I already see the Bernie supporters crowing in the Election Live Blogs and in community diaries about how Bernie would have won. So can I just ask you all a quick question: “Why didn’t he then?”
If Donald J Trump, a man who most probably has an elementary school level intellect and very well may be mentally ill could beat the “rigged” establishment, why couldn’t our precious Progressive savior? Is it really because a few internal DNC emails were disparaging of him? Is that what held Bernie back?
If Bernie is so brilliant, why could he not energize his revolution to the same extent that Trump clearly energized his? How is this argument not like a Seahawks or Cardinals fan talking about how they would have beat Denver in the SuperBowl last year?
Seriously, I’d really love to know. I voted for Bernie by the way, but when he lost I rallied around the nominee who beat him. She beat him. So how exactly would he have beat the candidate who beat the candidate who beat him? Seems like a stupid argument to me.
