Of course, if Bernie runs as an independent, he splits the Democratic vote and Trump strolls to the White House.



    This is really too much...
    Driving into work today, I listened to a public radio call in show on the topic of Bernie. The majority of callers insisted that they were with Bernie to the end and would write him in. Party unity was not a priority for them. Even bearing in mind that public radio audiences tend to lean a certain way in politics and reality in general, I thought it was interesting.

    I like this idea. I might just do it!

    While that's tempting I'm old enough to remember the 2000 election disaster and eight years of follow on ramifications. Hopefully Bernie will be able to convince people that a Trump presidency isn't really helpful towards his goals/ideals.

    Based on some of what he's said, he seems to be taking a longer view of the historical dialectic that doesn't necessarily accommodate the best near-term interests of the Democratic Party.

    While I think the idea is interesting, it reminds me that every once in awhile I go to a nice restaurant that has filet mignon on the menu. I just love the tender juicy taste of a medium rare filet mignon. I sit down and peruse the menu just to go through the motions and just before I order, the price starts to get into my mind. Almost without fail, I opt for a stuffed porkchop or chicken breast.

    Amen, brother!

    Dems have been hoodwinking well-meaning but naive liberals for decades with this vote for the lesser of two evils (me!) crap with all its short-sightedness.

    I am writing in The Bern!

    Why go to a restaurant if you're not going to avail yourself of the best it has to offer? Why not just stay home?

    I'm choosing the filet mignon and writing Bernie in.

    I also seem to remember lots of very angry Clinton supporters 8 years ago vowing not to vote for Obama. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/08/clinton.voters/ In the end it didn't really play out that way. Whether Bernie supporters are more principled or are just talk like Clinton supporters were will only become fully clear in a little over six months.

    Because sometimes I'm able to remember the heartburn of a too rich meal so I make a better choice even if it's not what I really want.

    I remember that. They called themselves PUMAs.
