Because if Bernie Wins, and the Republicans keep Congress, everyone gets what they want: The smoldering fires of discontent on the left are temporarily quenched; The Tea Party can keep their cash cow without having to produce anything; And, the Ruling Elite get even less government by way of four more years of debilitating deadlock.
Bernie is the most logical choice for the Oligarchs. He’s the perfect socialist silhouette for the Tea Party gun range. Though Hillary and Bill are also fabulous targets for right-wing foolishness they are too skilled at building coalitions in Washington, they might actually produce something. Besides, the machine gun of smear is getting worn out after 25 years of Clinton blasting. Of course, any of the Republicans would be a complete disaster in the Oval Office because they would have to actually give the wing-nuts some of the crazy shit they want, which could be catastrophic in unpredictable ways. Note: Catastrophic isn’t as bad as unpredictable from a business point of view. You can actually get rich from a predictable catastrophe. Not only that, but if the Republicans win it all, the war is over, the illusion of hope is dead, and the means of distraction from our collective desolation is gone. With hope vanquished, the American People would certainly rise up and oligarch beheadings wouldn’t be far behind.
Just sayin.
