Bernie’s Brigades won’t go away silently, and there’s no way he becomes her running mate. She’s the nominee and she’s going down in flames in November. In the annals of history Bernie will become a lefty folk hero for standing up to the establishment and Shrillary will only be known as Bill’s Wife. They won’t say it out loud but most people in the Democratic Party from the rank and file to the party leadership will be glad to get rid of the Clintons as powerbrokers. I’m convinced Bill will be happy too with a Hillary defeat so he won’t have to share the spotlight in history with her.
Bernie Sanders, the last hippie. The Ben and Jerry’s candidate. Free land and free food and free healthcare and free school.
The flickering last ebb of the age of Aquarius.
Bill will also be glad not to share the spotlight of scrutiny of being in the WH too. Everywhere he goes, everything he does.
That they certainly will not. Could be a hot summer in Philadelphia, the, er, City Of Brotherly Love. And there I went thinking the Republican convention was going to be the battleground...
A critical demographic in all this is the "I've voted Democrat all my life" wing - it's very difficult to measure, but if that demographic deserts the Dems as it appears it might, this one's over before it begins. Even people who don't like Trump are occasionally amused by him, but Hillary has none of that going for her. She is despised, and she's earned it. And nothing her people are doing to lock up her nomination is making her any less despised.
