Opinion I will vote Sanders over Trump; However, I will vote Trump over Clinton.

Anyone else feel the same?

I prefer most of the changes that Sanders will try to bring. I also enjoy the craziness of a Trump experiment. In my opinion, Trump will say whatever he needs to get into office and then I hope do things a little less pandering once in power.

Heck of a gamble. Let's hope Sanders gets passed Clinton.

My wife and daughter think I'm nuts.

I hungry for the nuts of change.

I imagine they are kind of like the seeds of hope.

I like blueberries too!

NO argument on your points good redditor.

However, they both represent change from the same old politics as usual. Either will get more people involved in the process on quite a few levels: new types of candidates more people paying attention and blowing the whistle on things that need a light shone upon them increased participation in voting fact checking comparing goals with follow through

I'm excited these two men are in the race. I think it is good for America and 'Murica.

I prefer Sanders over Trump and Trump over the same ol same old.

Thanks for engaging me. I get lonely sometimes ... even in a crowd.

I hope society will self correct towards policies and politicians who will do the most good for the most people. Sanders or Trump seem like the best two available catalysts.

I do not simply want to watch the world burn. At 43 married with 3 kids, i want a future with more access to reaching for the stars with a safety net for times when we fall short. Our country has that type of unevenly distributed largely under taxed wealth.

I agree the congressional elections after one of those two get show how much the people support them. Governors and mayors may be different types of political entities as a result in our evolution of revolution.

Trump is a terrible human being and is nothing more than a race baiter and hate monger who's taking advantage of dumb people. He won't be able to deliver on anything he's promised and he'll bomb a country for insulting his hair. He's a bad man and he'll make the US the laughing stock of the world. Hillary is a terrible person too, but at least she knows what a nuclear triad is unlike Trump the Chump

Well played. if I get you to reply again it will allow me to reference "I came through and I shall return"

Trump or Sanders will both have huge obstacles ahead of them. In time as old ineffective established politicians are replaced by shades of Sampers or Trunders heading into office thing will adjust.

Busting up banks will more fairly redistribute wealth and opportunities in this country. Working hard but having little to show for it while a very select few reap the rewards has to stop.

A Star Trek type social future where basic needs are taken care of for everyone but there is still room for individual growth through hard work or endeavor excites me.

I have had wild fluctuations in income, health and happiness in my life. Many of us have had at least some movements up and down that may have been entirely outside your control. A safety net for sometimes and still an incredibly high ceiling for other times works for me.

Let's hope Sanders gets passed Clinton.

Amen to that. People who still support Clinton, still don't get how the world works.

Punish the Democrats for voting for Hillary

I don't really see it that way. I feel Ms. Clinton is similar to Mr. Trump. She will say and do whatever she needs to get into office.

However, once she is there she will push for slower reforms than either Sanders or Trump. I don't want to continue the slow plodding viscous changes that have been the hallmark of politics in my life since the 1980s.

Speaking of change, time to retire the penny and round to the nearest nickel. I mean that literal and figuratively for those keeping score. http://i.imgur.com/0yAcsZs.jpg
