Ask Howard Dean what the DNC can do to your campaign with just one scream, eeeeaaaayaauugghhh!

[Cboldt]

2nd or 3rd “15 minutes of fame.”

He won’t be allowed to take the nomination.

I might switch from R to D for the primaries, just to vote for Bummie Sanders. Then switch back.

We might even see a 50 state blowout. KAG 2020!

Wonder why Pat is evoking the late Robert Schuller here . . .

[Drango]

Bernie Bros will walk if he’s denied the nomination...

GO BERNIE!

[Olog-hai]

Think that’ll be enough to overcome the stupordelegates?

I heard a caller to Rush (I think it was Rush) say the other day that every Jew from Brooklyn has a crazy uncle like Bernie in the family...an old coot who rants and raves about the wonders of socialism/communism.

Looks like that crazy uncle might win the nomination. If Bernie wins, he will pick a Veep who passes commie muster.

Hillary will definitely need to step in at that point.

Talk about a basket of deplorables.

There’s a reason Skunk Cabbage, who otherwise never misses a chance to make a political comment, has not made one in this race (other than to attack Tulsi) - it’s because she wants a rematch. I suspect the same is true with Obama, he likely prefers Skunk Cabbage over the rest of the field.

But for Skunk Cabbage to actually become the nominee, then the field has to be flat, so there is no one with more than 50% of the delegates at the DNC Convention. So the DNC changed the rules and, based on articles earlier this week, they’ve installed Skunk Cabbage loyalists in key positions for the convention. But be ready for the heavy guns to move-in on Bernie, as Skunk Cabbage is at great risk if Bernie starts pulling away with Primary victories.

This will be FUN to watch!

Oh heck no, but the bigger the vote for bummie, the greater the stolen primary will appear and the greater the donkey civil war will be. Either the commie bum gets the nod, or it's stolen and his dopey snowflakes stay home for the general election.

MAGAnificence!

I’m thinking that Veep will be AOC. If Bernie WERE elected and had another major heart attack we could have President AOC.

Now that WOULD BE crazy.

[mad_as_he$$]

AOC isn’t old enough for this round to be VP.

[Beowulf9]

oh. well thank the Lord above!

If the Democrat establishment succeeds in blocking Bernie, many of his supporters will stay home or support a third party candidate. If Bernie is nominated, many lunch pail Democrats will consciously make the move over to Donald Trump's new Republican Party.

The rats have a dilemma.

If they stay with Joe, his sleaze will destroy him and many down ticket. Many more will fall with Joe's gaffes. Their only sensible option is to go with charisma weak Sen. Klobuchar, Gay mayor Pete or sometime Republican billionaire parachutist Bloomberg.

If I were a Democrat, my choice would be Bloomberg as the least vulnerable, least crazy, best financed, very likely to be a good loser. He would keep the party in tact and produce few gaffes. Apparently an individual of relative reason (as opposed to the certifiably crazy) Bloomberg might stop the party from disintegrating and save the House. He would, however, be anathema to Bernie's crazies.

Why are Americans being censored from hearing about the Ukrainegate investigations (fraud, money-laundering and more)well known in Europe??

Can Biden stay in the race if these things are known in the US?

If Bernie wins, the DNC is finished as a mainstream party for a generation.

If Bernie loses, the DNC will be torn apart and finished as a mainstream party for a generation.

If the Dems had any sense at all, they would allow Bernie to get the nomination and let him be the one who gets slaughtered. They don’t have a candidate who can compete with the momentum Trump has at this point.

The oxymoronic smart Democrats should be calling this round a wash and get to work finding a superstar or two who can successfully run when Trumps 2nd term is through.

I will be very surprised if the DNC lets Bernie win the nomination. If they do, it will realize that if they screw him out of the nomination (again), his base will stay home this time. And they really, really need his base.

That being said, I would luv to see the fireworks if Hillary is anointed at the Convention (without participating in ANY primaries) after Bernie works his butt off & wins the required number of delegates (or gets within spitting distance).
