(12,504 posts)THis school with it's required attendance to Cruz is the only place that Bernie thinks will promote more conservative votes for his bid?
I'm truly having some difficulty with the Pro Bernie spin on this. Three levels of subtlety isn't what is happening here. I fully agree with the OP and feel there is a slap in the face of not only minorities, but also many of the DEMS whom he wishes to vote for him.
I've said it before and I'm saying it again. EVERYTHING that Bernie is doing is in line to demolish the party. He doesn't strive for party building, he doesn't even want to address it, but he wants their votes. He turns his back on huge swaths of voting blocks in favor of those that want more riches, dream of a theocracy, and nothing else. He wants to be President but does nothing to ensure that the future of the party is solid and growing. If he ever gets his 4 years in office, he walks away, the Dems are in a world of hurt and the Republican glide on in. Just as the Dems are looking for redistricting and having majorities, the office of President will be snatched away.
