Democrats are worried that if he doesn’t win the party’s presidential nomination himself, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will be a thorn in the side of the Democratic nominee for president — especially if it’s former Vice President Joe Biden. The Democrats worry that Sanders won’t be a team player if he loses, and that he and his supporters will be particularly problematic if Biden or another rival seen as out of step with progressives comes out on top. “I think Bernie will do everything in his power to elevate himself by pushing others down,” said one aide to a Democratic senator.

A friend posited the idea of the democRAT candidate progression a few years ago.

Black —> Black Female —> Hispanic —Hispanic Female —> Homosexual.

Bernie is in it for the show, not to win.

It is easy to forget, but they despised Reagan and the younger Bush (and to a lesser extant, his father).

Sanders will fall into line behind Hillary again, and if he doesn’t he’ll get beaten up by her goons again, and that FBI probe into his wife will get re-opened and suddenly appear on the front pages of NYT and WaPo on a daily basis.

> Like what does he need Democrats for at this point?

He needs them to keep his dirtiest laundry a secret.

Sanders can be bribed. Hillary proved that.

For the right amount of money, Bernie would do anything, including his fat ugly wife.

the only thing missing from Bernie's campaign is a video of him running out onto the stoop of one of his mansions, yelling, "get off my lawn!" Of COURSE he's the spoiler. We was the spoiler last time, and if he lives to 2024, he'll be the spoiler NEXT time as well.

I did that in 2016, my small part in denying Hitlery a victory in the Michigan primary.

What’s changed is that Bernie’s price went up.

Sometimes I can look at Preview a dozen times
and still not find a typo until I hit Post.
There’s something magical about the Post button.
