"Only Hillary can stop Bernie Sanders from being US President, says Michael Moore"

19. I think the PTB hoped Trump's neofascism would actually make corporatism seem appealing

With an electorate used to voting "against" instead of "for," "Anyone but Trump" looked like a winner. Trump may have originally been designed to make Jeb! seem more palatable. That obviously was a miserable failure.

Now he's seen as achieving the impossible: actually making Hillary seem more likable and reasonable in comparison. But there's only so much that one man can do. As it turns out, America is torn as to which candidate it dislikes more. Besides, for all his truly appalling viewpoints, Trump, unlike his anointed rival, is seen as "telling it like it is."

Meanwhile, Bernie is going to ruin everything. He's refreshingly authentic, trustworthy, and popular. And unlike the bigoted blowhard Berlusconi from Queens, Brooklyn Bernie is a genuine progressive, who appeals to the better angels of our nature.

If he makes it to the GE, people will vote for Sanders in unprecedented numbers: some out of fear of the alternative, but many more filled with hope and inspiration for a more equitable America.

No wonder the corporatists are terrified.
