The Nuclear Option

Some time around the end of last November we started to see a few articles like this:
Waiting for Obama

With typical quotes like these:

Publicly, he has been clear that he won’t intervene in the primary for or against a candidate, unless he believed there was some egregious attack. “I can't even imagine with this field how bad it would have to be for him to say something,” said a close adviser. Instead, he sees his role as providing guardrails to keep the process from getting too ugly and to unite the party when the nominee is clear. There is one potential exception: Back when Sanders seemed like more of a threat than he does now, Obama said privately that if Bernie were running away with the nomination, Obama would speak up to stop him.

I remember reading those headlines at the time, thinking, if he steps in to stop Bernie publicly, it will destroy his legacy. And if there is one thing Obama cares about, it's his legacy.

It's time for Bernie to throw in the towel

Bernie can't win. You know it's true.
Oh sure. He won the first two states, and every candidate on modern history that has won the first two states went on to win the nomination.
And Bernie has a huge lead in recent nationwide polls.
And Bernie has won almost every head-to-head matchup against trump for five years.

But Bernie can't win.
Why? Because all the media pundits, political insiders, and wealthy elites say it, and they can't all be wrong.

What if Bernie doesn't win, then what?

Being the Danny downer that I am now days, I don't believe for one second, Bernie will win, either the democratic nomination, much less the presidency. I'm making this wildly bold prediction because, I'm hoping my track record of making bold predictions holds true..., ie my bold predictions are usually wrong, and Bernie wins! (Told ya I'm nutz...)

Will Bloomberg be the Overnight Sensation Come Super Tuesday?

He's coming March 3rd. Be scared, be very scared. Be angry, very angry. As much as I'd like to go to a ridiculously priced Rage Against the Machine concert (and I really, really, really want to go see them), I'm gonna donate money to Bernie instead. Please vote for the only possible left alternative to Bloomberg and Trump. It's our chance of a lifetime. Think we can wait another four years or more? I don't.

Here We Go Again - Culinary Union Sautés Bernie Sanders

The politically influential Culinary Union in Nevada released a statement on Wednesday claiming that its members have been “viciously attacked” by supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. after the union publicly warned its members against backing a candidate in the state’s Democratic caucus who supports “Medicare-for-All.”
