Democrat Strategist Justin Horwitz: Democrat Candidates ‘Condoning the Theft of the Nomination from Bernie’
Breitbart ^ | 22 Feb 2020 | Hannah Bleau

Posted on 02/22/2020 3:31:06 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Justin Horwitz, a Democrat campaign strategist and key supporter of Democrat frontrunner Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), appeared on Breitbart News Saturday and highlighted the “remarkable” stance of Sanders’ competitors, who he said are “condoning the theft of the nomination from Bernie.”

Horwitz, a political strategist who works with local, state, and national campaigns, spoke to Breitbart News Washington Political Editor Matthew Boyle on Saturday about the Democrat Party’s seeming attempts to rig the election against the socialist senator and slammed Sanders’ counterparts for demonstrating that they are okay with it.

“It’s pretty remarkable. I think it’s what everybody thought the DNC was going to do. Every candidate except for Bernie Sanders basically is condoning the theft of the nomination from Bernie,” Horwitz said, referencing a moment during the Las Vegas debate where all of the candidates — minus Sanders — refused to say that the candidate with the most delegates should be the nominee, regardless if it is a majority.

“We’ve got the candidate with the most votes, most donors, most doors knocks, most phone calls made, basically up 20 points in the polls, and everybody is now saying if he gets the most votes and has the most delegates going into the convention, they’re all fine with stealing it from him,” he continued, noting that it is not just one or two candidates.

“It’s all of them, and it’s pretty remarkable. I don’t think there’s any precedent for it with the exception maybe of 2016, when they hinted they would try to steal it from President Trump but they ultimately didn’t,” Horwitz said.

Of course they condone it.

The same people have been trying to steal the 2016 election from Trump for the last three years.

Bernie may go to the convention with the most delegates, but as a good socialist he should share his delegates with the candidates who have fewer.

Buttgig will throw his delegates to Biden on the second convention ballot in exchange for the Veep slot.

What Berniebots do after that is anybody’s guess.

You could make a Geico commercial out of this.

Democrats stealing elections . . . it's what they do.

This reads to me like he’s not going to get to 50% delegates.

The question for the Dems will be how high is high enough.

49% of course he gets it.

42% yes, you’d have to give it to him.

32% ? No, I don’t think Bernie would be the nominee if he had a plurality, but only 32% of the delegates.

Makes a lot of sense. Of course, that kind of nuance and common-sense won’t get any clicks or interest in the media, so we won’t hear anything like that.

My thinking is Bernie gets 40-42%, all the other candidates get 15-25%, they pool their delegates and get majority to secure nomination. Bernie Bots go ballistic at convention and someone who received 15-25% originally is nominated, which one it is I don’t know, but I’m hoping it is brutally chaotic.

Democrats have a long history of changing the rules of the game in the middle of the game. That is not “rigging”. That is just acting in the direction of history. As we see history zig and zag, the rules of the game have to zig and zag.

well, since Bernie the Red has gone through his entire 80 year life and he’s still not a Democrat........it makes sense for the Democrats to stop him
