@Lash,
Quote:The Dem establishment wants to beat Bernie as much or more than they want to beat Trump.
Exceedingly stupid suggestion.
If Trump wins the next election, the entire Dem "establishment" (such as DNC) will be obliterated and no one's job or standing will be safe. The party will be, in fact, on the verge of collapse, not even to mention what will befall the country and world.
If Sanders gets the nomination and then runs, he will desperately need the organizing capabilities and funding that the DNC provides for Dem candidates everywhere because he'll need as much help from everyone as can be managed. He'll need to keep the House majority and he'll need every bit of energy possible to take the Senate away from McConnell's control. And in order actually change the direction of US politics, he will need a continuation of what happened last election where Dems increased their power in state capitals.
But you keep pushing Dems as the enemy rather than the GOP. It's why nobody trusts you, except perhaps Edgar.
