I like Bernie. He says a lot of good stuff. But he can’t win the nomination and he can’t be President. He could usher in Jeorge Bush III. But don’t take my word for it read Nate Silver, the best political stats guy out there. Now a lot of Sander’s supporters will think I just said I’m against him. They should start over from the beginning. Sanders cannot win. Neither can you — doesn’t mean I don’t like you. Can we get that straight?
That leaves two possibilities, Bush III or Hillary Clinton. They’ve got the money. Now Sanderites will say I’m for money politics. No. That’s just how it is—until we change that, which won’t be next year. So here’s the deal. Clinton is in the toughest political fight ever to keep the Republican/TeaParty (with $889 billion from the Kochs) from controlling all of Congress, the White House and the Supreme Court.
So is Bernie going to help Clinton or help the Tea Party Republicans take over. It’s up to him and it’s up to you. If you’re not sure, I suggest you read up a little on the Bush Dynasty and their Mr. Nice Guy routine.
zFact: Bernie can’t win, so he’ll be helping Clinton or Republicans.

I like you too. Sadly, none of us can win the presidency. You can imagine the festival of attacks on “Communist” Bernie if he were to gain the nomination. So will you put a word in to Bernie and tell him not to attack Hillary? I must say, on first looks, you make a lot of sense.

Enjoyed your blog. Certainly way more objective than most. I’m more optimistic about Bernie. Never say never!
