Dick Morris: Hillary Will Lose Nomination to Bernie Sanders

I am sourcing this from NewsMax because no other source will publish Morris these days.

Please note, Morris is ALWAYS WRONG:

Dick Morris: Hillary Will Lose Nomination to Bernie Sanders

Hillary Clinton will lose the Democratic nomination to Bernie Sanders — setting up a huge fight to "steal it by getting the super delegates" at the party's national convention next July in Philadelphia, political strategist Dick Morris predicted to Newsmax TV on Wednesday.

"Hillary is losing to Sanders," Morris told "Newsmax Prime" host Joe Pags. "There is one post-debate poll that shows the margin collapsing from 20 points to 15.

of Hillary Clinton coverage (unless it's negative); the influx of Sanders on weekend and weekday news shows and print coverage he's getting; the fact that renowned Republican strategists are even tweeting for Sanders; and the call for Operation Chaos 2016, even calling for Republican voters to donate to Sanders campaign.

The writing on the wall is in NEON and couldn't be clearer. They WANT Bernie Sanders to win the nomination because they're ready to tear him to shreds and get a Republican into the White House now that four Supreme Court Justices are set to retire in the next decade, and they want more Roberts and Alitos in those seats. Oh, and they want war with Iran and Syria.

The idiots at the National Review are now urging conservatives to support Bernie Sanders http://www.nationalreview.com/article/420262/bernie-sanders-republicans-myra-adams

Support Bernie Sanders!

This is a call to action for every Republican anxious to win back the White House in 2016. Bernie Sanders, the socialist U.S. senator from Vermont, is now surging in his quest to win the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. He is attracting media attention and large crowds, and is invigorated by a New Hampshire–primary poll showing him only 10 points behind frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

After a GOP power player sent me a piece from left-leaning Salon headlined “Hillary Clinton is going to lose: She doesn’t even see the frustrated progressive wave that will nominate Bernie Sanders,” my heart went pitter-patter, beginning to sense an opportunity. But it was not until I saw a headline in The Hill warning that the “Sanders surge is becoming a bigger problem for Clinton,” accompanied by “It may be time for Hillary Clinton to take the challenge from Sen. Bernie Sanders more seriously,” that I was truly motivated to join Team Bernie and rally my fellow Republicans to do the same.

The GOP is urging people to support sanders because the conservatives know that they can not beat Hillary Clinton. The author of this article actually made a contribution to Sanders.

Morris became a political adviser to the White House after Clinton was elected president in 1992. Morris encouraged Clinton to pursue third way policies of triangulation that combined traditional Republican and Democratic proposals, rhetoric, and issues so as to achieve maximum political gain and popularity.

Still, this entire thread is a display in bad logic- the core assertion being that someone who has been wrong or otherwise discredited in the past holds opinion X, therefore opinion X must be inherently suspect.

Even a cursory perusal with critical thinking skills will illuminate why this is faulty reasoning. Pat Buchanan opposing the Iraq War - which he did - had no relevance to whether or not opposition to the Iraq War was a good or defensible position, etc.
