Growing up my mother always said “Never Pick Up A Hitchhiker-You Don’t Know Who You are Letting In”. I must admit I trusted her on this and never did pick up a hitchhiker. My sister on the other hand was always a free spirit and picked one up one time when I was riding with her. As it turned out-nothing happened and all was fine. However, a friend of mine in college at The University of North Texas decided to be a Good Samaritan and stopped to pick up a girl stranded with car trouble, got out of his car and then was surrounded by 3 men who beat him within an inch of his life before they stole his money and his car and literally left him for dead. He was lucky, he survived but spent months in the hospital.
My point is this. The DNC thought they were doing something good both for the Democratic Party and the Democratic Campaigns. But, Bernie Sanders has proven to be the spy you take in thinking they are a friend and you are helping them out. The kind of person you help get a job that ends up getting you fired and takes your position. The kind of person you recommend to friends to do home repair only to find out they robbed them while they left their home to pick up a child from school and come home to find everything they value gone.
It’s obvious that Bernie Sanders entered the race hoping to have a better chance as a Democrat than an Independent knowing he’d get better media coverage. What he did not expect was for his campaign to soar with his “Revolution” “The Top 1%” “Free College” and all of the other wonderful things you were going to get without paying a dime.
But we all know that’s now how the real world works. Nothing is Free and if someone guarantees you that-BUYER BEWARE- IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE THEN IT PROBABLY IS!
After Bernie Lost Kentucky it’s obvious something snapped. He did win Oregon but only netted 4 delegates. He realized at this point that it was absolutely impossible unless he unleashed his INSANE PLAN. LET’S NOT ONLY TRY TO DESTROY HILLARY CLINTONS REPUTATION BUT ALSO TAKE DOWN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
So now he is trying to take the Democratic Party Hostage. He has listed his demands and threats after realizing he is not going to win the Nomination. And Damn it to Hell-If I’m not going to Win I’m going to go down Fighting-No Matter the Cost.
In his speech and press release Sanders warned that Democrats risk losing the presidential election to presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump if they don’t make room for his supporters.
In his list of demands these are Bernie’s first of many : “Let me also say a word to the leadership of the Democratic Party,” Sanders said. “And that is that the Democratic Party is going to have to make a very profound and important decision. It can do the right thing and open its doors and welcome into the party people who are prepared to fight for real economic and social change. That is the Democratic Party I want to see.”
“I say to the leadership to the Democratic Party — open the doors, let the people in!” Sanders declared. “Or the other option for the Democratic Party, which is a sad and tragic option, is to choose to maintain its status quo structure.”
In today’s Mobile NYTimes Tad Devine, a senior adviser to Mr. Sanders, said the campaign did not think its attacks would help Mr. Trump in the long run, but added that the senator’s team was “not thinking about” the possibility that they could help derail Mrs. Clinton from becoming the first woman elected president.
“The only thing that matters is what happens between now and June 14,” Mr. Devine said, referring to the final Democratic primary, in the District of Columbia. “We have to put the blinders on and focus on the best case to make in the upcoming states. If we do that, we can be in a strong position to make the best closing argument before the convention. If not, everyone will know in mid-June, and we’ll have to take a hard look at where things stand.”mobile.nytimes.com/…
One of Bernie’s Surrogates: “We want to have progressive values and socialism on the convention’s agenda, rather than slip back into centrist Democratic thinking if she gets elected,” said Tick Segerblom, a state senator in Nevada and a Sanders supporter. “I think there could be some chaos at the convention – at least outside, with a lot of anarchists, socialists, young people.”
You can go back and find many argumentative articles if you google Jeff Weaver. Articles with Weaver spewing all kinds of NEGATIVES about Hillary Clinton,The DNC and Debbie Wasserman Schultz. He was quoted as saying "We can have a long conversation about Debbie Wasserman Schultz just about how she's been throwing shade on the Sanders campaign from the very beginning," This is probably the kindest thing he has said about Wasserman Schultz.
At his Rally today in Southern California this is how Sanders ended his speech: “Before we will have the opportunity to defeat Donald Trump, we’re going to have to defeat Secretary Clinton,” “Now some people say we’ve got a steep hill to climb and that’s absolutely true,” he continued. “But together we’ve been climbing that steep hill from day one in this campaign, and we’ll continue to fight for every last vote until June 14, and then we’ll take our fight into the convention.”
It is now apparent that Sanders is only about his “Own Agenda”. He knows that after the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia he will have used all his “POLITICAL VOICE” and will lose the respect and credibility he had with Democrats in the Senate and House. Sanders is now like the Bank Robber that has been caught inside the bank and is holding 10 million people hostage and threatening to shoot 1 every minute until you give in to his demands. This is the last and only time he will attract all the “Media Attention” he can demand and still get free advertising as his campaign dwindles.
Again REMEMBER- When you open that door and say “Where are you going? Would you like a lift”. YOU MIGHT BE THE ONE BEING TAKEN FOR A RIDE!
