Bernie Sanders supporters in Iowa are warning that a lack of enthusiasm for Joe Biden could bring the same result the nomination of another milquetoast Democrat did four years ago: electing Donald Trump.
Sanders backers fret the socialist Vermont senator, 78, is being consistently ignored and underestimated by Beltway insiders and a Washington-based press corps. The same bunch, in their view, who failed to predict Trump's 2016 White House win and were sure Hillary Clinton, who beat Sanders for the Democratic nomination, would easily prevail.
They're particularly steamed Sanders, a socialist who has been in Congress since 1991, isn't getting his due though

At election time, the best thing for Communist wanna-bes to do with their hands is to sit on them.

That's pretty much what happened with the Republican nominations of McPain & Pierre Delecto.
I voted for them, but had to use a clothespin on my nose.

....and the centrists will boycott the election if the Democrats nominate a Communist as their choice for President.

My dream scenario? Howard Schultz jumping in as a third party candidate. Remember how badly that scared the DNC when he threatened that last year? Schultz has the youth, the social chops and eve nbusiness experience that all the others lack.
He is no Trump, but he is not a commie like Bernie either. Far as I can see, he is the one democrat that could actually run a decent race against Trump. Plus he would split the democrat vote and that is a good thing.

Isn't it wonderful. Dems pick a centrist and the left stays home. Dems pick a radical centrist, the moderates and center dems vote for Trump. Either way the Dems loose, and America WINS!

Project Veritas released video of Sander's campaign staffer Kyle Jurek stating unequivocally that if Sanders was not nominated as the Democratic candidate, then Milwaukee will burn and police will be beaten. Yesterday, Breitbart news reported that Jurek had been arrested for probation violation, possession of drug paraphernalia, and DWI. I think that Bernie will NEVER be nominated and that this time there very well may be violence.

The only problem with this scenario is that no “centrist” Democrats are running for President.

After Liz Warren reads this she's going to declare that she can be as crazy and off her rocker like Bernie Sanders to pander for votes. The crazies want their crazy person and Joe Biden, the push up king, is not it. Bernie Sanders is defining the party and the left and I'm enjoying it to the fullest.

This is great news. The left will be cautious, go with Biden and the Sander's loonies will stay home on election day...could it get any better than this?

No worries there; there are no centrists in the party. They're all sold out, greedy power grubbing marxists.

And, if Sanders wins the nomination and the election, when he is president his thugs will attempt to put half the country in re-education camps -- at least according to one of his staffers. That's a democrat for you.

I thought they said "cities were going to burn" if they didn't get their way.

Yes! Those of his supporters who actually have homes should stay there! And the rest should stay in their little smelly little cardboard boxes on the sidewalks on voting day.

If we don't get our way, we will stay home (in our parent's basement) and hold our breath until we turn blue... waaa, waaa.

After the election is over I'm going to find out which bar Dyslexia-Occasionally-Cognizant is working at and ask her to make me a Bloody Mary That's BEFORE I put my MAGA Hat on. Don't want RAT poison in it.

Who needs a 3rd party. The Dems have 4 among themselves. From day one the ONLY thing that scares me is a Biden/Obama ticket because the LOFOS might actually get off their lazy butts just for the novelty of it. And I'm talking Mooch, not Barry for VP.

There are no real “centrists” left in the leftist and liberal Democrat Party, all are leftist liberals, so there is no chance of a legitimate “centrist” ever being nominated by today’s Democrat Party.

But what about that Sanders campaign worker who threatened that Milwaukee will burn?

I have no crystal ball. But this years micreants, known as democrats are the worst bunch of anti-American traitors I have ever seen in my lifetime. Even LBJ knew when his time was up.
