(135,425 posts)Frankly, if they'd spoken up and started shitflinging the way Sanders' supporters do, he'd have been gone months ago.
You could run Bozo the Clown and he'd barely be a blip a year ago. With time comes recognition.
Many of his supporters are not Democrats. That's just a fact. For many of his supporters, the alternative is TRUMP, and always has been. He is a candidate between the parties, for assorted reasons. He said, from the get-go, that he wanted to energize the "white working man" to vote for him, and he has done that.
Frankly, his "esteem" has taken a hit with me. I'm not alone, either, I don't think.
It doesn't matter at the end of the day. It's becoming clear that, no matter what he does, no matter how much name-calling, shitflinging, personal invective, or nastiness his "team" issues forth, that he's not going to be the nominee. And all the HIDES and insults in the world won't change that fact.
I'll wait until he figures it out. Hopefully he won't wait until he's crossed his own personal Rubicon.
I just hope his supporters aren't ripped off too badly. One doesn't want to dissuade people from supporting the process.
