What if Bernie wins?

75. IF you know who said it maybe dont so dismissive

so the states we need are MI, WI and PA...and the 'Democratic' wing of the party won't win those states for us...

One of the states you mention is Michigan.
And I am talking about Paul Wellstone, an arch progressive, not really all that different from Sanders in his positions. From Michigan.

Think about that for a second, please.

And again let me restate my point, the Democratic wing of the Democratic party " was a warning, specifically about the Democratic party losing its way to big money and corporate interests, and looking after the top rather than the bottom.

Wellstone’s words carried weight because he had won.

In 1990, at a time when the Democratic Leadership Council was using every corporate dollar it could find to drag the Democratic Party to the pro-business right, Wellstone came on the national political radar as an unabashed progressive populist who declared himself in solidarity with the causes of union workers, family farmers, peace activists, abortion rights campaigners and racial and ethnic minorities. He took a cue from filmmaker Michael Moore’s anticorporate masterpiece, Roger & Me, and cut a television commercial that had him chasing after his Republican opponent, millionaire Senator Rudy Boschwitz, seeking a debate. That November, Wellstone was the only Democratic challenger to upset a Republican incumbent. It was a huge win for what Wellstone called “the democratic wing of the Democratic Party.” And if party insiders tended to dismiss the lesson of Wellstone’s victory, grassroots Democrats did not.
