“There is an (I) behind his name for party affiliation. NOT a (d). So he doesn’t HAVE to follow the party rules.”
That’s a very interesting thought. He’s an Independent Communist trying to get the Socialist Democrat nomination to run against Trump.
With your comment in mind, then Sanders does not have to follow the rules, and neither do does the rat party. They could sidestep him with their own candidate or select one of the dems running, or even Hillary.
“...They could sidestep him...” Better check the Vegas odds. It will be interesting to see the results of todays flustercuck if burnknee sanDUHs wins the majority. Even after nuzzlin’ joe getting endorsed by lamey clubcar and ‘peter’ buttplug.
The Dems invited him into their tent in order to give the appearance that he was one of them. In reality, they wanted to include him because if they didn't, he'd be a third-party candidate that siphoned a bunch of votes from the Democrat candidate.
The Dems under-estimated his ability to be a anti-Democrat establishment contender, and assumed that they would beat him down through the primary process. That didn't happen as the Democrat candidates were weak.
They tried to sell all of Bernie's ideas of free healthcare, free schooling, wealth taxes, Green New Deals...you name it. Perhaps they didn't have the same passion about those ideas that Bernie did, perhaps they couldn't appeal to enough delegates that they were better and more electable than Bernie was.
Now, they're dropping like flies before Super Tuesday, in order to circle the wagon around the most establishment candidate, Joe Biden. We all know how that's turning out.
