About Those Pissed Off Bernie Supporters in Nevada

First off, let’s get it right. I am not a Bernie Sanders supporter. I don’t think the guy could change a flat tire.

That said, I’m liking what the Sanders folks are doing, throwing it in Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’s face.

The DNC boss has been a thorn in the side of the Sanders campaign for months. She’s on the defensive following the Nevada Democratic convention, and so is her buddy, the scurrilous and arrogant California Democrat Barbara Boxer who stood up at the convention and taunted Bernie supporters. She chanted “Hillary, Hillary, Hillary!” and it had all the charm of something out of Leni Riefenstahl’s “Triumph of the Will.”

It’s a good thing, Bernie supporters giving Democrat party apparatchiks hell. It’s even better, Donald Trump destroying the Republican party. Both these monsters need to die.

But… Danger, Will Robinson. Entrenched political parties owned by a handful of mega-rich bankers and corporatists will not simply lay down and die without a fight. These are interests that have no problem blowing up small countries, killing thousands with a single strike, and assassinating presidents.

The Democrat’s have safely rigged their nomination, so that’s pretty much in the bag.

But that’s not the case with Donald Trump. He might actually make it to Cleveland and walk out with the nomination. If the fat cats and neocons in the party can’t take him down by July, there is the real possibility he will be on the ticket.

I don’t think The Donald will end up with a dose of specialized CIA fast case cancer or will his private jet suffer a mechanical failure at 35,000 feet.

The Donald’s going to play ball. He’ll play it his way, but he will play.

His buddies are on Wall Street, the hedge fund and derivatives boys. He’s publicly dissed them, but that’s OK, that’s show business. He’s one of them, part of the clan, a player, highly idiosyncratic and an outrageous off-the-cuff blowhard, but part of the team.

The Donald talked to Henry Kissinger, the “elder statesman” wanted for murder in a couple countries.

And the neocon Las Vegas magnate, Sheldon Adelson, he’s all for Trump now.

You may remember Sheldon’s the guy who wanted to send a nuke missile or two down Main Street, Teheran, just to show the Iranians “we mean business.”

Also, The Donald has paid homage to the crazed settlers over there, the Likudnik Israelis, so we can assume unless he’s just playing political footsie, nothing will change on the all-war-all-the-time front if elected.

It’s a waiting game now. It would be nice to see the Bernie crowd cause some trouble at a nice clean and orderly Democrat convention in Miami.

People get pissed when they’re robbed, and a little stone throwing at least will wake up the media from its love affair with the Iron Maiden of Darkness, Madam Hillary, the psychopath who micromanaged the murder of 30,000 Libyans and went on national television to chuckle when some of her hired thugs shot Gaddafi and shoved a knife up his rectum.
