(12,265 posts)and the general if he gets to that point as a Democrat. If after I send him money, stuff envelopes and canvass for him he turns around and runs as an independent third party candidate I will feel totally used.
The right wing nuts in my neighborhood are all filled with glee at the thought of Bernie splitting the party and allowing their Republican candidate (which ever clown doesn't fall out of the clown bus) to win and taking some tea party congressmen in with him or her.
While I prefer him to Hillary right now, I prefer a Democrat to a Republican every time. You can see how the Bernie/Hillary thing is splitting the party by reading what is posted here on DU, or listening to Democrats at your local party office.
We need to be very vigilant that we don't shoot ourselves in the foot and send the country down the dumper due to our love for a progressive candidate.
