Integrity Disqualifies Sanders for White House
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)The Vermont Senator Bernie Sanderss potential bid for the 2016 Presidency was declared over, on Monday, before it even began, because of a key feature of the American political system that makes a person with integrity ineligible for the White House.
According to some experts, the electoral system has developed a number of safeguards over the past few decades to prevent someone with independence and backbone from occupying the Presidency.
Bernie Sanderss failure to become a member of either major political party excludes him from the network of cronyism and backroom deals required under our system to be elected, said Davis Logsdon, a political scientist at the University of Minnesota. Though that failure alone would disqualify Sanders, the fact that he is not beholden to a major corporate interest or investment bank would also make him ineligible.
