Go Bernie and Kirsten (or Kirsten and Bernie)

A recent report holds that good 'ol Bernie is the early favorite for the Democrat Presidential nod in 2020.  Another view which I respect opines that Kirsten Gillibrand will be anointed.  In both cases, (oh Gad), I hope so. The Dems would thereby drift ever closer to foundering on the far left reefs.

I do so love Bernie Sanders.  He is  deliciously atavistic.  He takes me right back to my freshman year of 1965 when all was so very clear.  At that time he was involved in the celebrated "Young,Idealistic, Ungrateful, Apologetic for the Gulag and Mao, Unquestionably correct Socialists of America", down there in NYC rocking and sneering out to Woody and even  young Arlo, to Pete Seeger and to Peter Paul and Mary in turtle neck sweaters in smoky coffee houses. How redeeming it all was and blasphemous too, I mean all that cigarette indulgence.  And to think - Bernie came right out of that milieu  to our very time- why imagine other then contemporary figures with us again - George Wallace, Abby Hoffman, George Lincoln Rockwell, Harold Stassen, Clean Gene McCarthy, "Bobby" Kennedy, the Smothers Brothers and well, all of them!  I can hardly contain my nostalgia; Kumbayaa to the max.  Actually, I sat at a campfire in the 60's helping to render that perhaps unjustly maligned tune; Bernie wasn't there though. Maybe he was already ministering the true faith to benighted Vermonters.

The thing I love about Bernie is his honesty, honestly! No Alinskyite obfuscation on his part, mind you.  He comes right out with it;  he'll shamelessly take from the productive and blithely give to the willfully unproductive and if you don't like it, well. . . Better stand up to it now because if Bernie gets the opportunity to institutionalize "political correctness", as is the wont of all Marxists, you'll earn a vacation in Stalinland Amusement "Park" if you foolishly think you still have a right to free speech.

And young Kirsten, we know what to expect there.  She is Charles Schumer's shill and he would ensure that she remains so should she improbably gain residence in the executive mansion.  Schumer is of course unelectable outside of NY because he is a stereotypical New York City know it all, exceeded in that obnoxious role only by Andrew Cuomo (another to be hoped for pretender).  Now Kirsten does have the advantage of not sounding like a NYC type (her accent would fit in most anywhere between the coasts and above the Mason Dixon line) but do you think that would flummox a canny NYC guy like President Trump?  Fugettaboutit! He'll nail her.   She's also given to publicly uttering hyperbolic obscenities to refer to those who excite her juvenile antipathy and that still doesn't work for the real America

I can't wait.  Given their frantically vindictive response to the democratic election of President Trump one must delight in the prospect of the hellish whirlpool of  hatred,recrimination and despair into which Dems will plunge after  their 2020 repulse. Let Bernie and/or Kirsten lead them over the brink, please.  Jack
