All risk no gain. This was a tactic. I think the point was to stoke the resentment of Bernie voters at how he is (as they see it) marginalized and diddled by the democrats and the process.

That's a..."Bernie Bros" do not exist. That's a strategy of the Clinton camp to try and paint Sanders supporters as angry, white & sexist. The same thing was done with "Obama boys" in 2008. Cenk Uygur talked about it. I included this in the fist installment of my video of Feminism & Bernie Sanders:<br /><br />https://youtu.be/XkHjlROk4sgKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11890229869783893118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-34313271886622375742016-05-30T03:35:33.054-07:002016-05-30T03:35:33.054-07:00"Did he chicken out of the proposed Trump ver..."Did he chicken out of the proposed Trump versus Bernie Sanders debate as part of this strategy?"<br /><br />The strategy was to draw attention to Bernie in California, Hilary's refusal to debate Bernie, and get media time for Bernie. Which he got. <br /><br />Trump wants to wound Clinton and drag out the democrat primaries but not fatally damage her until she gets the Democrat nomination. <br /><br />I get the feeling Trump could have finished off Clinton right now. But then he'd have to run against Bernie, which would be a tougher call. NeilWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11565959939525324309noreply@blogger.com
