In reply to the discussion: Deep Hate For The Cheap Thug Trump Is The Ground Of This Election, Ladies And Gentlemen [View all]The Magistrate
(96,043 posts)It is most informative, and I appreciate the effort you took. It was quite unexpected, and so doubly welcome.
Those you may have seen saying the Democratic Party would rather see the cheap thug re-elected than 'Bernie' nominated are exactly the same people who would be content to see the cheap thug re-elected if the Party did not nominate 'Bernie'. It is an illustration of the commonplace observation that it is hard to accuse someone else of something without revealing a good deal about oneself. The most vociferous opponents of Sanders would vote for him over the cheap thug, though without much expectation Sanders would prevail. Fortunately that choice has been avoided. Mr. Biden was not my choice, among the several candidates who stood forward to contest the nomination, but he is the nominee, and I support him unreservedly.
