The Dems Deserve Bernie

If nothing else is learned during the 2020 election season, this one lesson must be taught, shared, and passed down through the ages: the Democrat Party of 2020 absolutely deserves Bernie Sanders. Of course, many Democrats will deny this, because they well know that Crazy Bernie is a presidential electoral disaster just waiting to happen. Every caucus and primary he wins or finishes strongly in puts the democrats closer to that well-deserved reality.

Despite their recent efforts -- Mike Bloomberg entering the race, Hillary declaring Sanders a “career politician” that “nobody likes,” James Carville complaining that Sanders wants criminals and terrorists to vote from jail cells, Chris Matthews lecturing the American left on the perils of socialism -- Bernie keeps polling well and winning races. Much to the chagrin of Democrats, whether he wins or loses a particular primary, Bernie is going nowhere soon.

Frank Bruni of the New York Times agrees. He recently warned his fellow liberals, “Sanders will be a major force in the Democratic race until the end. He’s perhaps the only candidate about whom that can definitively be said.” Nevertheless, Bruni and his ilk keep hoping that somewhere “there’s a moderate around whom [Democrat] voters can coalesce.”

The Democrats do deserve Bernie, which is why all of us in open primary states should vote for him in the primary.
Bernie at the top of the ticket is our best chance for a landslide for Trump and to get the House back.

Bern It Down!

The irony is they invited him in to be a “sparring partner” for Hillary. Now they can’t get rid of him.

THE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS ARE DESPERATE AND WILL LATCH ONTO ANYONE WHO CAN GARNISH A SINGLE VOTE. BERNED OUT IS SO EGOTISTICAL THAT HE WILL SAY AND DO ANYTHING FOR PUBLICITY. MIGHT EVEN WRITE MORE PORN.

Thanks to the lack of a winner takes all primary system, barring some implosion we’re not likely to see from someone as formidable as Bloomberg, it’s now a race between him and Sanders. Bloomberg will buy off all the also-rans, pick one of them as his VP and crush Sanders at the convention. After all, what’s Biden going to do with his consolation prize of being an almost, but not-quite Democratic nominee? Why not get a standing lifetime invitation to use Bloomberg’s private jets anytime he wants to?

I worry about Bernie just because the SocialDemocrat machines control the vote count in all or nearly all the major cities in all the states.
