Does This Political Cartoon Have It Right?

That could be read 2 ways....
1) Bernie & the Dems are going over the cliff.
2) The party is sending Bernie over the cliff.
It could be doubly right.

I think I would show a populist wave on a shoreline. The idea being the Democrats pushing Bernie towards a populist wave to see if he'll float.
The Democrats like to complain about Trump but they sure like to copy his campaign strategy.
Maybe this is good. Maybe this is showing the American public is finally getting fed up with the same old two parties.
Trump was the anti-establishment candidate for the right and Sanders is the anti-establishment candidate for the left.

I personnaly don't think it's accurate. From what info I have, Bernie Sanders is popular and is winning pretty every single polls against Trump. These are good signs that he is doing well going down a cliff. Bernie Sanders key promises like his "Medicaid for All" seems very popular in opinion polls despite its cost and difficulty. The Democratic Party establishment doesn't like him at all, but they certainly love his popularity with their base and even some independant who aren't hot on neoliberalism which Sanders has criticised and opposed a lot.
Can't rely on the polls. If you go up to someone and ask their opinion, they are happy to give it. Doesn't mean they will actually vote.

Polls can be used to assess the popularity and efficiency of a candidate's platform and campaign. It's not a perfect measure and they are sometime wrong, but they are miles better than gut feelings. From any info we can use to "divine" how well Sanders would be doing against Trump, he comes off ahead and sometimes even by a large margin. The caricature in the OP is more a statement of belief more than a clever rational insight.
And how old is emperor trump?

Hmmm...seems like someone is misreading the cartoon, either that or doesn't want to admit the cartoon could be right.

Yes, I believe so ... I suspect that Bernie Sanders will burn his supporters. Feel the burn ...
