I speak for my wife and I and...Last edited Wed May 18, 2016, 06:05 PM - Edit history (1)
...nobody e!se when I say what I'm about to say. I am also saying this in a protected group in case any Sanders supporters want to alert me for not confirming to the "BernieUnderground" litmus test of blind and unquestioning devotion and loyalty to the non Democrat seeking the DEMOCRATIC nomination.
My wife and I are DONE with Back Bench Bernie. To steal the title of the last episode of MASH, Goodbye, Farewell, Amen. If, by some political nightmare, he does become our nominee, I will pinch my nose and vote for the mean old tax hider, but I will not contribute one red cent nor advocate for him at all. I will watch in horror as he takes a beating from, of all people, Donald Rump, who would hand Sanders a coast to coast thumping that would make Nixon/McGovern '72 look like Kennedy/Nixon '60! The horror will be because we had passed on the most qualified presidential candidate of my (by then) 61 years in favor of HIM...YUCK!!! The lied about endorsements, stolen data, crybaby tantrums, wholesale embrace of many times debunked rightist talking points, phoney Vatican trip among many other things made me lose all respect I ever had for him. Up until a week or so ago, I was willing to possibly choose to regain some of that respect back. No more! The conduct of his supporters in the Nevada fiasco and his condoning it as he asserts his victim hood, as well as their intent to turn Philadelphia into a replay of 1968 Chicago has been the final straw. I hope that Howard Dean, Maggie Kunin or some other real Democrat challenges him for his Senate seat in 2018. My wife and I would certainly actively contribute to his well earned defeat. At the beginning of this campaign I considered him to be a great man and wouldn't say a negative thing about him, only positives about Hillary. Unfortunately, Back Bench Bernie has proven himself to be the bitter, petty little person he is, and I am sick of him, and I will deal no more with him or his fanatical backers who think that name calling and threatening women and children is an appropriate way to politically debate. Once again, I am DONE with Bernard Sanders! PEACE!

...than I think he can handle the Sanders temper tantrum crowd.
After all, most Sanders supporters are sane and will vote for Hillary. As a Philly native (and proud Villanova grad) I knew Ed Rendell to be a great DA, mayor and governor. He knows how to be tough without going all Richard Daley. Back Bench Bernie MAY come to some sense and sanity after the primary is over, but I doubt it. Not as long as he keeps getting those $27 donations! PEACE! |

With a Back Bench Bernie nomination, e!section night this year would be awful because, as he was getting his wrinkled ass handed to him coast to coast by Donald Rump, I'd be thinking of the president we might have had in Hillary.
