“if HRC loses, plan B is the Dems will lose 45 states—sanders cannot sell an $18.5 trillion tax increase. fantasy.”
You see, in our right-of-center society, where presidential campaigns are reduced to what can fit on a bumper sticker, $18.5 trillion for a socialist paradise is an easy target. One billion GOP dollars would pretty well finish off the Democratic Party if that were our program for America.
But the occupants of Daily Sanders believe that America is dying to become Finland, and HRC’s modest steps to address the wealth gap and plug holes in the social safety net, are heresy. And things like Sanders having almost 0 support in minority communities [after trying to get a Democrat to challenge Obama in 2012 and dissing most of our President’s achievements], or the 1972 article Sanders published where he postulates that women fantasize about being raped by 3 men at once—those details are ignored, because America so desires to become the Paris Commune that the billions the GOP will spend, shoving Sanders’ 1972 article and his $18.5 trillion tax increase down our throats, will come to naught.
Personally, an $18.5 trillion socialist agenda doesn’t scare me—it would not affect me in my low income bracket. And I accept Sanders’ apology for that stupid 1972 article on rape. But most voters don’t know him, and this is all they’ll ever learn about him, should he become the nominee—which is unlikely.
So in the reality-based community, outside the Bernie-bubble, we join Planned Parenthood and just about every other member of the Democratic coalition, to help an electable Democrat get sworn in a year from now. There aren’t hundreds of hours of Youtube videos of HRC, slamming the Democratic Party for selling out America—as there is for Bernie Sanders. Which, of course, makes him the GOP dream candidate to run against.
They’d only have to use his own Youtube videos, his 1972 article, and the number $18.5 trillion against us, over and over, as much as a billion dollars of advertising can buy. Nothing else would matter. Although the unreality-based community at Daily Sanders would HR anyone who would point out that we’d be on track to lose 45 states, even up to Ted Cruz’s victory speech on election night next November.
