74. The Process, Sir, Is Intended To Play Out With The Obvious Loser Folding

When the process plays out normally, that is what happens. The candidate with no more than a lottery ticket's chance at winning concedes as soon as this is obvious, then congratulates the winner, and gets to work for the ticket's victory in November.

Of course normally, the last two contenders do not include one man who is not really running for the Presidential nomination, but against the 'Democratic Establishment' which he presents as a paragon of corruption dedicated to stifling liberal and progressive causes. So appealing to normal practice falls rather flat. 'Bernie' does care a fig if he damages the Democratic Party, and the chances of Democratic Party candidates in November. A defeat for the Democratic Party, 'Bernie' believes, would only strengthen his hand for the next run he dreams of making four years from now. It will show the corrupt 'Democratic Establishment' they'd better get out of 'Bernie's' way this time, once and for all.





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
