and their alternative is the guy they spent all last night kicking the crap out of...
One of them - Bloomie most likely, maybe Steyer, or even Bernie if they do screw him out of the nomination - is going to end up running as a 3rd party candidate. Any of those three have the money and motivation do to it - for Bernie and Bloomie, it’s their last rodeo, nobody is ever going to vote for for an 80-something for President.
If this happens, it will split the Democrat vote, even if they get Hillary out of the barn and saddle her up again the Bernie people will be out for blood and will Steyer and Bloomie really just go away quietly and deprive the world of their glorious “plans”?
A three-way race will give Trump a landslide and if the D party candidate comes in 3rd, how can you have a national party if you can only “show”? They will get killed on the downticket races too.
If Bernie doesn’t get the nomination, the radicals may just respond by showing up at election day, and voting Republican if the Dem incumbent is inadequately leftist.
The Left wants total control of the Dem party, by whatever means necessary
It happened in 1912...Democrat Wilson 1st, Bull Moose Teddy Roosevelt 2nd, Republican Taft 3rd...
