For this to work, Bernie would need to light seven candles in a Trump Hotel bathroom at midnight. This would be tough for Bernie because it&#8217;s past his bedtime, but we all have to make sacrifices for our country. Next, after lighting the candles, and turning off al other lights, Bernie would stare into the darkness and envision what he so desires. After doing this for four minutes, he would chant three times, \u201cPokemon Go to the Polls. Pokemon Go to the Polls. Pokemon Go to the Polls.\u201d If done correctly, the candles will go out, the room will go quiet, and a soft &#8220;WRONG&#8221; will emanate from the mirror. The next day we\u2019ll be seeing headlines about President Bernie\u2019s new tax plan, with no mention whatsoever of Donald Trump having ever existed. You may wonder what happened to him, but it\u2019s best not to think about.<\/p>\n<p>The Constitutional Loophole<br \/>\nSo, the other plans seem too outlandish? As journalists, it&#8217;s rude to insult our readers, but you\u2019re fucking wrong.<br \/>\nRegardless, if you\u2019re uncomfortable with our advice up until now, there is ONE other way to move him in, and it\u2019s fairly procedural. The elections are coming up, and if the Blue Wave pans out, it\u2019s likely that we&#8217;ll see a shift in which party controls Congress. If it turns out to lean Democratic, there\u2019s our opening. The Presidential line of succession has the first successor as the Vice President. However, the Speaker of the House is next in line, and there\u2019s our ticket. All we need to do is find a way to remove Trump and Pence from their respective offices. However, Student Legal Services tells us that we can&#8217;t advocate for the assassination of a sitting president. Next, we\u2019ll just pay off Democrats to have Bernie chosen as the new Speaker of the House, and then, Bernie will by procedure take the seat, with all the legitimacy of the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>But the most important part of this strategy is you. It&#8217;s critical that you vote this November because, without you, this plan can&#8217;t work. But we get it, it might seem like a lost cause for Bernie. In that case, it&#8217;s up to you to find your next favorite old white guy and cast your ballot for him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Jack\u00a0Peebis Bernie Sanders, millennials\u2019\u00a0 favorite, is in Bloomington today\u00a0to express his support for candidate Liz Watson.
