Conservatives, Don’t Be Fooled. Bernie Can Win.

Don’t laugh. Sanders can win the Democratic nomination—and, yes, the presidency. And a Sanders vs. Trump race would change the country for the worse.

Once upon a time, it would have been unthinkable for America to nominate an avowed socialist who complimented the Castro regime, defended Nicaragua’s Daniel Ortega, attacked 150 years of American imperialism, and—after visiting Moscow—praised the Soviet Union’s youth and cultural programs.

Yet, Bernie Sanders’ second quest for the Democratic nomination got off to an incredibly strong start this week, when he hauled in nearly $6 million within 24 hours of announcing his intention. Many early polls (including one in Iowa) show him trailing only Joe Biden—a man who might not even run. Sanders is also currently crushing the DailyKos straw poll, for what that’s worth.

Even a decade ago, voters would have considered Sanders’ politics a deal breaker―in part because we thought we had learned the lessons of history. Socialism was inherently evil and synonymous with bread lines, atheism, Soviet imperialism, and gulags.

But that was a simpler time, before Bernie gave Hillary Clinton a run for her money in 2016. It was before Donald Trump normalized his own brand of nationalist populism. And it was before Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) skyrocketed to fame in 2018, promoting a hipper brand of Sanders-esque socialism.

If this... https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/colorado-legislature-oks-changes-to-presidential-electors/2019/02/21/4184c04a-3622-11e9-8375-e3dcf6b68558_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.48fc0ab21834 absolutely UNCONSTITUTIONAL BASTARDIZATION of the ELECTORAL COLLEGE is ALLOWED to stand, then we will NEVER see another republican president. The republicans better put the fighting gloves on and STOP THIS, in the SUPREME COURT if necessary, OR, make any states votes that do not adhere to the electoral college rules NULL AND VOID in presidential elections. TWO CAN PLAY these games, but republicans sure the HELL better learn how to FIGHT.

I'm sick to tears of these GUTLESS, SPINELESS, YELLOW BELLIED PUSH OVERS that call themselves REPUBLICANS. They get PUSHED AROUND like PUSSIES from sun up to sun down, and they don't even have the BALLS to SUPPORT a republican president that IS willing to FIGHT. It's DISGUSTING beyond measure.

Democrats CAN'T WIN unless they CHEAT, and CHEAT is what they DO, and CHEATING is what they're WORKING ON RIGHT NOW for 2020.

Complacency is never called for. It is a great friend to the Left.

Can a guy who wrote that women fantasize about being raped win the Democrat nomination?
I can't imagine his female opponents letting that go.
