27. Bernie did perfectly.

I would expect Hillary Clinton to let the Fux Nooz be ignored, and potential voters ignored.

Sometimes Fux Republicans are the same people that the Third Way Democrats have abandoned years ago and favored for the 1%'ers. The middle class. White people. Black people. Latino people. All people - and he's been on target on all the issues that even the 99%'ers are looking for. America needs to rebuild the middle class, in ORDER for the rich to continue to be happy. There has to be a balance somewhere. The inequality has grown so big that we have to put a stop in the runaway social order. Going right and pushing to the right is not the answer. Hillary Clinton is for the right of center, and favors mainstream Republican positions more than the fringe-right positions. That is what is attracting the wrong kind of people into the party. We are a big tent, but sometimes, there is no more room for right-wing ideologues - and if they want to go right, then they need to split it up.

Yes. I said it. Split the right-leaning Third Wayers out of the real Democratic Party. Find their own party - Call it the Third Way Party. They can triangulate all they care - we don't need this kind of right-wing muck in our platform - they can go tilt either way on some issues. And what's more important - the candidate that you may view may not be the SAME as the President. We got hope and change, and we got some of it, but not all of it. It went more to the right than to the left. We got Obamacare, born from the Heritage Foundation blueprint to oppose what Hillary Clinton proposed in 1994. It continues to enrich the insurance companies, but in a different way.

Bernie is merely reminding people that there are such people like him out there that wants to reach out for people like him.

Bernie has spoken for me, and I am extremely excited about what he can bring to the Democratic Party. If he is the flagbearer, Democratic Party can be risen from the ashes like the phoenix - and that includes bringing in progressive candidates to remove as many Republicans now that they have a real choice -the progressives or the regressives. The future or the Dark Ages.

Take your pick.

I'd rather go progressive, and damn the Third Party. I am of the opinion that Bernie will have nowhere but to go up and take the mantle once he makes a formal switch to the Democratic Party and give Hillary Clinton a real challenger from the left.
