Discussion: Claire McCaskill Says GOP Wishes Sanders Were Democratic Nominee

Discussion for article #244905

Can’t stand McCaskill. I wish she’d just STFU. Watching a Dem attack another Dem using the same same throw-back Cold War “socialism” nonsense the GOP/Teatrolls rely upon disgusts me.

Mildly interesting in-fighting, but not nearly as entertaining as the Republicans.

I agree with her. Bernie isn’t even a member of the Democratic party. I think they are waiting to swiftboat him 10x worse than Kerry. That potentially will affect the down ballot.

He won’t be called a socialist. He’ll be called a communist. Already has been: Op-Ed in the NY Post And sure, dismiss the Post all you want, but this’ll be the attack. Edited: image came out all wrong.

What about a Dem attacking a Dem with a reference to Dick Cheney? Claire is right.

They already have the ad ready over his single-payer tax hike too.

If Sanders is the nominee, the election will be about him. Otherwise, it’s about Trump. Which one do you think the Democrats will have an easier time winning?

Errr…Claire must not realize that he’ll be running against Donald Trump.

P.S.

Isn’t it absolutely impossible for Hillary to win in Missouri?

It’s about coattails in Missouri.

Well, she’s absolutely right about Bernie’s effect on down ballot candidates. The revolution will be very lonely.

Thanks to gerrymandering, how could one tell?

Any more than Trumpler will hurt the GOP down-ballot?

To play both sides of the game here, they said the EXACT SAME THING about Barack Obama.

More proof of the wise saying by Will Rogers (famous 1930’s comedian for you Millennials);
“I don’t belong to an organized political party. I’m a Democrat.”

This is not 2008 and BHO was a Dem running as a Dem.

I just wrote a blurb about this in the Hive. Wouldn’t it be ironic if Bernie’s insurgency forced the Democrats to finally defend Obama like Hillary does here?

So Clinton has no baggage?
