It’s almost over for Hillary: This election is a mass insurrection against a rigged system

It’s almost over for Hillary: This election is a mass insurrection against a rigged system

Sanders has ended the coronation and fired up the grass roots. Now Clinton's electability argument is crumbling too

Bill Curry

It would be hard to overstate what Bernie Sanders has already achieved in his campaign for president, or the obstacles he’s had to surmount in order to achieve it. Not only has he turned a planned Hillary Clinton coronation into an exercise in grass-roots democracy, he’s reset the terms of the debate. We are edging closer to the national conversation we so desperately need to have. If we get there, all credit goes to Bernie.

Many of those obstacles were put in place by Democratic national party chair and Clinton apparatchik Deborah Wasserman Schultz. Without pretense of due process, Schultz slashed the number of 2016 debates to six, down from 26 in 2008, and scheduled as many as she could on weekends when she figured no one would be watching. To deprive would-be challengers of free exposure, Schultz robbed voters of free and open debate and ceded the spotlight to the dark vaudeville of the Republicans. That Sanders got this far in spite of her is a miracle in itself.

Sanders got bagged again in Iowa, this time by a state party chair, one Andrea McGuire. Like Schultz, McGuire’s specialty is high-dollar fund raising, and like Schultz she was deeply involved in Clinton’s 2008 campaign. Under the esoteric rules of the Iowa Democratic caucuses, and after a string of lucky coin tosses, Clinton eked out a 700.52 to 696.86 margin, not in votes cast but in a mysterious commodity known as “delegate equivalents.”

We’re electing a president, not the senior warden of a Mason’s lodge.

Mentioned in the article is that Bernie Sanders most likely won the popular vote in Iowa but it is reported instead that Shrillary won by 700-696 "SDEs" - whatever the hell that means. But some of those were won on "coin tosses" so who know who even won the SDE's.

In any case, it looks like Shrillary is headed for a decisive defeat in NH and while many here figure Bernie has no legs after NH and that it will be a Shrillary cakewalk after that, think again. Bernie is rapidly building a grassroots coalition across the country and as incredible as it seems, he is in decent shape to win the nomination.

Think about how destructive the Clintons have been to this country. Not only did we get 8 years of Bill Clinton, but in exchange for Shrillary to cover for him on the bimbo scandals, we had her foisted upon us as the selected nominee of 2008, resulting in two terms of Barack Obama. Now history is about to repeat itself with an out-and-out socialist like Bernie Sanders. All because the Democrat Party feels that Shrillary must get her turn at all costs.

The Democrat Party has spent decades pitting ignorant youth against people who work hard and create wealth. Now they realize they can’t control the monster they have created.

The problem for libs is that their raging against the “establishment” (white Republicans and their businesses) has now come back to haunt them. They’ve spent decades sowing distrust and discontent, and now Hillary is the epitome of both for them.

When Spain’s socialists armed the anarchist mobs in 1936 to fight the Army rebellion, they understood that they were ceding control of the government to them because they would never turn over their freedom to EITHER SIDE (leftist government or conservative military junta) - and they were right. A year later the government used communist troops to eradicate what was left of the anarchist units in the “May Days”; they preferred to lose the war than to ever really concede any freedom to them.

“This will be almost too easy”

If Sanders can make the election about single payer only, he will win.

I think this is unlikely. But he could make it happen.

Hillary must be having a meltdown with this crap happening to her twice in a row. If it wasn’t so sad for the country it would be funny that Sanders is snaking her like Obama did.
