The rest have little beyond ego, kambaya and vinegar.
Turning the Democrats against the Clintons is THE signal, if in the end self destructive, achievement of the GOP since 1996.
Sanders will remain the outsider trouble makers vaguely similar to what trump had been to the GOP, but with a more coherent, if just as disruptive and Unrooted, platform.
Bernie vs Hillary, Hillary vs Bernie. THAT SHIT NEEDS TO STOP!
Stop assuming whom will are will not win the nomination. Strategy matters, and staying suck on what we cannot change wont help.
And if one is going to talk of "King makers" how is it if the Clintons are "king makers" Obama beat her, won the nomination and two elections?
Your logic doesn't work. If Hillary was supposed to be the King maker when she ran against Obama by that logic, she should have won the nomination in 08, and become President instead of Obama.
The Clintons are not king makers otherwise we would be saying "Madam President" instead of , "President Fuckface Orange Galactic Clusterfuck."
You don’t seem to understand the concept of the king maker. King maker is not the king. King maker often becomes the king maker precisely because he could not be the king. But he still has sufficient influence so that by throwing his weight behind, or smoothing the path for, the contestant of his choice, he could effectively determine who would be king.
Also, king makers exist within the kingdom, not across kingdoms. So Hillary the king maker can determine who will be the Democratic candidate. She can not determine who will be the president. She is the king maker, not the emperor.
