Trump vs. Sanders

It’s not unimaginable.

Something unexpected happens that causes Hillary Clinton to drop out of the race, and suddenly it’s Bernie Sanders for the Democrats.   Bush gets no traction.  Rubio stumbles badly in explaining his incoherent stand on immigration reform and under-developed ideas about tax reform,  and Ted Cruz is simply repellent.  Come to think of it, Fiorina is kind of repellent as well.  She is better prepared for the debates than the others (she actually knew the name of the head of the Republican Guard in Iran: Qassam Suleimani), but she has a dismal record at HP.

Ben Carson has no intention of winning the nomination.  He would find it as ridiculous as I would if he won.  He’s there to get $500 million worth of free advertising for his books and motivational speeches.  He is a one-man industry, selling the American myth that it doesn’t matter where you are born or what colour your skin is because if you work hard– like him– you can eventually become a world-famous surgeon and run for president.

Trump is also in it for the free advertising and is probably only willing to ride it out as long as he is in contention.

However, with the other candidates failing to make inroads, it is entirely possible that one of them could prevail and end up as the Republican nominee.

So it might be Trump or Carson against Bernie Sanders.

I would pay to attend those debates.
