2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Camile Paglia on Hillary's Sleepwalking [View all]
For the Nth time raised to the third power, why Bernie won't quit:
The articles floating of the idea of a Joe Biden-Elizabeth Warren substitute ticket (which Ive been privately predicting to friends all year) is so evenly and magisterially phrased that I wondered if the text had been vetted by an approving White House. So this may be why Bernie Sanders (my candidate) has gone into overdrivenot to damage Hillary, as her acolytes spitefully claim, but to fight off the tactical insertion of Biden at the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia. Sanders could rightly claim, on the basis of his long and strenuous primary campaign, that if anyone deserves the nomination vacated by a tarnished Hillary, it is he. If Sanders does defer to Biden, it will only be via enormous concessions, beginning with the unceremonious removal of devious DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Keep repeating the weak meme about Bernie looking like a sore loser, dead ender, bitter ender, yada, yada, yada, woo, woo, blah, blah, blah to your heart's content.
Oh yeah, FACTS! MATH! THE VOTERS!
Nobody cares, because Bernie is in it to win it. The fat lady don't sing until the Democratic Convention Soap Opera is over.

Of course she doesn't. She has never said a positive thing about women or to women. Nt

Right leaning, libertarian assholes should get a chilly response on a Democratic site.
