[conclusion]:
For a party that has spent four years insisting that removing Trump from power is an absolute prerequisite to saving the republic and all things decent in the world, it is bizarre, to put it mildly, to watch them embark upon the one strategy that is most likely to most fracture their own party and drive huge numbers of voters away from their nominee. They have an episode in their not-so-distant past — one that their elders who are plotting all of this obviously remember — which should serve as a very vibrant and compelling warning against doing this.
It is hard to believe they are not aware of what they are doing. Indeed, there’s every reason to believe they know exactly the harm this would cause. That’s why the New York Times’ headline reporting on this strategy made clear that the Democratic establishment was willing to risk another four years of Trump in order to prevent a takeover of “their party” by an actual advocate of the working class and a mild, incremental opponent of corporatism and militarism:
Those are not the actions of a party that regards removing Trump from power as its overarching priority. Those are, instead, the actions of party establishment apparatchiks who far prefer to lose to Trump and endure four more years of his presidency than lose their monopoly over the apparatus of an out-of-power Democratic Party and all the consulting contracts, funding opportunities, and lobbyist openings that go along with it.
And that’s the reason why the destruction of the Democratic Party establishment remains, for so many, such an overarching political priority. It’s hard to see how any meaningful political progress is possible without first removing that rot.

eeewwwwww......
Hillary is waiting for the chance to run again. Tomorrow, we’ll find out if the Democrats are headed for a brokered convention.
Her Thighness has been biding her time...
I can only hope the Milwaukee Police remember the wise words of the great Chicago mayor King Daley the First that they are there to preserve disorder.
The Bernie Bros are going to burn Milwaukee down.
If Hillary and the DNC scoop up the nomination, it’ll be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
There will be no MSM to hide the violence this time because of social media and cell phones.
It will not e the end of the Democrat Party any more than 1968 Chicago was the end of the Party. We are looking at a socialist future. Our entire educational and entertainment system has been molding the minds of our children for generations. The part of the population that still understands history is shrinking. Trump is the best we have but he can put off the inevitable only for another decade or so. Even DJT cannot get the federal government out of the fields of education and of medicine and of welfare all of which is required if the Republic is to survive.
The establishment knows Bernie will be a catastrophe. Democrats are going to lose anyway but they want to hold down their losses.
Especially down ballot losses.
The Wisconsin National Guard has already received their orders to be in Milwaukee during the convention.
But, it will be interesting if Far Left Lunatic Governor Tony Evers actually orders the Guard into action.
Are we all planning a Meetup in Milwaukee? U going? Take videos?

VERY TRUE.
I am NOT going to attend either national convention this go-round, as I’m now 73YO & too old to be a “street-fighter” OR embroiled in a brawl, even if I wanted to be.
(I do NOT want to be at my age as an EOF.)
I predict that BOTH conventions will have incidents of street violence, as the ANTIFAS, BLM & numerous/other FAR LEFT/VIOLENT groups will likely “be out in force” & “looking for trouble”.
Just my OPINION, TMN78247
Humphrey easily won on the first ballot
This year, it will be contested.
That will be the one time to be rooting for the Bernie Bros. Chuckle.
That’s MUCH of what I (sadly) FEAR. = The MORON LEFTIST CRAZIES are MUCH BETTER ARMED & even more violent/loony in 2020 than they were in 1968.
Instead of rocks & bottles of flaming gasoline being thrown at people/into the crowd, people hitting others with clubs & “demonstrators” spraying people with “oven cleaner”, I expect widespread shooting incidents.
One hopes that the MPD, the State Troopers & the WIARNG is READY FOR WAR.
Yours, TMN78247
Will Mayor Pete be in the audience screaming “(censored) you!” when Bernie speaks like Mayor Daley did at Senator Ribicoff?
YES, I remember READING about the GOP Convention in NYC. = I was OCONUS, at that time, with the Army.
Yours, TMN78247
I thought it was heading that way, but I have been surprised by how quickly most of the candidates collapsed.
