Opinion | A Bernie Nomination Could Destroy the Left

Ted RallBernie Sanders’s emergence as the Democratic presidential front-runner is an amazing accomplishment for a socialist. But what if he wins the nomination and loses to Donald Trump?

Mr. Trump will be a formidable adversary. He’s an incumbent. He presides over a strong stock market and low unemployment, a rare period of mutual satisfaction on Wall Street and Main Street. He’s effectively unopposed for his party’s nomination and has a talent for getting under his opponents’ skin. And thanks to Democratic overreach, he can get...

opinion Warren2020!

opinion 50redstates

opinion Lol! Lunatic rightwing bird-cage liner shitting itself over threat of Sanders victory.

opinion he’s not “left”, he’s a socialist.

opinion Better bad for the party than for the country.

opinion Better translation: Bernie's decimation by Trump will make McGovern's loss look like a landslide win. The down side is unfortunately 4 more yrs of the worst Presidency ever. The up side is progressives will thankfully disappear into the wilderness for at least several decades.

opinion What rubbish. Not even a mention of the likely Democrat nominee, MikeBloomberg ?

opinion

opinion Gettin scared now aren’t we?! Encouraging stuff!

opinion man the hits never stop......

opinion Yeah, just like FDR completely destroyed the Democratic party. Right?

opinion There has never been a communist trying to take over America... Well except Kruschev, Gorbachov,Yeltsin & Putin and they wouldn't get many votes! Strange how Sanders gets Democrat Votes.

opinion Interesting move. Nominated Bernie Sanders. Lose the election. Win back the Democratic party.

opinion ah yes, always value the perspective of the wsj opinion page

opinion This is a really bad, poorly written, slanted article that delivers zero of the facts it promises.

opinion No worry. Bernie will be denied the nomination again.

opinion Then the entire country will be destroyed

opinion thusly the super delegate

opinion The Democrats have moved left giving the progressives more credence. The overriding question is whether the voters are out there with them. If they are not a centrist move will be made and it will be back to work for FDR's scions.

opinion If only the Wall St. Journal had written this article about TRUMP. Trump has destroyed America. The Wall St. Journal praises him. Now that’s right wing propaganda at its best.

opinion Too late. The Left has destroyed themselves.

opinion The elite fearmongering from the WSJ will never end.

opinion McGovern was taken down by the establishment.

opinion the writing is on the wall. bring back hill'

opinion Just read. Excellent

opinion Two things follow from this observation: 1) the WSJ, its owner and the author must be ecstatic!, because he is likely to be the nominee. 2) they must also do all in their power to get him to be the nominee :)

opinion Here's the truth. Ever since the 70s, America has veered so far to the right, that centrist Democrats today are to the right of where Republicans were back in the 60s on many issues. Bernie isn't radical. He's a return to the norm, to politics that benefits average workers.

opinion If Bernie is nominated and wins, it emboldens the left. In fact, it likely ends neoliberalism. onecandream

opinion And Ted Rall is right. Sanders atop the ticket will lose, not McGovern style but at least Michael Dukakis.

opinion Yup ok sure thing

opinion Nazi propaganda straigt from We will votebluenomatter who and save this country from Trump and the Nazis.

opinion Translation: Bernie has a great chance of beating Trump and the wealthy and corporations are really worried about losing tax cuts.

opinion Bernie is too far left and he has split the Democrats in two and paved the way for GOP candidate re-election. The right is now united. May it stay that way for the rest of my god given life.

opinion “I know nothing about history or the actual circumstances of the 1972 election” writes Ted Rall
