Bernie's win in Indiana has added strength to my resolve to continue actively supporting him, not that I would have stopped anyway. Yet the thought that the Democratic establishment still continues to support the venal Clinton whose amoral, and often illegal policies, are a disgrace to the boy politic. Yes, Trump's public rhetoric is horrific--an out-and-out Fascist. But it is Hillary's not-so-hidden corporatism/militarism (i.e., Fascism) which is every bit as horrendous. She has merely been able, until quite recently to keep this under cover.

The momentum Bernie has reacquired should, and probably does, give the Democratic establishment pause for reassessment. Bernie keeps on rolling, with margins in double digits of HRC recently, although unfortunately not large enough to erase her pledged delegate lead. I am encouraged by his pledge to take his campaign to the Convention and continue to uphold his unabashed Progressive program.

Yet I am dismayed by those too blind or unwilling to perceive HRC's pervasive duplicity. They will stick by her to the end. That "end" at this point has many possibilities.
1. She could win the Democratic nomination at the convention, yielding a dichotomous result: Clinton victory versus Trump Victory.
2. Bernie could actually convince enough super delegates to relinquish their subservience to the Clinton machine in order to support him. One factor in this hoped for switch of allegiance could be, of all things, his perceived enhanced "electability" due to Clinton's growing unfavorable ratings. Another, although less likely factor driving such reversal of support, could the very momentum Bernie's campaign continues to manifest.
3. Indictment of Hillary and/or her aides by the DOJ due to her email scandal. (Don't anticipate any action by the FBI/DOJ in 2016 regarding the collusion/corruption issues of the Clinton Global Initiative, due to the immense number of documents to be read, digested, and archived (estimated at this time to be greater than 100,000)--far more than involved in the email fiasco.

Another possible advantage weighing on Bernie's behalf is that Clinton will have a two-front war to face. Coming at her from the Left is of course, Bernie. Simultaneously, now that he has the Republican nomination almost certainly locked up, is Donald Trump from the Right.

Unlike Bernie who has abrogated any personal attacks on the Medusa in the lead for this party's coronation, Mr. Trump will have absolutely no compunction about "civility". Hillary has so many targets on her she is like a walking political shooting range. Once the Republicans devote their full attention to the Medusa, which they are not yet doing because of necessity to reunite their party due to the fractiousness of their own primary, she will feel the heat--and the TONE! The Republicans WILL unite during their convention because there is one thing that all Republican can and do agree upon--hatred for Hillary.

Hillary has now self-inflicted another wound, an unforced error which shall not go unnoticed by both Progressives and Repressives: appealing to Jeb Bush donors for money. This supplication can only mean one or both of two things: she has spent so much money on fighting a battle so much more costly than she originally contemplated that her donors are tapped out. The second possibility is that she has no shame (as if there was any doubt) in beseeching Republicans for money. No matter how much she and her acolytes may spin this, no act can further induce the perception that she is not only a DINO but a center-right Republican.

The upshot off this blatant pandering to Republicans will be vicious attacks, rightfully earned, by Bernie supporters not officially related to his campaign. Bernie of course will probably take public notice of her latest duplicity, but will do so in a way as not to betray his profound decency. Many Bernie supporters have criticized him for being "too easy" on Hillary regarding the email scandal.

Really, how much can Democrats stomach of this outright greed, mendacity, and prevarication of the woman who wishes to move back into the White House? Sadly, I doubt that this latest Clintonian ploy will dissuade her supporters from her cause.

In the meanwhile, between now and the national convention in July, let us hope that Bernie's momentum continues to grow. Don't overlook, also, that the longer Bernie stays in the race, the more likely it becomes for down-ticket candidates to openly espouse his policies, abandoning establishment corruption.
