Very, very dangerous territory.

Even when they are as sick as Donald Trump, he picks up the allure and the powerful appeal of the Populist banner, while folks like Hillary and Debbie Wasserman Schultz just have the whatever it takes to hold that banner high.

Only Bernie, on our side, can do that for the moment. And that is why he should be the one leading the charge.
