(51,500 posts)trying to encourage his followers' paranoia that Democrats are rigging everything against him.
He's the ONLY candidate running that the GOP will have absolutely no trouble shackling with the "socialist" or even "communist" label, thanks to his own past statements and actions.
He's the ONLY candidate running who can credibly be accused of failing to support his family when he had a young child.
He's the ONLY candidate running who was a presidential elector for a socialist party when their presidential candidate was known for having advocated American soldiers turning their guns on their officers. A party that sided with Iran during the Iran hostage crisis.
He's the candidate who's been most critical of the Democratic Party, and whose own words can be too easily used to disparage the party. He seems to revel in viewing himself as a threat to the party.
He's the candidate whose more problematic supporters are infamous enough to be the subject of MSM storiees and an SNL cold open.
And he's the candidate who despite have suffered a recent heart attack, and having promised to release full medical records, has reneged on that promise, raising even more concerns about just how bad his health is and what disqualifying medical conditions he's hiding.
He's a potential disaster for the Democratic Party, just waiting to happen if we nominate him.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
