Pretty smart actually. He is doing a Trump from the left. His problem is he is dealing with the DNC. They are not like the GOPe. They are a pack of ruthless, no rules thugs. Unlike the GOP they will see to it Bernie loses if they decide too. The GOP tried to work withing the electoral framework to stop Trump. The rats laugh at such “impediments”.
Good comparison. The R’s also had at least one credible alternative in Ted Cruz, and he gave Trump a good run. The D’s have no one who is any safer or saner than Bernie.
Until Cankles makes her grand entrance at the convention...
If he doesn’t watch it, he’s going to have another “heart attack.” The DNC is perfectly capable of it.
Political parties are private organizations, the DNC since they run the show could turn around and just say ‘these two (Not Sanders!) are our Prez & VP candidates’. The rank & file wouldn’t like it, the ‘hand picked’ nominees would get shellacked but that’s likely to happen anyway. What’s got to be saved is ‘down ticket’. Letting Bernie have the prize would that help or hurt ‘down ticket’? I don’t know!
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.
