Nobody is being unfair to Sanders, the fact is that Clinton has received
2.5 million more votes in total than Sanders.

The only way that could happen is if Trump wins and institutes a fascist
state that punishes his political rivals, but the betting markets only give
Trump a 26.1% chance of winning (it went down .4% since my last post).

All successful politicians are
demagogues

but 
Trump is crazy and I'd much rather give the nuclear launch codes to a
criminal than a madman. And criminal? Even Sanders thought calling the
Clinton E-Mail server business criminal was silly.

I'm
not a member of the party but I'm very
 libertarian
in my views, and

I know nothing about 

Gary Johnson
. That tells me the average person knows less than nothing about him and
the chances of him becoming president are about the same as me walking
through a brick wall by quantum tunneling; not zero but low, far too low
for the betting market to bother with.
