1. Some ugly truth from Steve Bannon. nt

2. I caught a few minutes of Ben Shapiro's show yesterday while trying to get local news and weather on

the radio, and Shapiro was just gleeful over the prospect of Bernie being the Democratic nominee.

10. Of course they are

Running a socialist who antagonizes the groups within the Democratic Party is a Repub's wet dream.

3. If I wrote this it would be deleted

5. Doubt it. It shouldn't be deleted no matter who posts it. The fact that Republicans

are making it clear they'd like to run against Sanders IS relevant. And they've been making that clear for close to a year now. Politico ran a story on it last spring.

Editing to link to that story:

14. Yes

Relevant and so clearly obvious. Its not like they are pretending they want Bernie to be the nominee. They couldn't be more obvious if they commissioned thousands of billboards.

4. Of course he does

For the same reason Trump likes him

6. It's been the same formula everywhere

Turn the left against the center, turn it into a knife fight, scream about unfairness, insert the far right populist, and ta da: you've split the opposition while fanning enthusiasm on the right.

That some of the genuinely left people (lots of the endless attackers from the supposed left are actually agents of this strategy, like Jill Stein, etc.) don't seem to process this is just sign and symptom of how thoroughly defeated the left has been since the 1970s.

It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better, if it ever gets better in this era.

8. Warren severely criticized Obama -- and Clinton by association -- right up to November 2016

over trade. She was wrong.

Can't put a number on it, but it darn sure didn't help Clinton or Democrats in general.

7. I would NEVER trust Steve Bannon

[BusyBeingBest]

9. This bloated slab of liver failure

is just trying to mind-fuck Democrats. Some of us were like this with Karl Rove, too, always trying to decipher his pronouncements because we were convinced he was brilliant. I'm certain he enjoys it though.

11. Steve Bannon wants to divide us, and so does trump. People are falling for this trap. So obvious.

Truly bizarre that some here are promoting the ploy

[k2qb3]

12. I'm sure Bannon is being perfectly honest, we should definitely let him pick the nominee. n/t

16. "The greatest gift a politician can have is the ability to pick their opponent"

Our enemy wants Sanders as their opponent.

Why should we giving them what they want?

[walkingman]

13. It amazes me that on a Democratic forum we spend our time attacking our own candidates instead of

focusing on the real enemy which in case you've forgotten is the GOP and their master Donald Trump.

[scheming daemons]

17. Didn't attack him. I post what the opponent said about him.

There's no attack anywhere in the OP.
