2. Bill Kristol is a right-wing Republican. There is no Trump-Sanders alliance.

Trump is salivating to wallop Bernie, and in the process weaken Dems in every other race.

8. "Alliance" implies that both parties came to an agreement.

There's no alliance here from Sanders' perspective. Not sure why Kristol even used the term.

Meanwhile Bernie has the best reach with independents and disillusioned Trump voters.

The worst ticket topper for us would be Bloomberg -- a bloodbath down ticket and damage that would extend into 2022 and 2024.

7. "Alliance" is an inaccurate term.

Sanders hasn't aligned with Trump, nor have his supporters. The GOP may very well be trying to get Sanders the nomination, but Sanders has nothing to do with that.
