(1,053 posts)I feel sorry for the guy that his campaign has attracted what it has.
At least when the Far Right and Republicans attracted the Tea Party element
and the like, they were asking for it (and the results are, and will continue
to be, deserved in that party).
I feel like so many in their brand of Left is so busy attacking every criticism
from the outside or treason (read "compromise" from the inside of their
group that they just don't have the time to build bridges, make friends,
and run a campaign.
...and of course, even if they can get Bernie in office (or "we", since I
would vote for him in the general), they'll be very disappointed when
they find out that running a nation means a mandate to compromise for
300 some million people...not a mandate to dictate from the platform
of your base.
