Regardless of Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi's titles—and to the comical dismay of corporate, establishment Democrats—Bernie Sanders has become the defacto leader of the Democratic Party.
Sunday in Warren, Michigan put an exclamation point on the sentence, as Sanders, alongside Schumer, brought out 8,000 people on a bitterly cold winter day to fight against Obamacare repeal.
Even the establishment media is waking up—granted a year too late.
"That's the future of the Democratic Party," Joe Scarborough, echoing Mika Brzezinski's sentiment, said on Morning Joe Monday. "He sounds just as relevant today as he did a year ago."
So, as the mainstream media opportunistically tries to Feel The Bern after ignoring Sanders when it mattered (both CNN and MSNBC recently held primetime town halls with him), you know who's become less relevant?
Senator Elizabeth Warren. . .
SNIP
But if Sanders decides against running in four years, Warren—in a political climate with a jarring scarcity of true progressive leaders—could have a chance to climb back up the progressive ranks and possibly serve as the movement's best chance to finally take the White House. . .

“How does an INDEPENDENT have any status with an organization he doesn’t belong to? Am I missing something?”
I’ve wondered the same months ago.
Some of them realized that after the election results came in, but their left wing managed to push Pelosi back into power.
Haha! Did you watch Don Tullippso?
Zuckerberg was backing Black Lives Matter at Facebook’s corporate headquarters, and Facebook has been running experiments on using social media to manipulate public opinion and emotions. I could see him seeking a puppet dictator to install with his financial backing. Sessions should seriously investigate what he’s been up to.
Thanks for the link!—interesting read. Trump did steal some of their thunder in that way.
She would twist herself into fits trying to debate Trump.
Speculative speculation to get some words on a page inorder to get a paycheck
Barack Obama is the leader of the Democrat Party
That is what I see as most likely—someone like that trying to take control of the movement Sanders started and harness it to the Democratic Party machine.
I thought he was already running it. . .
I’m glad I hadn’t eaten recently before reading that one. . .
Yes, Obama has no plans to relinquish any more power than he is forced to. He and the Clintons are like weeds that will continue to fester until permanently uprooted.
Heh! For quite awhile in this thread I thought everybody was hyping Peyton Manning’s li’l sister, Chelsea.
“Sounds like you’ve been watching pretty closely! Hillary gave Castro a pretty glowing review during the VP considerations, he is surely on the short list for her faction of the party.”
Until he was scandal’d out of running for office.
I don’t think a white person, no matter how liberal, can currently be a “darling” of the left.
Last night (1/17/17) Burnie, the Commie held a conference call with 800 of his supporters. Various people asked questions which were answered by the Burn hisself - usually by self-serving platitudes and ‘words of wisdom’. At the end listeners who had not been able to ask question were invited to leave a voice mail question which Burnie would answer.
At this point, the only sort person the left could form around would be someone charismatic with a strong authoritarian streak.
This person will call for the elimination of certain people by whatever means is at hand. This person will freely dictate how others should live, believe, and behave. His/her supporters will fall in line and begin to act out the person’s platform. Civil unrest will be the least of the worries for most people as JIT food supply is sabotaged for the cause of harming corporate farmers who are polluting the land and food supply with vile chemicals. Hacking of civil infrastructure will become common place with power and water intermittent.
This group of paid extreme far leftists will attempt to finish the job that Clinton began and 0bama implemented. Much of this will take place after DJT leaves office because the public will be dissatisfied with his poor performance as portrayed by the MSN and obstructed at ever turn by this nascent group. This group will then raise itself up as the ‘savior of the country’ and LIV voters, having reached critical mass, vote them into office.
Burnie will be idolized as the founder of the revolution, much as V.I. Lenin was revered after the Russian revolution; Christianity will virtually disappear and Islam will be embraced as the national religion; the war to the death between Shiia and Sunni will commence in earnest.
Pray that Warren is the Dems candidate in 2020. That harpy’ voice could be used in place of water boarding.
“CHELSEA?”
The training that made Vaudeville actors so awesome was the fact that they went in front of real audiences and they learned what the crowd wanted to hear close up and personal; well within rotten tomato range. This gave us greats like Milton Beryl, Bob Hope, the Marx Brothers...notice that none of those were physically attractive, a must-have for today’s world. They made people listen because they were entertaining and had something valuable to say.
Chelsea has lived in a protected bubble surrounded with adoring sycophants. Not only is she unattractive, but I listened to a couple of her speeches. They reminded me of the first time a high school student stands in front of the class and tries to explain something; awkward, unpracticed, amateur. But the audience reacted as if she was a rock star. She doesn’t realize the need to improve because she already gets the rock star greeting; the opposite of what she needs to become professional and polished.
She is unlikely to improve and those of us who she would need to convince in order to run for office will never be convinced by the child she presents to the public.
Completely agree. While Democrats have succeeded in leveraging race envy, they haven’t accounted for the race hatred of their supporters for each other. Live by race division, die by race division.
Absolutely, and he will be the kingmaker in 2020.
