I suppose the logic of Donald Trump tapping into the sense of the aggrieved of Bernie Sanders supporters — the system is rigged against him — plays into the up-ending of the map.\u00c2\u00a0 Trump asserts he may well win 40 percent of Bernie Sanders’s primary voters.<\/p>\n

I suppose the logic of Bernie Sanders trying to debate Donald Trump<\/a> is to rebuff the politics of Trump.\u00c2\u00a0 To assert that they’re both anti-Hillary Clinton, sure, but somehow a vote for Sanders here ought not lead to a vote for Trump there.<\/p>\n

The logic of Bernie Sanders facing a “rigged system” is … hit and miss.\u00c2\u00a0 Certainly the super-delegates might swarm in against him in the case of a tie against Hillary Clinton, but a funny thing<\/a>… it’s a moot point.<\/p>\n

From a pure point of ego, the problem of a “left” being lead into the 2 system through Bernie Sanders perplexes him<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 As it does some of his supporters.\u00c2\u00a0 But probably not the ones who’d be going off to vote for Trump…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
