"I've got news for the Democratic establishment. They can't stop us." [View all]

From Bernie Sanders yesterday!

I have posted this before.. but this is exactly what I was talking about

"I have this overpowering urge to stand up and yell "What the hell is wrong with people"
Supporting an Independent and or a former republican mayor over a field of dedicated long term Democrats (and that includes Sen Warren.. she has been in the party quite a while)..

Seriously.. I am not calling them bad people.. but you have honest to God Democrats who put their names on the line as Democrats .. I just do not get it!.. Farther left in your political philosophy.. We have Senator Elizabeth Warren.. It just does not get any better for the lefter side of the party... A pragmatic liberal.. holy cow, we have a bunch for you.. VP Biden (who has actual experience in the executive office), Amy Klobuchar (long past time for a woman) and Pete Buttigieg.. (Up and coming young politician who can think so quickly on his feet)

Guys I just do not get it.. Sanders or Bloomberg either one.. I just don't.."
