i kind of hope that Trump does somehow win the republican nomination.
that'll outrage the conservative republicans enough that they'll just fail to turn out to vote. and without them, the loony religious right republicans and the loony gun-nut republicans and the loony would-be-libertarian-party-except-for-the-wasted-vote-problem republicans and the self-hating worker republicans etc don't have the numbers to elect a president.
You are assuming that there are many Republicans that meet your idea of conservatism as opposed to conservatism being defined as believing in whatever authoritarians tell them to believe. You are also assuming that the people who meet your definition will refrain from voting for Trump instead of just voting a conservative ticket.
of course, that assumes that Bernie fails to get the Democrat nomination. Conservatives would sit back and allow a white female servant of Wall Street to win before they'd allow the same for an old white male democratic socialist. What matters more than anything else is that Wall Street gets to continue doing WTFIW.
You forgot to mention that Bernie Sanders is Jewish. Many people claim that Obama is a Muslim (he is a Christian unlike Romney) and that he wasn't born in the US (he was unlike Ted Cruz and John McCain). Those people will immediately find some reason for hating Sanders that supposedly isn't related to him being Jewish. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
