If Bernie is elected, it would have to be part of a movement. Movements grow very long coattails which could flip the Congress.

Bernie is the best hope for an end to Republican misrule in the Congress.



So, since you think Bernie has no chance, you throw your support behind the candidate who's guaranteed not to implement a single shred of Bernie's agenda?

So, you think the only democratic nominee who might also find him/herself with a Senate majority is Bernie Sanders? Because he's the only one with a movement? How's about the first woman POTUS in history movement?

Besides, dream on MacDuff. We're not going to see a Democratic majority in the US House in our lifetimes...particularly not a geezer like you. Maybe not in anybody's lifetime what with the nature of gerrymandering and there simply being so many backwater cabbageville US House districts fulla inbred cretins with arms or legs growing out of their foreheads.
