(CNN)The Senate on Tuesday passed and will send to the White House a broad defense policy bill that would block the President from bringing terrorism suspects held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the United States.

Unknown is whether President Barack Obama -- who made closing the detention center a key campaign promise -- will veto the bill or sign it despite the Gitmo restrictions.

The overwhelming and bipartisan vote was 91 to 3, which means it has more than enough supporters to override a presidential veto.

Why am I posting this in GDP? It's simple. This is establishment politics at its worst. This is what Bernie is campaigning against, and when he calls for a Political Revolution, it's to get rid of representatives who vote to keep Guantanamo open. It's to vote *for* candidates who want real progressive change in this country.

This campaign isn't just about Hillary vs. Bernie. It's about The Establishment vs. Bernie and the rest of us.

1. But it's the endorsements

that count from these so called representatives.

2. Disgusting. It shows that we don't just have to elect Bernie but so many of those currently

serving as Dems also need to be replaced.

Obama should veto it, then it will be more difficult for Dems to over ride his veto.

Elections are coming up, they know the people are watching.

Dems stopping the President from keeping a campaign promise, should be primaried.
