In reply to the discussion: Sanders: Democratic Convention Could Be 'Messy' [View all]PBass
(1,537 posts)47. I remember when DU was outraged because Jon Soltz lost the OH primary to Sherrod Brown.
Only Jon Soltz was a true liberal! Sherrod Brown was going to be a disaster in the Senate!
Turns out Sherrod Brown is one of the most liberal senators we have. He's awesome.
It was a similar story when Al Franken ran for Senate. He was a 3rd Way triangulator, etc etc. Turns out he is a reliably liberal voice in the Senate.
I think we will be fine if Hillary is president. Especially if we can get some additional Democrats into the Congress. The idea that ONLY Bernie Sanders is liberal enough to be a good Democratic president is patently false.
Lets get the money out of politics, that will go a long way towards solving our problems.

You said SANDERS wants a riot, then post other people's words. A failed lie in a long line of them.

Anyone who could make it 'messy' will never see the inside of the convention.
