(96,043 posts)I would quote the Devil himself if what he wrote were spot-on and apt to my purpose. I have favorite quotes from Chesterton, I have even quoted the late and un-lamented Mr. Buckley on occasion. There are even a couple from Stalin in the rotation, and not the worn to death 'counts the votes' line, either.
Mr. Chait's commentary in the article was an excellent account of the state of play where 'Bernie' and his campaign are concerned. Nothing you say will change that. i will not even point out what you are doing would have many just chanting 'ad hominem, ad hominem' at you....
"From Bernies 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 dont 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."
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
