Let me get this straight. He wants to win the Democratic nomination on a platform of attacking the Democratic Party?

I know Richard Ojeda and I was very let down when he started faking his Trump support the day after the 2016 election.

Trump ran bashing the GOP and didnt stop bashing them after he won.

There's no excuse in the world that will let the people who are feeling oppressed by Trump (like myself) vote for you. This gal will not vote for you. It might work in West Virginia, but it won't work across the country.
