(12,882 posts)If you're willing to listen, they'll tell you it was Bernie who handed the Oval office to Trump. I find it intriguing that I hardly see ANY mention of DWS anymore - the "leader" who presided over SO MANY lost government seats across the nation! Whar's the love for Darling Deb??? Or, where's the hate for her??? Nah - nothing to learn from that debacle. Blinders up and follow the leader!
I don't dwell on it too much, but I have to wonder what sorta criticism President Sanders would be pummeled with by Dems if he were at his 100-day mark. How much of themselves would Ryan and the Turtle have eaten at this point? Where would health care, infrastructure, wages and foreign policy be under Sanders at this point? How many of his current-day detractors would secretly be giddy as an un-harnessed (read that - un-obliged to special interests) fighter unabashedly confronted the other establishment?
