Bernie is only the beginning. It is either "long game" or "no game". If history is any indication, it will,be "no game", at least until things get worse.Jerry Critterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870618647449723147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-44119472032050810262016-04-17T19:03:07.155-04:002016-04-17T19:03:07.155-04:00The exception to this would be 2006 in which Howar...The exception to this would be 2006 in which Howard Dean, who had gone on to win the DNC chairmanship, helped usher a wave election that swept Democrats into control of Congress in an off-year Congressional election.<br /><br />The difference between 2002 and 2006 is that the supporters of Dean moved in to the party and tried to take it over (to various levels of success(*)). Nader supporters were never interested in using the Democratic party to advance their goals since they considered the party to be as bad as the Republicans and therefore to yucky to have anything to do with.<br /><br />It remains to be seen which direction Sanders goes. Dean had two advantages: he was a lifelong Dem and the Dems had just lost at the polls so DNC chair was about the most powerful position a Democrat could hold at the time (and it was quite achievable since there was no other party leader to put their fingers on the scale). If Clinton wins in 2016 then Sanders' supporters ability to move into the party apparatus will be much more limited. She will get to name the DNC chair and congressional leaders will, at least at first, be on her side (especially if she helps take back the Senate and, God willing, the House).<br /><br />I think the best hope for Sanders people is to move in at the County party level and start a multi-year program of reform. That will require a lot of patience on their part and I'm just not sure they have what it takes.Chris Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18139817527808942227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-31947875443185133392016-04-17T18:04:28.532-04:002016-04-17T18:04:28.532-04:00By February 20th.

The problem is that Democratic voters and others are clearly bringing out a problem.<br />http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/hillary-clinton-favorable-rating<br /><br />In more then one poll Hillary has a very serious favor ability problem. The elites want to ignore this but why do they support a candidate with these type of problems, instead of supporting the other one that does not have this problem?<br />Sometimes just because someone is well liked by a few party elites it doe not justify ignoring the situation and supporting a weaker candidate. <br /><br />I will vote for Hillary if she wins the nomination but do not be fooled she is not as strong a Democratic Candidate as some try to make others believe.
