Discounting candidates for being "pale, male and stale" is NOT supporting "the best candidate who can oust Trump".

At the end of the day, the presidency isn’t about representation, it’s supposed to be about what’s best for the country and right now, what’s better for the world, so if an old white man is what the best option is, then so be it.

Mark my words, come back here in 2020 when Sanders loses and Trump is president again.

No, I think if Trump even makes it to the election, he'll have a hard time against anyone who isn't a complete idiot or **** up.

Trump used the corruption allegations and the russian email leaks to his advantage to cast doubt on Hillary and bring over a lot of moderate voters to his side but the weapons he used last time will be used against him and he won't be able to do his usual tricks to win over the moderates. His base will always vote for him but that's not enough to win an election especially considering that the polls show that he has lost a lot of support and that the moderates and middle ground voters that came out for him last time probably won't this time.

It's a ridiculous thing to count someone out, not because of their beliefs but because of their attributes. If Underscore knew what he was talking about, he'd realise that Bernie's stances and views would likely match up to his own. Bernie became a favourite of younger voters for a reason but Underscore seemingly refuses to acknowledge that because of Bernie's race, age and gender.

It's pretty damn clear cut and indicative of why I consider myself more centre than left leaning these days. Both the right and left are becoming extreme reflections of each other.
