Monday Evening

The Michigan primary is tomorrow and all the polls are not only showing Biden winning but winning by a pretty large margin.  I don't know if this will mean that Bernie is mathematically eliminated but he'll sure be a greater longshot than ever before.

I voted for Bernie…and Biden was not my second choice.  But this country could do a lot worse than elect Joe Biden…and it will if Trump gets another term.  No, Biden will not pass Senator Sanders' agenda but he'll pass some of it whereas Trump would push the exact opposite of everything Bernie ever stood for.

How much of it anyone — even Sanders — could pass will depend a lot on the partisan makeup of the House and Senate, plus whether Trump somehow gets one more Supreme Court pick before January. Which reminds me: Four more years of Trump-approved judges — and making it harder for minorities and Democrats to vote — will could make it impossible for the Chief Exec after Trump to do anything. The Trumpizing of America will be complete.

Assuming there's no Michigan Miracle, I really hope Sanders gets with the program and does so soon. I've long admired Bernie Sanders and I don't want it to stop now.
