The DNC knows it's a total trainwreck. So why not go scorched-Earth? (in their minds)

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.

I’m going to support and vote for Bernie in primary only
Find out the day of their protest and schedule a 2nd A march, and watch them become a no show.
Army Air Corps, bomber pilot IIRC.
Excellent training for the zombie apocalypse!
To the naive supporters of Dems, let me introduce you to the left wing of Mitt Romeny’s uni party establishment.
Bernie has no chance! The DNC just hired all the same Bernie hating Clintonistas as last time. They will make sure Bernie has no chance!
Bloomberg may be able to buy the nomination in a brokered convention. Bloomberg has already somehow been able to get the DNC to change the rules to let him into the debates.
He has already spent a fortune in advance to buy up TV ad spots. The other candidates running against him don’t have such ready cash and when they need to buy ads in the future will find Bloomberg has locked up nearly all the available space.
If they go to a brokered convention, Bloomberg can promise the party the moon and the stars - billions of dollars for adverts, for the PACs, the DCCC, for the party, for get out the vote “walkaround money” etc. It would be hard for the Superdelegates to ignore that; and if necessary that would be a ton of pressure on the other candidates to throw their delegates to him if needed.
Aside: Someone mentioned here recently that Biden may have only really been running to give legitimacy to the whole impeachment narrative “Trump tried to interfere with the campaign”. He did not run in 2016 and how often does a sitting VP choose not to run? You could argue that in 2016 he didn’t think he could beat Hillary - she had loads of support and resigned the SoS office 2 years earlier to fund raise - basically soaking up all the cash people were going to donate. She got the jump on everyone. Bernie’s support came from mostly small donors - hers came mostly from large donors and bundlers (and finagled a way to keep 90%+ of donations to the state parties in a loophole to avoid campaign finance laws). Point being, Bloomberg has the resources to get the state parties very active whereas Hillary sort of gutted their resources.
Bernie has a good slice of the Democrat base, yet there's a faction within the party who won't vote for him. The Dems have to unite behind a single candidate to have any hope of winning, and it's not Bernie. They can't force him out, they'd lose too many votes.
Luckily, Bernie is a lapsed communist - he believes in personal wealth and private property, FOR HIM. He'll allow the party to bribe him, just like he did in 2016. He'll drop out eventually, mend fences and endorse the Dem candidate, urge his followers to vote for him, and pocket a big paycheck for himself.
His supporters will never realize they have been used by a lying grifter like Bernie - two elections in a row!
and bernie followers may stay home if he is robbed
A win-win situation. If they pull the super delegate scam or any other funny business against Bernie again, there will be blood in the streets of Milwaukee. I guess that makes it a win-win-win...
“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.”
Not “only” Obama; Clinton blazed the trail for the Democrats through identity politics, grievance culture, and free stuff for all. BJ opened the spigot, Obama loosened it a little further, and the current crop of leaders have have thrown wide the floodgates.
I don’t think BJ (or his wife) or Barry O ever imagined what is happening right now. 57 genders? The peeps they put in support positions are now occupying leadership positions. Green New Deal? And the peeps they’ve moved up are nuts. OK is a racist gesture? And all of them cheering the most radical policy positions? Free abortions on demand for... trans women?
I can’t tell whether Joe Biden is leading the crazy wing against the insane wing (Sanders/Warren) or he’s fighting Warren for the crazy wing, but I like it lol.
Between the fake impeachment and the Dem primary circus it’s clear that the Democrat party is falling apart.
The Democrat Party is a menace. Every state with a Republican-controlled legislature and a pro-Trump governor should pass laws pledging their Electoral votes to Trump. Those states could then call off their elections in November, limiting the ability of the ‘Rats to cheat.
Such a move would be 100% legal. It’d also send a message that the United States IS NOT A DEMOCRACY. The US is a CONSTITUTIONAL CHRISTIAN REPUBLIC AND ALWAYS WILL BE!
In also in favor of arresting the treasonous DemTARDS and trying them before military tribunals. Trump has the power under the Constitution to do that.
McGovern was a far more serious, respectable, and significant person than he’s often given credit for ( in light of his huge presidential campaign defeat). Also, he was not a pacifist like he’s often portrayed ( for having been against the VN war three years before President Nixon said he was). First Lieutenant McGovern flew 35 missions against Nazi Germany in ww2 and was awarded several medals including Distinguished Flying Cross for saving the life of his crew in a hazardous landing ( damaged plane). He earned a PhD at the evangelical seminary of northwestern university. And he represented South Dakota for many years in the House before being elected to the Senate. And he worked for many years for food for starving people, something he really was seriously concerned about. Not saying you or I would really want him as our president. Not saying that at all. But imho he was a thousand times more credible and accomplished as a person than any of the DNC clowns and communists they got running today. That’s all I mean. ( just compare him to the imho awful likes of Bernie the Red, Fake Injun Squaw, HilLIARy, Buttplug, Bloomie the accomplished but arrogant as Hell gun- grabbing abortionist, etc. ha! A sadder bunch has never been assembled outside an insane asylum) Ps: please no flames. I’m not suggesting any of us would have chosen senator McG. Thanks.
Will Bernie sell-out to Hillary again?
Or will Hillary quietly suggest Bernie step aside? Again?
Bernie is the smartest candidate for the Dems. They ave no chance of winning against Trump.By putting a bonafide leftist loser up against Trump they validate the unelectability of a socialist and rid themselves of extreme leftists.
they need to stay the eff hone
Allah has confounded them.
Well that’s what happened in 2012
