Sanders Is Taking Dem Support For Granted [View all]

It's clear that Sanders has no respect for Ds who are not supporting him. He is asking the super delegates to overturn the clear preference of a multi-million number of Ds who have put Hillary in a daunting lead and to switch their votes to him. He is also expecting that all other Ds would still vote for him even if he somehow sabotaged Hillary's primary victory.

In other words, Sanders believes that he can disparage the Party, call the D nominating process a rigged system, call any Ds who don't support him part of a corrupt establishment, aver that the D Party doesn't watch out for the middle class, and yet after all that, we're supposed to fall in line as good Ds and vote for Sanders for president based on the simple truth that a Trump presidency is unthinkable.

Well, while that might have been true 8 months ago, I'm not so sure now, now that Sanders has gone off the deep end and is acting quite despotic himself. As Sanders is fond of saying, a lot can happen in 6 weeks, and while I have never voted for an R in my life, I might be open to looking at a non-D candidate were the RNC to somehow dump Trump and replace him with, say, a Michael Bloomberg-type candidate. At least Bloomberg WAS a D for a lot longer than Sanders has been a D (he's an Indy these days). At least he doesn't play the victim.

I just find it offensive that Sanders feels he can tear down rank-n-file Ds on a daily basis while assuming we'd all vote for him were he somehow to steal the nomination from Hillary.
