Daily Banter: It's Time for Bernie Sanders To Face Reality and Avoid Going Scorched Earth

Another great read from Chez Pazienza, whom I may not agree with in matters of faith, but whom I ADORE in political op ed.

The article also makes a very good point about Trump and the media, namely, while we Dems are busy focusing on one another, Trump has quietly begun a pivot to the GE and, like a chameleon, is changing colors to suit the setting. At this point, every ounce of hatred leveled at Hillary by Bernie Sanders and his followers is helping the GOP and by extension putting the entire country (and beyond) in very real danger. A Trump presidency would make the Dubya years look like frigging Woodstock in comparison. Nothing y'all don't already know, but I for one am getting a tad nervous. I may live abroad, but damn, I still love the Motherland and couldn't bear to see her go down in flames with that neon buffoon at the helm.

Bernie Sanders isn't going to win the Democratic nomination and he isn't going to win the presidency. Short of a bolt of lightning coming out of the sky and striking her dead, Hillary Clinton is going to get the nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. She almost certainly isn't going to be indicted, regardless of what apparently insane people like perennial Sanders fabulist H.A. Goodman says, and she isn't going to somehow begin losing by double digits in nearly every single remaining primary state, which is what it would take for Sanders to pull out a win in pledged delegates. Also not going to happen: Sanders's team isn't going to be able to convince the landslide of superdelegates he'd need to win to jump ship from Clinton at the convention. These are the facts and believing anything else at this point is pure, delusional denial.
