    Ugh, they’ll put up anyone to keep Bernie from being the nominee.

      If Saunders were nominated, and won in 2028, he would be 90 years old at the end of his term. Statistically, he would die before the next election. Y’all need to get rid of your old man fetish in politics.

    Vader. We know from the sacred textes that there was some good in him. Trump shows no evidence of that.

    Vader worked for the Empire, he was efficient.

    He hired some iffy contractors for the death star, but he never shit his pants once.

      he never shit his pants once

      Are you sure? Does he climb out of that suit every time he needs to go to the bathroom? Is there a Wookiepedia entry on Vader’s bathroom habits?

    Darth Vader was more sensible, had some humanity left in him and cared for things other than himself. And he altered the deal only once.

    Donald Trump does it every time he takes a shit.

    Darth Vader because as evil as he is, he’s at least consistent and actually believes what he says.

    Trump just believes whatever the last person who talked to him said or paid him enough to believe.

    I would certainly vote for darth vader as he is as fictional as this scenario. I would vote lex luthor in the primaries though.
