Yes. Then they both stay in race and there will not be a unified challenge to trump.

Surprised there is such a strong anti-Trump sentiment here.
I have yet to hear him say anything of substance. Even his supporters only support him because of what he isnt not because of what he is.
Im suprised so many people here actaully support him.

What it really boils down to is that Trump supporters are voting for him because of emotions (Anger, feeling like a "winner") rather than because of what he will or won't do.

I also lean towards the "burn it all down" camp emotionally, but i know that that won't change/help anything.

I lean that way too. Trump is not the guy to accomplish that.

John Adams actually tore in to Thomas Paine for this reason. Trump's burn it all down policy and slogans are pathetic.

My 21 year old cousin thinks trump is smart, this isnt a 5th grade bully fight.

Was LBJ, Nixon, Carter etc all presidential in how they acted and behaved ? why no.. but to counter that with 5th grade rhetoric and idiotic ego trips is lunacy!

There was a reason why the "founding fathers" were scared to leave the power to elect a president in the hands of the people. I guess this was it.

I agree 100%. I was just explaining where I think his supporters are coming from.

BTW no one has rationally approached the illegal immigrants debate.

The costs borne by illegal immigrants for say ER visits are balanced by a 6$ an hour laborer that is contrasted to a 15$ an hour unionized employee with all forms of workers comp, payroll taxes and expenses, insurance, legal liability's and on and on and on

Americans all too often squander their birthright, this is any thing from white privilege to black ghetto.

Free education, that the system of free education sucks is another debate... but the fact is that Americans have the opportunity to succeed, unless like me you never got a secular education ;) i'd say Chasidic kids are about as disadvantaged as a black kid in chicago ghetto but thats just my opinion

Trump and Sanders are sprouting a lot of smoke fire and bells and whistles and really no substance

I beg to differ. The fact that you didn't waste your time and brainpower on secular education, is a HUGE advantage. Weather or not you got good Torah learning, or you just had a school and teachers that only cared about getting you through, rather than making sure you grow as a Yid, is a totally different question.

Isn't that what politicians are supposed to do, especially during election cycles?

As for Sanders, I think he actually does have substance, the quality of that substance is highly questionable, but he seems like the most honest guy in this election cycle ער מיינט דאס, נעבאך, מיט אן אמת.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

+1 I find myself wishing that I could vote for him he is by far the most genuine candidate (at least he portrays that).  Too bad his ideas are so off from what I believe.

That should be what this election is about- he actually accomplished things instead of just talking about them
