re: #180 BeachDem

Not if you read some of the diaries over at the koskids place. They’re 100% convinced that Bernie is going to squash Hillary and ride to the presidency on a populist wave unicorn.

I like Bernie, and I admire their enthusiasm, but all of the populist paths they envision for Bernie assume that Hillary is doing nothing, has no ground game and no enthusiastic supporters. That couldn’t be further from the truth. She’s even got a massive ground operation in South Carolina—I’m having one of the interns stay at my house next month.

KOS has never been grounded in reality. But what Bernie can do is force the discussion of issues that Hillary would rather not deal with as well as drag her back closer to the center rather than her usual Blue Dog positions. God willing he might get a cabinet job (Treasury? Labor?) or even as VP (as a way to keep the lefties mollified) to help his retirement paycheck.
