The only thing in it - the ONLY thing, is that he says Bernie will not be the Dem nominee because he won't survive 'Hilary’s money, machine and cynical ruthlessness' and then if he does make it, 'the Establishment is mobilizing to stop in its tracks the sort of progressive populism that Sanders represents.'

We all knew from the get-go that Bernie was going to be attacked from EVERY direction. Anytime the people EVER make any reasonable requests that their tax dollars be used to give them better lives rather than for stupid and immoral wars, domestic spying and wars on drugs, the establishment comes out with the long knives.

But that does NOT excuse us from fighting the good fight, no matter the odds. You know why?

Because once you KNOW the truth, you can NEVER go back.

That's why.
