it will indeed be used as a political tool during the next election to institute "socialist" politics. Bernie Sanders here we come. lol.

I'm not so certain. The script for Trump was a variation of the Germany script that swept Hitler into power as he promised to fix very real grievances, something many aren't taught as they prefer us throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

I'm guessing if they don't rig it for his script to win, they have groomed Tulsi Gabbard to be the saner replacement that can pull off enough independent voters and those on the right who aren't a fan of the way Trump dramatizes things often in vulgar ways. There was a time when many Democrats were more balanced than those on the right are now, and that has left many on what is called the left feeling they were abandoned by their party. She has the potential to do what Trump did last time, leaving many of the extremists to their hero.
