In reply to the discussion: GET CONTROL, SENATOR SANDERS, OR GET OUT - Newsweek [View all]Staph
(6,251 posts)11. I love the conclusion in the final paragraph.
Which brings us back to the original point: Senators Sanders, grow up or get out. Your supporters are now, in true petulant child fashion, proclaiming that they will vote for Trump rather than Clinton because blah blah blah, Wall Street, blah blah blah, corporate contributors, blah blah blah, establishment, blah blah blah. Probably none of them have much of a memory of the Vietnam War and the 1972 campaign. Then, the liberal wing of the Democratic Party won with the nomination of George McGovern and a large segment of the usual party supporters proclaimed they would vote for Richard Nixon instead. And look how well that turned out.
I'm afraid too many of the Sanders supporters don't remember the disastrous 1968 Chicago and the resulting coronation of Richard Nixon. I'm not sure that many of them remember Richard Nixon!
