Whispers of a mass defection of Bernie Sanders supporters that might turn into an #anyonebutHillary moment in November have been circulating in recent weeks but were markedly intensified in recent days.
And now a still-active AOL poll has well over 40% of participants indicating they would consider voting for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton should Bernie Sanders not receive the Democrat Party nomination.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, if Trump can win the GOP's nomination I believe he should make Sanders his running mate.

Choosing Sanders as a running mate he would lose more supporters than he would gain.

As opposed to what? Picking some other person as a running mate? Picking no running mate? That statement doesn't make sense and someone starred it. LOL

I think thats backwards.
Trump (due to health reasons) will most likely give up running for office, a significant portion of Republican voters will switch to Hillary, after all shes a republican hawk in disguise.
Makes for good reality TV, anyways.

I am fairly certain Sanders despises Trump and would not be his Vice President under any circumstances.

So, what you are saying, is that people have no conviction anymore?
See, no one should be voting for ANY of the candidates, unless those candidates happen to have earned their vote. If someone was going to vote for Bernie, they should be ideologically incapable of giving a monster like Trump their vote. By the same measure, anyone who would like to set fire to the constitution, the freedom of the press, the equality and freedom that people have spent generations trying to secure, will be voting Trump, and should find themselves in opposition to a force for freedom and peace, such as Bernie.
In either case, voters should pick one, and vote for them, or not at all. There is no point picking between turds, as would be necessary in a Trump vs Clinton contest. It would be like choosing a vital organ to have fail, in that regardless, it is going to suck like a zero point energy vacuum cleaner.
In a speech at the National Defense University in Washington, Obama said his Jan. 21, 2009, executive order to close the prison was never implemented because House Republicans placed funding and legislative restrictions on moving suspected terrorists from the facility and blocked efforts to shut it down. But he didn’t mention his own administration’s missteps in not shutting down the prison in one year’s time, as he had promised.
“As president, I have tried to close Gitmo,” Obama said. “I transferred 67 detainees to other countries before Congress imposed restrictions to effectively prevent us from either transferring detainees to other countries, or imprisoning them in the United States. These restrictions make no sense.”

Than again he should despise hillary as she is everything he is against , but he will likely endorse her once she gets the nomination.
At least its an entertaining election year which is more than what the voters usually get anyways.
