In reply to the discussion: Question: What is Plan B for Bernie Sanders' Campaign? [View all]WhaTHellsgoingonhere
(5,252 posts)86. I've said that. She'll prove she can work across the isle by compromising
And by compromising, I mean giving the Rs what they want: an end to welfare as we know it, the end of Glass-Stegal, NAFTA, TPP, the bailout of banksters and Wall Street, disenfranchising black men with crime law (based on all of above, I'm still at a loss as to why blacks are solidly behind Clinton).
That's pretty easy to say.
Bernie, on the other hand, won't do any of that Third Way bullshit.
But this only matters to Progressives. Third Wayers couldn't be happier with more of the same capitulating Democrats.

If Hillary won the 2008 primary, and voter turnout is down from then, and she's lost this time...

Nope, it is a "what if Bernie wins" thread. Unless he is giving Hillary a big job, she does not
