vote for Trump. I can see that happening.

(2,212 posts)9. I agree.
And for exactly the reason the Young Turks hosts give:
This is an anti-establishment political climate. Trump would be able to say, "Look at Hillary. She's bought. But NO ONE has bought me because I don't need their money."
Add to that the simple truth that low-info voters will always prefer someone they perceive as a straight-shooter who talks his mind over a triangulating, hedging politician, and I think it's clear: Hillary would lose, and lose badly, to Trump.

Then they look at whole arenas filled with cheering crowds for Bernie....
Then they still want to run Jeb and Hillary.
