It is done in hopes of increasing the number of 'Bernie' followers who will refuse to vote for Mr. Biden, and instead will either not vote, or vote Green, or even vote for the cheap thug itself.





"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

the nom did NOT work.

This goes hand-in-hand with a 'suggestion' that Cuomo would be a better/stronger Democratic nominee than Joe Biden. This is the 'Anyone but Biden campaign'. Sound familiar?

Cuomo to his credit has batted down these suggestions with an emphatic NO and strongly endorsed Joe Biden for President. He's done this while exhibiting leadership skills that Trump is incapable of mustering on his best day.

What really infuriates me is to read self-proclaimed Bernie supporters touting the Trump line: The Democratic Party must run Andrew Cuomo as our nominee. Or Biden's VP selection should be/must be Andrew Cuomo.

Let me suggest something: If you're supporting the Trump meme du jour, you are not a Democrat nor do you have any interest in defeating Trump and his enablers. And I don't give a damn about your reasons or passion.

Kicking Trump and his odious Administration to the curb this November is the only thing that matters. That means getting behind our presumptive nominee without the morbid caveats of 'anything can happen.'

Oh btw, any progressive who now pretends to love Andrew Cuomo better go back and scrub their notes and opinion pieces because Cuomo has been dumped on regularly, called an arrogant bully and/or a DINO at best. This by the very crowd singing the current round of hallelujahs.

It seems like Trump has repeatedly attacked Cuomo. I have yet to see Trump attack Bernie with the regularity with which he attacks Cuomo, primarily because Trump wants to place any blame for the situation in NY on Cuomo. But if you are aware of a bunch of pro-Cuomo tweets by Trump, it would be quite a surprise.

In fact the whole Trump crew were jumping on the Bernie bandwagon, saying how unfair the Senator from Vermont had been treated by the Democratic Party. Because the GOP is all about fairness!

The Cuomo comment came yesterday as Trump continued to flail and saw Cuomo's numbers spike to a whopping 71%. Trump is all about the approval numbers and Trump-flattering polls. The comments I was referring to are here:

This was apparently picked up from a Fox interview. I don't watch Fox, so I ran across the headline in print.

What I find irritating and beyond the pale are recent posts by self-identified Sanders' supporters reiterating the same damn message.
