What's this?

Well, if there were a Bern inspired takeover of the dem party, it wouldn't


Look like Trump's on the other side. One answer to your question, about why Trump, a savvy media guy if nothing more, would choose to target the repub party, is FOX. If MSNBC had the stranglehold on lefty messaging that FOX has on the right, you might be surprised by the propaganda they could sell. The wrapping would be very different, but people of all stripes are susceptible to it. There is no dominant "FOX" of the left.

For whatever reason. Nonetheless, a post Bern election-win takeover could never look like Trump's. But it could still become populist-dominated. I'm not saying I think he'll win the nomination, just that I'm growing more concerned about it. So, I guess I can try to table my concern until I have something to worry about. I'm not especially good at that. I'm frequently told I spend too much energy sweating things I think might happen and can't control.

Another reason to retire. Along with avoiding the Sunday night blues.
