“I know Bernie, and I think he’s a good man — and I think he’d be a good running mate,” said Sally Gibson, a retired teacher supporting Clinton.

But he should announce the affiliation of his possible choice of running mate. And as soon as possible.

Something like:

"And just so their are no questions, I will pick a Progressive Democrat as my running mate, that you can count on.... and I have plenty of inspiring options at my disposal"

Probably better than doubling down would have been, but the damage is still already done.

If she does nothing to denounce that or ask them to stop she endorses it. Period.

Even if he isn't able to get much of his agenda through Congress, his election would be a signal to future candidates that it isn't political death to fight for economic justice.

eventually, one day, actually be able to enact his policies.

I strongly believe this, and this is why I so passionately argue for him.

We will be nowhere closer to enacting (Bernie's/many of ours) preferred policies at the end of a Hillary Presidency. Her Party Chair will continue to recruit "pro-business" Democrats. The Senate will be just as littered with neo-liberal Democrats then as it is now.

We have to START the process one day of getting this Party back to the Party of FDR. If we don't start now with Bernie (and HIS Party Chair) we will be waiting another decade. That is going to be devastating for so many people ultimately.

That is all this is.

Have the darling surrogates turn it up.

Despicable.

"I won't try cuz' it's too hard."


Yeah, that'll pump up those sagging numbers!

Fighting what was then the best trained army in the world.

FDR never said that as a stock market crash and the Dust Bowl had the country circling the drain.

Bernie Sanders never said that, through thirty years of neo-liberal and RW control.

So now not only does she take the "hit" for being so negative, she also loses any benefit for going that negative to begin with.

Why on Earth does anyone think she's a good candidate? "Inevitability" as your strategy in your second presidential campaign???? Then "Hopes and dreams? We can't have those. We can only dream of what the Republicans let us do". Now this scorched-Earth followed by "nevermind!!"

FFS, fire all your staff and bring in people who know what the hell they are doing.
