🚨 Bernie drops out of Presidential Race
« on: April 08, 2020, 03:26:35 pm »
Sen. Bernie Sanders has dropped out of the 2020 presidential race.

After early triumphs in the Democratic primary, the independent from Vermont failed to pull away from former Vice President Joe Biden as a wide field dwindled. Sanders saw success from Iowa to New Hampshire, Nevada, Colorado and California.

But he fell behind in the national delegate race as prominent Democrats, worried that he could become their nominee and face President Donald Trump in November, coalesced around Biden. After a string of primaries in mid-March, the former vice president racked up pledged delegates and became the race’s clear front-runner.

I know this is just my off beat sense of humor...but in my mind I see Bernie leaning back in his recliner thinking "Thank goodness I lost Wisconsin! I was looking for a way out! Pandemic...possibility of an economic crisis? Take it away Joe."

Ancient 78-year-old Sanders steps aside for youthful 77-1/2-year-old Biden. When Biden picks the Hilldebeaste to be his running mate, will this be the first all septuagenarian ticket?

Bernie's political career is now over.  Finally!  You can bet AOC is next.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Two corrupt and despicable bumbling blockheads ... just what this country doesn't need.  No way is he going to select her as she would make him look like the idiot that he is and I don't think she'd accept -- her health isn't going to allow her.

Well, he knows out of the two of them Biden is the more corrupt.  Biden's running mate will determine whether or not Trump needs to worry.

Still don't mean that the Dis-Loyal Opposition won't do to Shortbus Joe what they did to Thomas Eagleton.

Nobody votes for the VP.  Biden as out of touch as he is, is less scary to moderate voters than Sanders.

I have mixed feelings on this.

Bad feelings first.  Bernie staying in keeps the citizenry aware of the proponents of socialism as Bernie and his like proudly carry it on their chest like a medal of honor.  Now there will be more of a subterfuge socialism carried by Biden or whoever the Dems nominate, incrementalism by dying of a thousand socialism cuts one might say rather than the whole shebang at once.  The subterfuge strategy is much more dangerous as it has a better chance of reaching the same goals with a different modus operandi.

The other bad news is that this just might mitigate Bernie being a 3rd party spoiler for the Dems similar to Nader in 2000 and 2004 who denied Dem votes to Gore and Kerry.

Now the good news.  I think in a head to head matchup with Biden and no Bernie 3rd party, the chances of Trump getting the popular vote majority rather than just a plurality is strengthened.  It is wonderfully ironic if Trump could get the majority popular vote and those states that signed up for National Popular Vote Interstate Compact have their electoral votes go to Trump.

For example, I bet there would be some decidedly irate true libs in the state of California if the state awarded its electoral votes to Trump in spite of California citizenry overwhelmingly casting ballots for the Dem ticket.
