10. Puff him to the disaffected left, tear down for the RW.

A bunch of RW talking heads are doing versions of this.

Given the great success of this tactic last time, they need to use Sanders against Democrats again, so they're publicizing him big time, blowing hot and cold but always puffing him up as a national figure.

But since Sanders is going after disappointed trumpster populists big time, they're educating them that, no matter how appealing the rhetoric might sound, left-wing populism is only social conservative-lite and isn't actively nasty enough to meet their hard-core trumpster "standards."

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
