Bernie has got to be driving the 3-D Chess Camp nuts!!!

Y'all must hope he'd just shut his mouth and go away by now. You've probably Nader'd him at this point.

Go Bernie!!!!!!!!!!

Yeesh, Clinton was a shill. He was wrong on...

...trade, financial market deregulation, DADT, DOMA, and, straight from the lips of the CATO Institute to his, "ending welfare as we know it."

Clinton wins.

Oh, only a marginalized whacko like Bernie Sanders would fight for that...

...I'm beginning to think a lot of Obama supporters have marginalized Sanders in this way. He must be the new Nader for them.

He sure did...

He already had half of the (voting) country against him, now he's forcing his most staunch supporters to rail against him. The damage is now done.

I guess one way to look at it is tell yourself that a good deal means people on both sides are unhappy.

But you'd be foolish to think this. One side is terminally unhappy regardless of the policy. Thusly, making the more unhappy won't lose you supporters. On the other hand, making your side unhappy *for a stunt!* comes at a price.

Rs can point to this as a defining moment in his presidency: he's no leader. He's turning his own party against him...for a stunt!!! That's not leadership.

They can say this, and they'd be right to do so.

I do too. But why and at what cost?

Obama jumped the shark when he surrounded himself with Clintonites...

DOMA was just one of several bad Clinton policies (e.g. trade, deregulation of financial markets). Lest we forget, he was the first Democrat to "reform" welfare.

Congress has lower ratings than Snooki's womb!

What's the point of the Grand Stunt?

Who in America is surprised that Congress is dysfunctional? Obama? People stopped paying attention because they expect Congress to do nothing. Does Obama believe that one more stunt will be the last straw for Americans? Now into his 5th year and, voilà, the Grand Stunt, invented to piss off my base in return for allowing yours claim victory: we blocked him yet again!!!

At what point does Obama stop playing Charlie Brown to the R's Lucy?

Time to pull up the sleeves and fight the good fight. If that alone is your legacy, that's something to be proud of.
