no particular loyalty to the Democratic party. Ralph Nader could probably have run again, and they'd be just as happy. Being anti-establishment is so cool, no matter which side of the political coin you flip.

BS' notoriety, such as it is, is a creation of folks like Hartmann, Schultz & Malloy. My theory is that they'd be just as happy with a Republican in the White House, much better for ratings. And the folks BS needs to show up for him in the caucuses and primaries are the same folks who will go missing in the midterms. I mean, WTF is the point of electing a POTUS that you'll abandon the moment it becomes inconvenient.

Like the President Obama said, BS is 'the shiny new object', and that's bad for our democracy.
