So…. Nancy Pelosi is AGAINST, YAWP AGAINST direct cash payments to you and me.
And there are JUST BARELY enough delegates left to put Bernie Sanders ahead of Joe Biden.
Oh, and even Stu Rothenberg, Yurp Stu R, is admitting the presidential contest now leans Democratic.
Hmmm….
(Conflict of Interest Statement: I am an American taxpayer who would benefit by several thousand dollars if the ‘Romney/Everybody-Except-Pelosi’ Plan to make direct payments were to be enacted.)
LATER EDIT:
Okay, to repeat some essentials here.
1. I’m not even a Bernie supporter. See comments. Cope. Take a deep breath.
2. One of the most popular diaries today is suggesting that Trump is infected and lied about it.
3. Wow, feel the burn...ing rage against Sanders ! ! ! I never had a trace of sympathy for so called “Bernie Bros” (if they even exist). But the level of anti-Bernie rage I’m picking up here is really distressing. Try to calm it down people!
4. One really good comment: Underwear Gnomes Business Strategy, what’s the relationship from Nancy to Bernie? Answer: Biden doesn’t jump on the bandwagon and Bernie does… then Nancy lets “MY” 3-5000$ slip away. That’s the kind of thing that might (very might) drive Dems to Sanders. Capisce?
EVEN LATER EDIT:
5. “And FWIW, former Obama adviser Jason Furman actually proposed similar idea (on cutting checks) during a private House Dem Caucus meeting last week and Pelosi got up after and essentially shot the idea down.” Please see the first link above.
6. We all *THINK* Pelosi will get on board? I mean, she isn’t *THAT* much pro-wall street.
7. I suspect that all the vitriol is because, naive naif that I am, I didn’t realize that maybe ANY blog with the word “Sanders” in it causes controversies?
8. I’m going to take my own advice and step away from the keyboard for a while. Since I’m NOT going to be watching anyway, perhaps posters could avoid the use of insults, expletives, and the like?
9. “BIDEN” had an early lead, around 90%. It seems to be slipping as people relax about this post, but he’s still easily holding his own as of 5:30PM MST.
