favored trump or a 3rd party because they liked Bernie more than Clinton.

As an NFL fan, have you taken into consideration that the Cowboys have had the easiest schedule of 2016? Even Tebow would be 8-1
Grubenwolf
shush.
grammarfairy
Romo has only had 1 better stretch of 8 games in his career than Dak over his last 8. He's not JUST good for a rookie. He's good for a pro.
rollercostarican
As a giants fan, Dak is the future, but i am more afraid to face Romo in the playoffs
pookieeatworld
Dak has one of the best offenses surrounding him, and is in a system that fits him perfectly. Even if Homo gets healthy, they won't start ~
pookieeatworld
him because it would be an adjustment for the offense.
adultswim74
As a huge MSU fan who watched Dak grow throughout his college career, I can confirm that he was a star athlete long before the Cowboys...
grammarfairy
It was the spread system and the character issues that counted against him. Neither turned out to really be true at all.
adultswim74
With a lot of hard work and Romo down, Dak was able to show why he was Heisman material all the way. If josh would have stayed 1 more yr...

When Bernie and Trump both had the same views on unfair trade, Trump is just an asshole with an idiotic and impossibly expensive wall.

The wall is dumb, but it would be an impressively scaled project if it were attempted. Something for the history books, I guess.
Akran
I can't say for sure if Bernie would've beaten Trump, but he would've certainly done better than Clinton in the Midwest

PA isnt a blue state, at all. Only 3 maybe 4 counties are. Pittsburgh, philly, scranton and semi harrisburg. Yeah trump woulda still won.

Do you have any idea how many steel mills closed during Obama's 8 years? We also have big healthcare industry that has suffered badly.
GavinScreaming
I know. Bernie's platform was similar to Trump's in that he was promising to bring back jobs though. Same reason the Rust Belt liked him.

Not as many compared to ~99-01 under Clinton. It's just been steady now. Hard to fight economic globalization.

He compromised with McCain on the VA bill, so what gives you that idea? He just starts from the far left in bargaining.
FullCrimsonic
Thing is, he has to negotiate with republicans. If he takes a far left wing position. He has the option to get something in the middle.
Rapola
Wishful thinking - Obama took some pretty right leaning positions and still got 0 compromise from the republicans.
FullCrimsonic
Wishful? Eh.. Maybe, Bernie could play cut throat politics and primary ppl who don't vote with him. Hes popular enough to do that.
FullCrimsonic
That being said, Obama could of done that with single payer healthcare, he had a supermajority. But he sucked at fighting and buckled.

Popular enough would have meant getting enough votes in the primary and unseating Clinton (like obama did in 08) 1/2

little too much are either penalized, or are fucked and on their own. Someone that is poorer can enjoy a better quality of life through

I would say Bernie's the yin and Trump's the yang.

Yin is traditionally the negative or dark and yang is positive and light.
