So apparently Bernie's going to the White House tomorrow

90. But in the party he is very powerful

And do not kid yourself about a president getting involved in the politics of his replacement. That is not corrupt but par for the course. As head of the party, you could argue he has an obligation to explain in no uncertain terms the way things stand. I know that sound cynical, but it has always been that way. Read what FDR or LBJ, two our our progressive heroes would do to party members who strayed from the team. They could be ruthless to the point of wrecking careers.

Now, I certainly agree with you that Obama will not try to make Bernie quit the race. And do not think Bernie would swayed at this point in his career. He would tell the president to go pound sand. Because his age is actually one of his largest strengths. He is at the end of his career.

But if he were 45 and ambitious you better believe he president could bend him to his will. That is one of the nice things about Bernie, for most of his life he has had limited ambitions.

Just curious, why do you think Bernie asked for the meeting?

Have a nice evening.
