Problem is they aren't always obvious, spending most of their time on DU and not being seen much in the real world.

The title clearly states that this is of the 2016 election. It is not a cartoon about September 2015.

It is predicting that Bernie and Donald will be the nominees with Bernie winning in a landslide. It also predicts that Hillary and JEB will be left out of the election but will still be the standard bearers for the centrists in their prospective parties.

This really is very simple.

None. None whatsoever.

And if you count Sanders' supporters in the cartoon you will see they are the exact number of people supporting him.

It's all about accurate facts, and not notions, or exaggerations for comic effect.

Good grief!

The lines for Trump and Bernie should merge inot one, i.e. showing the support for BOTH is coming from all of the people, with people only deciding between the two as the near the actual candidate. In many ways that is the situation with the supporters of Trump, many will defect NOT to the other GOP candidate in the General Election but Bernie. Bernie supporters are less likely to support Trump over Hillary but there are some who will.

Trump has gotten all of his supporters. Sanders is still unknown in many parts of the country and will only pick up more followers.

Bernie is about more than Love, though, he's about EQUALITY! And Justice. Not sure where he stands on freedom, but it follows from the other two....
