I'm very curious to see how a Sanders vs Trump matchup will play out.

It's the worst possible outcome. Lose-lose for the establishment. They will do anything to avoid this. They already rigged the nomination once, they'll do it again.
It's going to be Bloomberg the Jew vs. Trump.

Lose-lose for the establishment.
Isn't it always? The days of JFK are long over.

They usually get win-win. Like Hillary vs. Jeb. Or Romney vs. Obama. Or Bush vs. Kerry. No matter who wins, they win. It's how they do business. But Trump ruined the whole thing, and now Sanders is threatening to completely upset the apple cart.

One crazy earns a crazy.
Trump is playing by a different set of rules. People like Bernie that appear are the other extreme to balance the swinging pendulum.
"Grab'em by the pussy." That would've sank Obama. Would've ended Jeb, Romney, but Bernie? His followers are so fanatic how do you think they would've reacted had he said the same thing? Most wouldn't care.
That's the insanity of the world we're living in right now. There's no going back.

No it wouldn't. Obama did so much worse shit than that and people still love him. He dropped 200,000 bombs killing and maiming tens of thousands of women and children. Remember when he bombed a Doctors Without Borders hospital and sent gunners in to kill the fleeing nurses and patients?

The attacks took place despite the fact that MSF had provided the GPS coordinates of the trauma hospital to the US Department of Defense, Afghan Ministry of Interior and Defense and US Army in Kabul as recently as Tuesday, 29 September. The attack continued for more than 30 minutes after we first informed Resolute Support and US military officials in Kabul and Washington that it was a hospital being hit.
Despite what the American media told you he was not well liked abroad. You will notice during his last term he would often not be greeted by a senior delegation when visiting foreign countries, this was due to the hospital bombing. One of the most shocking events of the 21st century.
And people still love him.

It was huge news...but Obama supporting media reported it quickly and it went away. In the conservative and foreign spheres, they wouldn't stop talking about it. It was outrageous. Conservatives because to them, the US military is honorable and doesn't bomb hospitals, and for foreigners, it was because it confirmed everything they already know about the evil baby-killing US military.
But OMG some locker room talk and the world goes apeshit. Shows how screwed up everyone's priorities are. One of "our" people mass murders, better not mention it. One of "them" makes an off-color comment and it means they're horrible people. Hell, Bill Clinton straight up raped a woman in the Oval Office and people still support his wife who threatened his rape victims. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgFha2zOsJk
