Rush thinks there’s no chance the Democrats will nominate Bernie Sanders next year because it would be too crazy for them to do so.
But when have the Democrats NOT been crazy? Especially the Democrats of today, who, having lost numerous seats in Congress during the past few elections, are now made up almost completely of liberals with safe seats. There are almost no conservative Blue Dog Democrats left.
So why couldn’t Bernie get 51% of today’s Democrats to support him? He’s at 22% now, and every day he seems to add an extra percentage point.
Hillary’s current support among Democrats is at 45%, and it’s not likely to get any higher — particularly if Joe Biden enters the race and/or the Obama Justice Department continues to act like it could indict Hillary any day for her email offenses.
But even at 45% support, Hillary can’t win the nomination. Who can? We’ll have to wait until the Democratic Convention next year to find out, when the Clinton, Biden, and Sanders delegates will be at each other’s throats each group fighting to cobble together a majority.
At that point, the nomination will be worthless to either Hillary or Joe Biden, since if Bernie Sanders doesn’t win, he’ll pick up his considerable number of marbles and run as an Independent, making it impossible for the other two to win the presidency.
Ya’ll. We’re going to be SO exhausted from all this hoopla by the time an election rolls around that we won’t have the energy to get to the polls to vote. - I think I’m just gonna try to tune out, turn off and drop out until the election.
Clinton has the delegates. She doesn’t need the votes. Or that is the narrative at least. Neither party is in a good situation
