“I think that if Bernie Sanders gets the nomination, there will be an effort to ‘McGovern’ him,” he posits. The Democratic Party will “hope that Bernie Sanders gets destroyed by Donald Trump, and then wag their fingers at the left for the next 20 years until they get another Bill Clinton.

“I think that they don’t know how to stop him at this point, but they’re willing to let him be the nominee and go down to Donald Trump, because Bernie Sanders threatens their interests, and the movement behind him particularly, more than Donald Trump does.”

Looks like only thing this got wrong is the clinton machine will not let Bernie run against Trump, that'd be too risky:

"Listen to the full discussion between Blumenthal and Scheer, which took place aptly on the eve of the Iowa caucuses that, at the time, Blumenthal assumed would be a landslide win for Sanders. You can also read a transcript of the interview below the media player and find past episodes of “Scheer Intelligence” here."

If Bernie beats Trump it's going to be 4 years of popcorn. A democrat that's stayed true to their beliefs for his entire life? Oooooh shit. Here come the fireworks.

If Trump wins it won't that bad. Be another 4 years of Emperor Twitter, only boring, because he's already tried everything.

big if, highly doubtful bernie is allowed to win primary. If he does, watch bernie sell out. I still remember him endorsing Hillary. Would elites play long game with a socialist from vermont that had consistent leftwing beliefs for 50 years? Yeah I think they would. Thinking long term is how they got in power in the first place.
