Laura Ingraham pumping Bernie on Fox

Any doubt the GOP wants to run against Bernie? She's not the only one on Fox pumping up Bernie. Bernie comes up quite often as the pundits claim he's the biggest threat to trump in the fall. Trying to set the democrats up for the kill. I hope enough of us aren't naïve enough to fall for the ploy.
Don't fall for it.

It's just as likely they're doing it to get Democrats to second-guess their choices. Reverse psychology. You honestly believe they are empathetic to Sanders? Really? And if they were? You'd honestly allow that to influence your choices? Really?

...scapegoating immigrants pushed by Lou Dobbs, Ann Coulter, Tucker Carlson. Steve King and Jeff Sessions.

It also seems like you are agreeing with what Lou Dobbs and Bernie are saying blaming immigrants for the troubles of American workers, which is just wrong and racist.

Bernie's validation and use of right wing attacks on Democrats is harmful to the left and this is particularly true with respect to immigration.

I guess he didn't know that the NLRB has determined that a union member has the right to speak to the press about their workplace issues, when he spoke out against them doing exactly that...

"It does bother me that people are going outside of the process and going to the media," he said. "That is really not acceptable. It is really not what labor negotiations are about, and it's improper."

Sun Tzu must be laughing in his grave at the idea it's irrelevant that Fox news is pushing Bernie, or that Trump is urging his fantatical supporters to vote in open primaries for Bernie Sanders.

How many rational faculties does one have to suspend in order not to get a clue?
