Bernie Sanders: Feel the Math
Mary Buffett 05/23/2016

In sports and in politics—the old rules apply; win with ease and lose with grace.

Worse for Sanders, the behavior of his own followers who caused a near-riot at the recent Nevada Democratic Convention, gave many left-leaning publications the excuse to move away from him or at least question his behavior.

The Nation, which endorsed Sanders in early January, tore Sanders and his campaign apart after the behavior of his followers and the tone of his response. Sanders supporters published the personal information of Nevada Democratic officials, who were harassed with obnoxious comments and even death threats. Instead of taking a moment to corral his own supporters, Sanders went after process issues in Nevada.

2. I didn't know about The Nation response to Nevada.

Wonderful article & historic context. Of course the worshipful won't absorb facts & reason. Speaking of religion, I wonder when they'll begin to split into factions & sects. Maybe some will adopt a bird & others a wagging finger as their symbols. Then they'll fight among themselves.

5. However, if Sanders sits on his thumbs as McCarthy sat on his two generations ago..

How Sanders behaves as the convention comes nearer will be the key. Should he accept reality and gracefully exit to allow Hillary Clinton to prepare for a greater race against Donald Trump, then he will be well remembered.

However, if Sanders sits on his thumbs as McCarthy sat on his two generations ago, we may be in for a very dark time and he will have to take some responsibility for the outcome.

Thank you, Working~
