Reminds that the last time he might, conceivably, have been needed in a very close vote, he was a no-show with an excuse about having a meeting scheduled with his own staff.

That was, of course, to keep Trump from cancelling congress's sanctions on and returning megabucks to Putin's Oleg Deripaska, who helped steal the 2016 election. We have to be seeing some effect from that in Sanders' rejection.

a long time now, and read a bunch of stuff from his past, and I think he truly believes what he says about Democrats. Oh, he's not crazy, I've seen him backtrack and softer-peddle competently a bunch of times in interviews when he was called on something. But it's a lifelong theme, and I've come to believe that at base he thinks it's all essentially true. And very important truth at that.

Cubans are as likely to be republicans as democrats. And the other large group, Puerto Rican’s have a whole different set of issues and arrive here as citizens. The ones I know do not see themselves as immigrants more like Americans moving between states. Of course, that is small sample of the ones I work with. They are often very familiar with the party and it’s history.

I remember several Bernie-phile posters scoffing at the possibility that Bernie’s comments about authoritarian Latin socialism might be damaging, and it looks like Bernie’s comments did have impact after all.
