That's the problem. That said, great post.

The Sanders people have cried and yelled that they have a revolution a movement. They don’t and never have.

If you’ll recall the Bernie in 2008 was John Edwards. He was way to the left of Hillary and Obama. And so, two moderates beat him badly. He employed the exact same rhetoric as Bernie.

Bernie took over in 2016 and got clobbered by Hillary and now he’s getting clobbered again.

Bernie is an ideologue and has created a minor cult-like following that has no direction or perspective about political reality and practicality.

As of now, the only thing that can hurt Biden is the sour grape destructive (take the ball home when losing) force of some followers of Bernie…

Sanders considers the Democratic Party as much the Establishment as he does the Republican Party. He has always considered them interchangeable opponents of revolutionary action. He wishes not to ally with or assist the Democratic Party, rather he imagines he can take it over, make it over into his own image, and having thus breached the castle wall, use his new revolutionary party as the tool of destruction for the remaining institutions of the Establishment. A course of action, on reflection, rather like that of a virus towards a living cell.

It has been what, about six years, I think.

Get well -- stay well.

return!

He loves the campaign, but not the governing. His IQ is high, but his EQ is low. Unfortunately, to build something sustaining is more a function of EQ in this case.

I understand he ranks behind Senators Rand and Cruz and being the least liked and hardest to work with in Congress. I could go on. My own preferred candidate dropped out, so i now support Biden for the reasons above.

And glad to have you back sir!

L-

That sounds about right.

Professor Warren was my preference, and of the women of the household as well.

Great to see you as well! Missed you!

I was proud to at least get a vote in for her. Cried when she did not take hold. I attribute her miss to misogyny. Was glad to see Biden accepting some of her ideas - made the transition easier.

WB.

but I nominate Peacetrain as the Patron Saint of Lost Causes.

Hope Bernie surprises us but I ain't holding my breath.

Because the presidential race isn't the only one on the ballot. Every state has races at the federal, state and local level that need to pick candidates for the November ballot.

Now, granted, some primary races are mere formalities, like the one in my Congressional district. There was never any doubt that Joaquin Castro would become the Democratic candidate, and there's no doubt he will win in November. But races elsewhere have competitive primaries and then will have tough races in November. And those still need to get decided.

...and has always hated?

He's Trump-left with the absurd and delusional claim that only he can save the world.

He cares far less for his country or future generations than he cares for himself and his inflated view of himself.

Ms. Clinton had him pegged from the get go. All hat, no cattle.
