Let us hear, when it comes to your three core issues how you'll explain to your supporters, and to the voters generally, why the whole Republican ticket needs to be defeated:
- that it is Republican-appointed justices that gave us "that disastrous Supreme Court decision, Citizens United, that has helped the billionaire class and the corporate system steal our democracy;
- that it is the Republicans in Congress who work tirelessly to give tax cuts to the rich at the expense of the struggling middle class; and
- that the Republican Party is the only major political party in any advanced democracy that consistently lies to the people about the reality of climate change.
Showing us all that is win-win, because at the same time as you are demonstrating that you are the candidate to lead the Democrats into battle, you are also setting the stage for the party coming together no matter who ends up being the standard-bearer in the battle against Trump and the GOP.
Win-win.
The second win is that you'll be working to assure that -- whoever is the nominee -- Trump doesn't become president. There are two ways your speeches auditioning for the general election can do that:
- by helping Americans generally see Trump for the dangerous and irresponsible person that he is; and
- by helping all the forces involved on the Democratic side to come together to fight the common foe.
Show us what you've got, Bernie, for the battle ahead.
