I’m trying. I’m really trying to understand the theory behind Bernie’s campaign.
I have to say Tad Devine's rrecent quote in the Huffington Post is ruining it for me.
He said:
We will turn the midterm elections in 2018 into the largest referendum in the history of midterms
Seriously, give me a break. The Democrats (plus Independents, including Sanders’s seat) will have to defend 25 seats in 2018. Compared with 8 the GOP will have to defend.
In a totally fantasy world, Dems could make a race of two of the GOP seats (NV and AZ). While the Dems will have to defend in MT, ND, MO, IN, WV, FL, VA, OH, PA, and ME.
Look, if Bernie wants my vote, his people need to cut the Kool Aide crap out, right now. The sun will rise in the east, spring follows winter, and Dems will be LUCKY to hold serve in 2018. Really LUCKY.
Stop treating voters like we’re moronic fools.
