If we are going to defeat Trump in 2020, we are going to have to have unity among Team Blue. That doesn’t mean we can’t have a vigorous primary. But on the occasions when Grandmaster Kos pops up these days it’s usually to throw shade on Bernie as today when he did a deeper than usual dive into the digits to prove that Bernie is merely human.
I was a big Bernie supporter last time. As of now he is one of approximately 20 candidates for the Democratic nomination that I will willingly support. I’m not interested in re-litigating the 2016 primary. I certainly know where Kos was on that. But can we — especially the one of us who is an important thought leader running the most important Democratic website — put aside his antipathy for Bernie for the good of party and country?
The simple fact is that Bernie has as good a chance as anybody of being our nominee — even if Kos slams him every single day. To be honest, I’m kinda rooting against Bernie in the interest of party unity. So let’s have a good clean primary, see what everybody’s got, and may the best candidate win the primary… and general election!
