21. The Only Cause Of Division, Sir, Is Sanders' Being Bull-Headed In A Lost Cause

So long as he persists in showboating, and so long as he is kept in countenance by devoted supporters, 'Bernie' does harm to the prospects of turfing out this cheap thug Trump.

Once Sanders accepts reality and leaves go his illusions, no one is likely to say one harsh word towards him. Or pay him much attention at all. One suspects this is why he will not abandon his destructive course....





"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
I think it's perfectly fine as long as they did the work. Presumably he trusts them more than he napi21 Apr 2020 #1
