Yet Another Attempt to Discredit Bernie Sanders

This sounds like the same kind of shit I have to put up with from the Clintonistas here on this forum.

And yet they want "Party Unity"

But perhaps more pernicious than the strange, speculative musings and left-right combos coming from the anti-Sanders crowd are the flippant dismissals of Sanders's platform, one that contains elements that liberals are usually happy to embrace: Like, say, single-payer healthcare, (much) higher taxes on the wealthy, and an overhaul of the nation's disastrous campaign finance system.

Some commentators, in the face of a politician who seems genuinely determined to move forward with the agenda he has articulated throughout his campaign, have twisted themselves into knots to justify their emphatic rejection of the most progressive candidacy in recent history.

Sanders lost. Get over it. He's irrelevant, whether he knows it or not.

Its June, the general election is in November. About 4.5 months to go. Plenty of time for both presumptive nominees to implode, self-destruct, or collapse under the weight of their own baggage. That's what makes this particular election cycle so much fun to watch.

I will let Bob respond to your backhanded comparison of Hillary to The Donald since I like them both equally well.

The only on topic response I have is, Bernie who?

If Bernie is a 'who' then Trump is a 'why' and Hillary is a 'what'.

One needs to be pretty slow and dim witted to believe in Hillary, so I am pitching at your speed. You can always catch it and toss it back if you don't like it.
