That's Entertainment

Spectacle. That's the name of the game.

[I]n the recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, Trump was the first choice of 27 percent of the Republican voters who responded. Given the weighted samples in this poll (38 percent identify as Republican or leaning Republican) this translates into Trump capturing the support of about 11 percent of American voters in total.

In the same poll, 37 percent of Democratic voters supported Democratic contender Bernie Sanders. Given the weighted samples (43 percent identify as Democrat or leaning Democrat) that translated into roughly 16 percent of all American voters.

Additionally, in a recent Quinnipiac poll, Sanders beat Trump in a head-to-head matchup – by an even larger margin than Hillary Clinton did.

But in terms of coverage by the mainstream media, Trump is besting Sanders 23 to 1, by some estimates.

But maybe what we need to know from this is that Hillary Clinton did beat Donald Trump.  Because Bernie Sanders isn't the Crowned Candidate in this game.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
