2017
In his opinion piece for the Washington Post, dated August 11, 2017, Dana Milbank, astutely points out how “Things could go well for the Democrats in next year’s midterm elections — if they don’t Bern out.” [Washington Post]
My comment:
Bernie's misnamed "Our Revolution" is in essence an internecine insurgency on the Democratic Party. It's a divisive tactical blunder and disingenuous to his Independent brand. A transparent ploy to court Democratic high roller donors, while ostensibly rejecting big money. Being independent is just that. Can we say "third party," Bernie? Run on that, instead of running the party into the ground.
