RE: Light Bulb: Establishment Realizes Bernie Could Win
When you say establishment that term applies to those within the political arena not constituents. Within the status quo yes they'd opt for Biden over Bernie, Bernie would be to much like Trump to them, maybe he won't try and expose their dirty underhanded corrupt practices but he'd definitely try and stem them. I don't think the population in Iowa though is going to bring forth Joe Biden as the top contender, I say this because the average (not hard core into their base) person whether democrat, republican or independent can justify excusing Joe Bidens behavior in Ukraine, to them what he said on video amounts to exactly that what the democrats are trying to impeach the president over. There's a lot of people out there that don't agree with a two tier justice system where some escape it while others don't. (Not that I think Trump did anything wrong). It would have been different had they even attempted to admit something didn't seem right with that but the democrats didn't. At this point it's really hard to tell whose going to swing out ahead. I don't think it will be Warren, even if the male population were going to put their backing behind a woman I think they view her, and, honestly I feel they are right, as a weak woman, she's also to emotional to handle the hard core decisions that would be needed on defense. Personally though I don't see anyone in the group capable of winning against Trump. What the democrats situation is is about where the republicans where during the last presidential election....at a loss to find someone who can win.
I think I've mentioned this before but that's why I claim Trumps election was carefully orchestrated behind the scenes using Bill O'Reilly's political ties and Trumps celebrity status. They carefully integrated Trump into O'Reilly's shows months prior. They planned this out to get 13 clowns in a clown car and have Trump take them down one at a time. The more he came out ahead the more people wanted to cheer him on. To me the plan was a long time ago to use Trump as a front man, they still do, he tweets and distracts everyone while Pence works behind the scene's closely with those in the Senate. It was a masterful plan and it worked.
