If the Democratic nominee is:
Bernie Sanders? A Socialist and old guy with a heart condition. And he yells. And his followers are brats. Trump wins.
Joe Biden? He’s halting, out of touch, his kid is in some kind of corrupt business in the Ukraine. Trump wins.
Amy Klobuchar? A U.S. Senator from Minnesota? Never heard of her before a month ago. Trump wins.
Elizabeth Warren? The woman who has plans for everything. The one who wants to take away my health insurance? Trump wins.
Pete Buttigieg? The guy whose highest office is mayor of a small midwest city? Trump wins.
Mike Bloomberg? He instituted “stop and frisk” and we won’t forgive him for that, no matter how many times he apologizes. Plus, he’s rich, just like FDR. Trump wins.
Tom Steyer? The guy who couldn’t even make the debates? Plus, he is also rich. Trump wins.
Doesn’t look good, does it folks? The center and the left in this country are engaged in a purity contest. If you are not with me on every issue, if you don’t like my candidate, then screw you. And Trump wins.
This country is losing its democracy, and I blame the “decent” people who don’t know how to compromise, don’t understand that the perfect is the enemy of the good, and put their own ideological certainty ahead of global warming, kids in cages, the extinction of species, the growing economic inequality, and the end of democracy as we know it. And those six candidates on that stage tonight in Las Vegas are complicit.
I honestly feel that taking control of the Senate is probably more important than than Sanders losing to Individual one.
