Democratic insiders are warning that party voters could cast their 2020 vote for President Donald Trump if Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders wins the Democratic nomination.
.
.
.
'I think that there is a very real 'Never Bernie' sentiment amongst both the donor class and moderate, centrist Democrats, or what I would call regular Democrats,' the insider said.
.

.
Politico reports that half a dozen members have discussed a policy reversal that would see super delegates, now called automatic delegates, be able to vote on the first ballot at the party's national convention, increasing the influence of DNC members, members of Congress and other top party officials.

Bernie followers say that they will revert to violence if Bernie is not named as the candidate. How can you reason with such idiots. https://www.wibc.com/blogs/chicks-right/caught-tape-sanders-organizer-issues-threats-violence-milwaukee

There’s a real paean to mature principle - get stompy feet and go vote for The Enemy. LMAO!

We should vote for Bernie during the primaries and have signs and bumper stickers saying Bernie is the guy!

Option one I believe. Option two is ridiculous.
The SJW dems who support the other candidates are highly unlikely to ever vote for President Trump.
I believe dems who will vote for President Trump have already decided to do so and are not going to come from among the Lunatic base of those dem candidates.

Democrats have only Obama to blame for this mess. Obama established the coalition of victim classes as The Base. That coalition has morphed into a plethora of chaotic smithereens.

I think mini-Mike Bloomberg will buy the nomination. Bernie supporters may stay home, but some will say, “Well, at least he wants to take their guns and kill the unborn.”

In fairness, McGovern was a decorated WWII veteran. Bernie is and always has been a bum.

If the DNC/Fake News Apparatus robs Bernie again, as they did in 2016, his supporters are going to be very, very unhappy.

And, that’s putting it mildly.

Absolutely, especially when they did it last election. I like them between a rock and a hard place.

I’m still expecting a Brokered Convention with Hillary, Mooch or Perhaps Deval Patrick riding in on a white horse to save the Democrat Party.

Bernie might come out of it with another lake house, if he is lucky.
