But for real I agree with you. I really doubt Trump gets the GOP nomination and it seems to be a lot closer between Hildog and Sanders than the polls would have us believe. With that said, if it ended up being Trump vs Hildog I will either be voting for a 3rd party or possibly not voting at all.
I view it this way. Cruz is unelectable at the national level. People have called Hillary unlikeable, compared to Cruz she's positively affable. Outside of the hard edge of the right wing Cruz has zero appeal. He's not even liked within his own party or among his colleagues. Sander is also unelectable at the national level. His age is one reason, albeit a lesser one, but his being an avowed socialist will absolutely get him slaughtered in a national election. To a very large percentage of the American people there is no dirtier word for a politician than socialist. IMO an atheist has a better chance of being elected POTUS than a socialist. Sanders' only chance is if Cruz is his opponent and I view that as by far the least likely of the four current outcomes.
Trump vs. Sanders = President Trump
Hillary vs. Trump = President Clinton
Cruz vs. Hillary = President Clinton
Sanders vs. Cruz = President Sanders
I am adamant that if Sanders is the nominee against Trump that Trump will absolutely bury him.
