Sanders Damages Party
The more Sanders complains, the
angrier I get. This close to the Convention and Sanders is still trying to crap
on Hillary’s moment. He claims he supports Clinton but all he does is give more
reasons for his supporters to riot at the Convention. Words are not enough.
Action is the only thing that counts now.
Sanders is lending support to
Donald Trump. Trump is blowing this Email thing up to its maximum and Sanders
is providing gun powder for the opportunist, Donald Trump. Sanders has provided
many talking points for Trump in the General Election. Sanders is demonstrating
once again he is more interested in his own ego than he is in defeating Donald
Trump.
I am sick and tired of Democratic
leaders treating Bernie Sanders with kid gloves. Either he declares himself a
Democrat right now or he doesn’t speak at the convention. He must withdraw his
demand that Wasserman is removed. He must stop crying how he was mistreated by
Democrats and end his allegiance with Donald Trump. Sanders must stop the
protests building up at the Democratic National Convention by his followers.
His allegiance with Donald Trump is
based on both men using the same talking points to attack Hillary. As a matter
of fact, Bernie has led the way with his personal attacks and Trump simply
followed Bernie’s lead. There are Trump talking points that would not exist if
Bernie had not voiced his complaints first. Demonstrations by Bernie’s supporters
at the national Convention are for the benefit of Donald Trump.
Bernie Sanders campaign is over. He
must stop attacking the Democratic Party and our nominee Hillary Clinton. It is
time the Democratic Party treat Bernie Sanders for what he is. Bernie Sanders
is an enemy of the Democratic Party. He is part of Donald Trump’s campaign.
Bernie Sanders is an enemy of Hillary Clinton.
Bernie Sanders needs to be expelled
from the convention before it starts. This is especially true if Bernie does
nothing to stop the demonstrations by his supporters. The language explaining
his expulsion, should be harsh as the language I am using now.
Any protests at the Democratic
National Convention is Sanders fault. Anymore attacks by Donald Trump using
talking points provided by Sanders, is Bernie’s fault. Democrats must rally
around Debbie Wasserman Schultz, not Bernie Sanders. Debbie is a long time
Democrat and should not be punished to appease a person who is an enemy of the
Democratic party.
It is only my opinion but I believe
Debbie Wasserman Schultz and many people in the DNC realized they had made a
mistake very early, after they approved Bernie’s participation the Democratic
Party’s nomination process. From the beginning, it was evident Bernie was not a
friend of the Democratic Party.
However, the DNC had made the
mistake and couldn’t go back on what they had done. Over time, Bernie Sanders
became increasingly hostile to the Party and to Hillary Clinton. As the
Primaries progressed, it became evident that Democrats were not voting for
Sanders. Bernie’s support came primarily from non-Democrats (including
Republicans) in open Primary states where anyone could vote.
The prospect of having an
Independent Socialist with ties to Communists, represent the Democratic Party
in the general election could not be tolerated by the DNC. Background research
on Bernie Sanders exposing his history with Socialism and Communism was also
available to the Republicans. That’s why Republicans wanted to run against
Sanders.
If Bernie Sanders had become the
Democratic Nominee for President, the Republicans would have torn Bernie
Sanders to shreds and the Presidency would have been handed to the Republicans
regardless of who their nominee was.
This country will never elect an admitted
Socialist and upon exposure of Bernie’s communist connections in his early
years, Bernie would not have stood a chance in the General Election. In
addition, though a smaller issue for Democrats, Bernie’s religious beliefs have
come into question. This is not a small issue for Republicans. I have
personally seen an interview in which Bernie is asked directly, “do you believe
in God”? He clearly said, “NO”!
I believe Hillary and the DNC knew
about the “NO” answer. But, Hillary had too much class to use his answer as a
political tool. That is why you saw the issue of Bernie’s beliefs come up in
the DNC Emails. However, Trump and the Republicans possess zero scruples and
would have used that hammer if Bernie had become the nominee for the Democrats.
You better believe the Republicans know about Bernie’s beliefs.
Combined with the hammers of “Socialist”
and “Communist”, the “Atheist” sign hung around Bernie’s neck would have killed
him in the general election. If anyone thinks this country would elect a
Socialist with Communist ties who is also an Atheist, you are dreaming. Don’t believe
for one second Bernie’s denials would have made any difference. The Republicans
are very good at manipulating public opinion with lies. Sanders would have been
destroyed.
Democrats and Republicans think
alike on things like this. Both Parties measure who can win and who can lose
and provide their support to the candidate with the best chance of winning.
Both Parties also have hopes the other party will nominate someone with the
least chance of winning. Republicans were licking their chops with the prospect
of Bernie Sanders and Democrats (including Debbie) wanted to deny them their
meal ticket.
If the DNC actively worked against
Bernie Sanders, it was for good reason. Not able to admit their mistake by letting
him run in the first place, they began to do damage control within their own
circles. The DNC could not allow Sanders to gain the Party’s nomination
considering where much of his support came from the negatives Republicans would
most assuredly use.
Bernie Sanders would have been a
disaster for the Democratic party. The Republicans would have been cut loose to
destroy this nation. There was too much at stake for the DNC. They had to
undermine the Socialist, Bernie Sanders.
If Hillary had campaigned against
Sanders in the same manner Republicans would have, Sanders would not be a
factor today. President Obama and Hillary Clinton both have the same problem.
They are too nice!
It is only my opinion, but, Debbie
Wasserman Schultz should be scolded for allowing Bernie Sanders to run on the
Democratic Ticket in the first place. By the same token, she should also be
commended for recognizing her error early and trying to do something about it.
If Debbie was working in favor of Hillary, she was doing it for the good of the
Party and our nation. That’s why I support Debbie Wasserman Schultz. We need
more Democrats like her.
