Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Sanders Must Now Choose His Battlefield [View all]TomCADem
(17,576 posts)...then he will probably act in the following manner:
1. Say that he is interested in running to raise awareness of his issues, but the only issues that gets traction are his repeated attacks on Biden's character and motives.
2. Announcing repeated press conferences teasing that he may dropout only to announce that (surprise) he is staying in and he is doing it because his followers want him to do so.
3. Complaining about the how the media or the "establishment" are being so unfair and biased toward him and that he is not going to drop out until everybody appropriately kowtows to his changing demands.
4. Attack the primary process as rigged and say that "some people will say that if was not rigged, I would have the nomination."
The goal is to steal headlines and do things to keep himself and his various grievances in the public eye and damage Biden, so that if Biden wins, he will brag that he endorsed Biden at the last minute, and take the credit. Alternatively, if Biden loses, then he will attack the Democratic party as failing for not going far enough in embracing him.
If you assume that Bernie does not care about the people or about beating Trump, then it is pretty clear that he will act in the manner described above. So, don't fall for his act again.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
