That's what happens when the baddies go several "bridges too far" Or a better metaphor for this time of year, "get waaaay out in front of their skis." They inevitably do something horrifically stupid, and end up getting rolled up. Pukes are back on their heels right now in an indefensible position. Keep rolling them up! Wonderful job, Bernie!

Who said American public opinion didn't matter anymore.
