If Biden gets the nod and nominates anti-abortion, anti-birth control, anti- union and everything else, Kasich, Trumpf will win. Does anyone really think a ticket made up of two white men, one with a dubious past history on women and a total garrulous-full-of-himself windbag combined with everything Kasich is will gin up the base of the Democratic Party. I, for one, would not vote and only concentrate on local elections. Trumpf would win in a landslide. *Barbara Winslow* *RESIST AND PERSIST!!!* in Williamstown cell and text: 212-8449447 Author: *Shirley Chisholm: Catalyst for Change*, Westview Press, NY 2014 available on Amazon in Kindle and book Follow me on twitter: @bwpurplewins instagram: @bwpurplewins On Sat, Jul 28, 2018 at 3:42 PM, Michael Meeropol via Marxism < marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu> wrote: > ******************** POSTING RULES & NOTES ******************** > #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. > #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. > #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. > ***************************************************************** > > Thought experiment -- > > (doubt this will happen but....) > > The Democratic Party nominates Bernie Sanders for President --- > > What does the US ruling class do? > > --- we know what it did when the Repugs nominated Goldwater --- the US > Ruling class went hell bent to support Johnson --- > > When the Dems nominated McGovern, the US ruling class went hell bent for > Nixon .... > > faced with Trump vs. Sanders, will they take a risk on Sanders but decide > Trump isn't "so bad"?? > > Another possibility -- Biden gets the nomination and offers the VP to > Kasich as a "ticket of national unity" to defeat Trump --- > > --- what do all the "liberals" (and the miniscule group of leftists) do??? > > On Sat, Jul 28, 2018 at 1:44 PM, John Reimann via Marxism < > marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu> wrote: > > > ******************** POSTING RULES & NOTES ******************** > > #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. > > #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. > > #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. > > ***************************************************************** > > > > ‘“There was polite applause, but a lot of people didn’t clap,” said a > club > > insider privy to the exchange. “There was a lot of talk that [Supreme > Court > > Justice Anthony] Kennedy sold out,” allegedly having agreed to retire > from > > the bench in exchange for President Trump’s picking his conservative > former > > law clerk *Brett Kavanaugh* to succeed him. > > > > Who was saying this?
