Weekend at Bernie's Great Weekend

Conservative friends of mine have told me to stop focusing
on the Republican primary. It’s a mighty fight between two anti-Establishment
titans. I am rooting for Cruz, and with all the negative press (Cruz with five
mistresses, and you know it must be true, because the National Enquirer said
so!), plus Donald Trump’s meltdown over losing Louisiana, this is going to be
one fun year.

As for the Democrats …

The Democratic Party has officially lost its mind, its way,
and its reason for being. The have gone anti-constitutional. Their
front-runner, losing her lead by the minute, is under federal investigation,
loves to bark on command, and has a number-one cheerleader in the most
anti-feminine of former Presidents.

As if George McGovern and Election 1972 wasn’t bad enough for
the Democrats. Fifty years later, and Democrats have become the party of the
Old, White, Statist, and Racist. OK, bad and ugly, too. Madam Hillary (notice
all those hookers in Nevada rooting for her) is willing to sell herself to Wall
Street, K Street, and on just about any corner to get a vote. Her challenger? An
ideologically brain-dead curmudgeon with a New York accent from New England,
where Republicans have gained Congressional seats and governorships for the
first time in decades. He was a draft-dodger, a kibbutzer, a welfare prince,
and now a radical wannabe socialist.

Ugh! It’s hard out there for a Democrat! What’s even sadder?
The old Vermonter had the better weekend of the two, with three wins in a row!
“Weekend at Bernie” Sanders is the life of the party now.

And what a weekend he had.

He scored big primary wins in Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington
State. Three different climates, three different political cultures, and all
major turnouts. These are YUGE victories. Yes, I wrote “yuge”. From the rainy,
to the snowy, to the tropical, the Independent-turned-Democratic Socialist has
become a force to be reckoned with, thus a real threat to Clinton’s coronation.
As much as the Democratic Party tried to silence its own voters, the diverse
primary process, with double the number of potential delegates compared to the
Republican Party, the DNC must grin with chagrin and bear in for the long haul.
Sanders is sticking to his socialist guns (since he voted for the right to keep
and bear arms almost as much as the Republicans during his tenure in the
House). Clinton can raise money, and play the race card all she wants, but the
outsider momentum is with Bernie.

Of course, all those over-indulged six-year undergraduates
with loads of student loan debt love their surrogate grandpa. The bigger
problem? All the people who are supposed to pay for Sanders’ free college
tuition and health care proposals—pretty much everyone else—are not keen on
subsidizing under-educated sloth. The #BlackLivesMatter crowd also loves
Bernie, but they also love overriding other people’s freedom of speech,
stopping the flow of traffic on streets and freeways, and invading Donald
Trump’s campaign rallies.

Everyone else hates them, and they will take Sanders down,
good weekend or not.

The rest of the country is tired of Bernie. With all the
talk about Trump taking down Republican chances in the US Senate and the House,
when will anyone ask the more pertinent question: With Sanders at the top of the
Democratic ticket, how badly will he drag down the diminishing Democratic
chances throughout the country? 

Democrats already suffer from a record of ineffective
campaign. In 2014, they could not run a viable candidate in Kansas for US
Senate, and the gubernatorial candidate lost, even though one hundred
big-spender Republicans lined up behind him. Republicans in governor’s
mansions, statehouses, and even at the local level dominate.

The only difference? The mainstream media isn’t screaming
about it, the way they love to dissect the ongoing demise of the GOP. Are you
sure the GOP is dying? The Democrats may need to rethink their raison d’etre very soon.

Sure, the Los Angeles
Times just reported that Trump is ahead of Cruz (by one percentage point).
The liberal democratic version of Pravda also
predicts that Trump’s ascendancy will fracture the state party and drag down
the national GOP ticket. Of course, the elite liberal media has acquired the
same credibility as the National
Enquirer, and rarely reports what is really going on. Besides, fewer people
seem to care what the LA Times writes
anyway.

In case you have not read, registered Democrats are
disgusted with their party. A Torrance, CA homeowner (by way of Venice, CA,
which indicates how liberal he is) confronted the Democratic Party leadership:
“What have you done to help the working poor?” The caustic yet accurate answer
would be: “Make them poorer!” or “Keep them poor!” Other Democrats, the ones
who vote that way because their parents did, have seen the
progressive-socialist phalanx leave them in the dust, and with greater national
debt and fewer opportunities for their kids. 

With legalized-theft Bernie Sanders at the top of the
Democratic ticket, you can be certain that anyone who works for a living, owns
property, or who traded a third-world dictatorship for American citizenship is
going to vote Republican.

Sanders has already been accused of covering up the
misconduct, corruption, and incompetence of the Veterans Administration. He’s a
gun nut, who cannot outrun his pro-Second Amendment record. How is Bloomberg
going to hijack city councils throughout the country under Sander’s bid for
President? That’s another win for the conservatives right there.

The DNC’s outrageous disregard for life and marriage, plus
the intense dedication to champagne socialism at the expense of the lunch box
base of their party, is eroding Democratic registration numbers. Democrat
voters are not just voting Republican, even in California, but they are
registering that way.

Sanders and Clinton, campaigning on desiccated, white,
eurotrash ideologies will toss their party into the ash-heap of political
history. Weekend at Bernie’s latest victories should send shivers up the
Democratic Party Establishment’s spines—if they had any.

What a great weekend it was!
