Bernie won the big kahuna California on Super Tuesday, but does it mean anything for the November election? The Democratic nominee will win California regardless of the candidate, so Bernie's popularity in that state will have no effect on the electoral vote for President. (Conversely, Texas will go for Trump.)
The real action in the upcoming election will be in the swing states, where Bernie is not popular. If the Democrats let California put Bernie over the top at their convention, they will ensure President Trump's reelection.
I hope they do just that.
I think Trump can beat either one of them.
Bernie Sanders Wants to Tank Your Retirement Portfolio.
"We're taking on Wall Street and I know they were getting very nervous, and the stock market went up this morning because they thought that Biden did well."
Really. He said that. Like it's a bad thing.
Bernie Sanders wants to be the guy who tanks the stock market. With it, he'd take your 401(k) and/or your IRA -- and any plans you might have had about not being completely dependent on Social Security during your retirement.
How's Bernie going to raid your savings to pay for Medicare and Every Other Damn Thing for All after he's reduced its value to rubble?
It's hard to create wealth. It's easy to destroy it.
His Bernie Bros are all on board with the Bern It All Down mentality.

Senator, you need to use what happened in the stock market to prove your point. Use it against Biden. It proves that big corporations especially the pharmaceuticals and healthcare want him to win.
Those are the big corporations -- smaller ones, too -- you or your mutual funds rely on to generate gains. Not just you: me, the old couple next door, the working mom socking away everything she can to provide a better life for her kids.
Socialism is the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be making money.
From the stock market to the
gig economy to the entertainment industry to... well... pretty much everything else, socialists want to tell you what to do.
Sure, Sanders is a "democratic" socialist, but there's nothing democratic -- not in the American sense of the word -- in bossing everyone around.

“The inescapable fact is that socialism cannot be implemented without authoritarian action, even if it’s supposedly a ‘democratic socialism,’ in which majorities decide how life is to be arranged. Even a ‘soft’ authoritarianism, a ‘democratic’ mob rule will grow into a malignancy.”
"Malignant" is exactly the right word for an American presidential contender who curses your financial independence from his schemes and celebrates your losses.
