Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's Dire Warning: Bernie Sanders' Candidacy 'Built On False Premise"

https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2020/02/24/former-chicago-mayor-rahm-emanuels-dire-warning-bernie-sanders-candicacy-built-on-false-premise/
CHICAGO (CBS) – Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel had a clear warning for Democrats: A primary victory for Bernie Sanders puts the whole future of the party at risk.

“His candidacy is built on a false premise, strategically and policy-wise,” Emanuel, who served in both Clinton and Obama administrations, said of the far left canidate on CBS This Morning.

Bernie Sanders view is, I don’t want these moderate and fickle voters. We just have to turn out our base,” Emanuel said. “His view is, forget the center, we just want to be left. And that’s never been tried.”

Emanuel pointed to six elections—the four presidential wins by Clinton and Obama and the two midterms in 2006 and 2018—in which a center left strategy and “big urban and suburban turnout” were the keys to victory.

Sanders, who has emerged as the front runner after early primaries, is “an ideological risk policy-wise. I don’t think there are 70 million waiting socialists to be woken, who don’t know they are socialists yet.”

He cited Illinois House districts, which are traditionally conservative but were flipped blue in 2018. None of those candidates has rushed to back Sanders. Similar seats nationwide are in jeopardy without a plan to reach moderate voters at the top of the ticket.

?????

How can DU, in terms of whom we support be so different than national polls ?

If legit ??? That is, if no one manipulating results of OUR primaries, polls, and caucuses ( #$@&$), then..... Would love it if the Sanders supporters here would help the rest of us.

Help/Make us love him. For me, it's light years away, at this point

Trump Gives Defense Department Power To Abolish Bargaining For Civilian Unions

https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/collective-bargaining-union-trump-defense-department-125030181.html

President Donald Trump has officially granted the Department of Defense the legal authority to abolish the collective bargaining rights of its civilian labor unions representing some 750,000 workers.

Gutting the unions would provide “maximum flexibility,” Trump wrote in a memo published Thursday in the Federal Register, which was first reported by Government Executive.

Trump signed the memo three weeks ago, invoking “national security” to justify granting the Defense Department an exemption from the law giving all federal workers the right to unionize.

Dems unwittingly gave up WH tonight

Unless everything does a complete turnaround.

Instead of concentrating exclusively on the monster in the WH, they fought against Bloomberg. How silly and shortsighted and stupendously inane. The guy who's spending MILLIONS on ads against the greatest threat to life as we know it? And we attack? Whoever Dems are paying for strategy advice - they are paying too much.

Honestly have absolutely zero ideas on how to turn this ship around. But, bet Carville or Bill Clinton know.

Meanwhile trump marches on with his criminality. And our side says, " not gonna go after anything except maybe judge tampering.".
