(36,649 posts)Then you wonder why a minority party like the GOP has any influence at all.
Just because Democrats like Hillary are only ever able to get 70-80% of their progressive & liberal policies enacted into law does not mean they're Republicans in disguise. On the contrary. It means that they are SUCCESSFUL Democrats!
The very people you're trying to run down. And again - you wonder why a minority party like the GOP has any influence at all.
The thing is, Sanders IS NOT promoting your kind of libelous bullshit. Sanders IS NOT looking to destroy the Democratic Party. He wants to B_U_I_L_D___I_T___U_P ! ! - and if he wins he will seek out successful Democrats like Clinton to help him. Sanders knows that as President he will need strong Democratic majorities in both Houses of Congress to be able even to begin to move forward and get anything positive done.
Since you would obviously rather have him maintain his purity as a failed President in a failed country, I wonder how long it will take after President Sanders makes a few necessary compromises before you abandon him for a new progressive White Knight.
