(29,111 posts)Says she is often asked whether the establishment would "let" Bernie win. NO, they will do absolutely everything to block him, although they are "discredited and impotent." They will smear and tear him down (Oh dear, poor Bernie!
), but this will only elevate him and bring him more support from the young, the working class, and independents who are DISGUSTED with the establishment. If the establishment does "wake up and panic" it will be good because their "obvious vitriol" will be better than what they are doing now, which is ignoring him.
So the establishment is all powerful and rig everything and stop candidates with their superpowerful smears at the same time they are ignoring Bernie and doing a press blackout (where did the smears and tear-downs go?) and oh, by the way, they are discredited and impotent and can't do anything to stop Bernie and his working class movement.
Okay.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
