Add Republican operatives to the list of strong Bernie Sanders supporters in the Democratic primary, along with progressive activists and young voters.

A super-PAC founded by Republican billionaire Joe Ricketts is making its first foray into the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, spending $600,000 on a television ad in Iowa calling Sanders "too liberal," according to the New York Times.

1. Republicans want the WEAKER candidate. (The same way that Claire McCaskill wanted the weaker Aiken.)

... and as we can see, such a strategy worked out very well for her.



Note to Jury: This post is merely a comment on the strategy that some candidates use. Namely, that they "choose their opponent" by offering various forms of "assistance" to the potential adversary that appears to be the weakest or the easiest to defeat. This is not a broad-brush attack on any candidate. No candidate's policies or actions are being compared to Aiken.

2. Exactly what we have been saying, Bernie denies super pacs but we know super pacs are working for

his ability to defeat Hillary for the DNC nomination. We have seem his past response to aid to win elections in the past. He would be dancing with them all the way.

3. Down here in the presently Deep Red South...

many Democrats regularly crossover to the open Republican Primaries to vote for the most beatable Republican which is often the most moderate centrist Republican - and occasionally the most bat-shit crazy Republican!

Is this allowed as another way for the political system to avoid extremist takeovers of members-only Parties?

You bet it is!

So when I see one party trying to pick the other parties nominee, it is a good guideline for which candidate they fear the most!

4. Oh dear, Justin.. you have been alerted on by someone who monitors our group and sent

another SOP.

I can assure this person a-gain that we can take care of our own business here in Hill's Group. We don't need them lurking and trying to tell us what we can or cannot discuss.

Got it?

Hey Aloha, Justin

5. I wonder if they alert on Sanders supporters in the Sanders room when they discuss Hillary.

I doubt it.

6. Of course not.. but jolly good question! It's the last alert I want to see from that person.
