The Latest: Sanders defiant about Democratic establishment

I find it amusing that the two leading “democrats” are Bernie Sanders (socialist), and Mike Bloomberg (totalitarian/establishment republican). How did democrat politicians fall so far that even democrat voters don’t like them any more?

Bernie should hold out for a whole island this time.

He should demand they kick Obama and the rest of the elites off Martha’s Vineyard—and give the whole island to him!

(If he read “The Art of The Deal” he would know that!)

The conventional wisdom is Bernie being on the ballot hurts us on the down ballot because it brings out the brain washed kids. I don’t think anyone really knows. It probably is safe to say if Bernie’s delusional base believes he got screwed again the rats are going to get a beat down.

Using movie plots as a logical progression, of what sanders just announced, start the office pool for the date and time, and just watch.

President Trump and ‘the deplorables’ took on the Republican Establishment, the deep state and the press. It has NOT been an easy ride. That’s one mean bunch.

I don’t agree with Bernie but I admire his attempt to take the thugs on... good luck guys.

Someone needs to take down the corrupt democrat establishment... it might as well be Bernie. The rest of the field doesn’t have the courage to even try...

(that said, take it from a deplorable - it’s a rough ride...)

Agree.

If Sanders gets too much traction and the DNC thinks they could lose a few “super delegate’s, the HRC-DNC will Seth Rich/McDougal/Ron Brown/Admiral Boorda/Vince Foster the Vermont sapling, and then attend his funeral with a thousand boxes of Kleenex for the cameras, and turn it into an Establishment socialist pep rally.

There’s no reason to be that “dramatic” !

I think they’ll just “discover” that Bernie is not a member of the Rat party and disqualify him. Find some suitable “half-baked “ leftist substitute like Pocahontas or just let Bloomberg have it. Maybe cut a deal with Bloomberg, he gets if writes a huge check for the “down ticket” candidates and pays his own way. Maybe even throw up their hands completely and let Hellary have another go. Actually a Bloomberg-Hellary (or Hellary-Bloomberg) ticket makes a lot of sense for them.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is lumping the “Democratic establishment” in with the corporate and Republican establishment and saying they can’t stop him.

I'm still not sure why the Dems let him in. He's not a Dem, he only becomes one every four years to run for President. He registers as an Independent. Why wouldn't they, from the beginning, just tell him "Sorry bud but you're not a Democrat so you can't run for the Dem ticket."? Then they wouldn't have had to worry about him attacking the Dem party, wouldn't have to worry bout finding ways to knock him off the ticket when he's the anarchists' front runner, they could easily have their Clinton/Bloomberg without all the drama.

Yep - but with all the hoo hah going on this tome around, it would/will be a much messier deal to stop him...can’t wait for the “bonus” 4th of July fireworks down the road...
