Bannon: Don't sleep on Sanders in November duel of disruptors. May see Michelle O or Hillary late bid to save D's from Bernie, says ex-Trump guru

Steve Bannon, chief executive of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and former White House strategist, has a warning for those who think it will be a godsend for President Trump to take on democratic socialist Bernie Sanders in a potential general election contest.

“No one should get cocky about this,” Bannon said during an extensive podcast interview on The Pod’s Honest Truth With David Brody. “There’s more tears shed for answered prayers than for unanswered.”

Of course, a Sanders nomination is by no means a foregone conclusion. The data shows that, at this point at least, he may fall short of a majority of delegates before the Democratic National Convention convenes in July. And if so…

“Michelle Obama could come in at the last second at the convention for a salvation of the Democratic Party,” Bannon said. “I think the Democrats will turn to anybody that thinks they can save their party.”

Even the 2016 Democratic nominee for president?

“Don't believe that Hillary Clinton's not in the wing,” Bannon states emphatically. “Hillary Clinton is waiting, she's getting the makeup on, getting the hair ready.”

Bernie Sanders doesn’t plan for any of that to be necessary. He’s poised to do well on Super Tuesday, when 1,617 delegates are at stake, nearly one-third of all delegates.

Looking ahead to a possible general election race, a new Quinnipiac University poll shows the democratic socialist narrowly leading Trump in two key Rust Belt states, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Steve Bannon is correct; Don’t think that the country “Will NEVER” elect an avowed Socialist to the presidency.

Every Demonrat elected President since 1912 has been a Socialist or Communist.

WTH could the Mooch legitimately claim as expertise or achievements

Forcing peasant children all over America to eat dried veggie burger paste for lunch while her own daughters ate gourmet French cuisine at Sidwell Friends School in DC?

That’s something.

If the Bernie bots perceived they’ve been screwed by the DNC again enough of them will be so damned angry they will not support the dem and this will be a problem for whomever the dnc designates.

Do the Bernie disciples hate the DNC or Trump more? And what if Bernie sells out again?

She’s got a diploma from Harvard Law.
That’s the gold standard for Wash DC.

“It is hard for me to believe Michelle would want the job.”

But Obama does.

If Bernie wins big on Super Tuesday, as predicted, he should have his campaign begin to leak to the media that he’s seriously considering choosing Michelle Obama as his running mate if he wins the nomination.

This will help Bernie win the Black vote. It will shake things up in Bernie’s favor among Democrats.

Bernie preaches socialism to get elected but once he does, he cozies up to wealthy businessmen.

> but can anyone decide at any time that they want to be President <

I’ll field that one. There are no laws that govern the primary process. It is left entirely up to the political parties to make their own rules.

Both parties have decided that the person with the majority of the primary delegates at the convention will automatically get the presidential nomination. But if no one gets a majority - as seems likely with the D’s - open voting is allowed starting with the second ballot.

So starting with the second ballot, delegates can vote for anyone they want...Michelle Obama, me, you, or even the guy who plays Big Bird on TV.

That’s a shocking statement. Some may say FDR was due to the implementation of Social Security and those Gov. job programs to provide busywork after the depression.

But these presidents at least provided the windowdressings of Democracy. Sanders won’t even bother to pretend.
Reporters have asked Bernie how will his big programs get paid for? In the recent past, he has said;
“I don’t really know right now.” He’s not too worried about that part. Liz Warren, almost the same story.

Yes, anyone at any time can decide to run. However, you have to qualify to be on each state’s ballot. And many states (if I recall correctly) will not count write-ins.

Chewbacca as a presidential candidate is pure delusion and fantasy. She has neither the intellect nor work ethic to be POTUS. She also hated being First Lady. All she wants to be is a jet-setter celebrity, Oprah 2.0.

Which I’m sure she worked very affirmatively to earn.

The Republicans better not get complacent.

Remember, Hillary was supposed to win so she didn’t work as hard as she could have and spent time with sure bet electors.

I refuse to believe Obama won that election. He cheated plain and simple.

That’s probably due to some kind of Russian memory-erasing ray. Those Rooskies are always trying to mess with the Democrat party.

Really.

So maybe his college records are sealed in the same way evidence of Bigfoot is sealed.

I agree that the Berniebots will not just vote Democrat if they believe he is cheated again; probably vote Green Party...
