Who wouldn’t want to run against Trump? What I really want to say is the Axe ad makes me nostalgic for the psoriasis thing. Any chance of getting that back? We’re sorry if we didn’t appreciate it at the time.

Well, its more than obvious to me that any of the GOP candidates would prefer to run against Sanders. And saying that he’d prefer to run against Trump is like gifting a campaign slogan to Ted Cruz.

I’d win against Trump. Come on, Bernie. Compare yourself against the big boys in the contest.

This is just more recklessness to me. Yes, I understand the schadenfreude and the comedy that would ensue from a Trump nomination, but do we seriously want to put that man within a scandal, a heart attack, or whatever from the presidency?

I agree with Sanders’s ends, but just not with his means.

Why? Christie is way down in the polls.

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

It is pure political selfishness and overconfidence to wish to have Trump as the other party’s nominee. Too many campaigns have been destroyed by one gaffe or a swiftboating or illness to count on prevailing. It is too dangerous to have a candidate nominated for the Presidency who is willing to encourage his followers to beat people up and who denies global warming.

You are so right. The GOP really wants Sanders to get the Dem nomination.

How dare you tone police me, this is my safe space! You should have at least provided a trigger warning!

All kidding aside, of course you’re right. I will try harder to resist next time.

I’d rather see Trump run as a third party candidate.

So much for Bernie’s elegance, Josh.

Yeah, but who else from the clown car would you prefer? Cruz would be a nightmare. Rubio almost as bad. Never ever another Bush…

I just can’t believe the GOP is going to nominate anyone on that stage…

I didn’t realize Sanders had so much influence on the Republican nomination.

I was intrigued, however, to hear of Axe´s decisive role in female sexuality. The youngins don´t realize how easy they have it.

Cruz is right about one thing: Trump is losing it. Sanders too?

I have no doubt the feeling is very very mutual.
