Krystal Ball: Biden so WEAK establishment already blaming Bernie for his loss

.youtube.com/watch?v=B5UkNoCJGg4

These two commentators are the most hardball right-on brilliant commentators in America. I watch their What's on Your Radar broadcasts several times a day, but with this particular segment, I have to speak up; judge for yourself.... Whoopi Goldberg was so colossally rude when she repeatedly interrupted Bernie Sanders. You shouldn't talk to anyone this way, let alone a US Senator with the credibility and humility of Bernie Sanders.

As Saagar puts it, for Bernie to capitulate as these imperious misleading DNC hacks want him to do, means he would get "all of the downside, and none of the upside..."

Krystal: "These leaders know already how weak Biden is....They are wholly lacking in any confidence in their anointed candidate."

I can't understand Whoopi at all on this one. She visited my gallery in the 80's; I gave her an ink drawing of a New Mexico graveyard, up in the mountains. I told her about the Santa Fe Film Festival going on, which she didn't know about but decided to go to it and it made front page of our newspaper, the Santa Fe New Mexican, as if she were the big star of that event, which, in fact, she was.

But this video shows a staggeringly rude side to her, especially since as a prominent African American poking her nose into national politics, she should really be at least aware of Shaun King's exposure of Biden's totally phony civil rights record, horribly problems of elect-ability that long ago preceded any of these more recent concerns about his congnitive decline. That is something I have written about extensively here at OpEdNews.

She goes on and on, battering Bernie like he was some naughty school child that wouldn't answer the overlord teacher's questions....too much to watch or even analyze.

All of these prominent backers of Biden, the Governors and the Senators and the Members of Congress must all be terribly uncomfortable as their candidate continues to embarrass them, and as increasing numbers of the press point out the obvious, that Biden is going to implode. For kicks, here is a list of some of the top Biden endorsers; I have to wonder, at what stage are they at this moment in the sad process of "eating crow"?

I don't have time to ask them, mere mortal that I am, but somebody should take that project on a journalistic tour de force. It is all going to turn into a worsening and very tragic nightmare. Maybe Bernie can save it and be picked at the convention in July, which I predict is going to be even uglier than the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago.

Just how the hell do you ask this level of leadership and former leadership to please hurry up and wake up?

Authors Bio:

Early in the 2016 Primary campaign, I started a Facebook group: Bernie Sanders: Advice and Strategies to Help Him Win! As the primary season advanced, we shifted the focus to advancing Bernie's legislation in the Senate, particularly the most critical one, to protect Oak Flat, sacred to the San Carlos Apaches, in the Tonto National Forest, from John McCain's efforts to privatize this national forest and turn it over to Rio Tinto Mining, an Australian mining company whose record by comparison makes Monsanto look like altar boys, to be developed as North America's largest copper mine. This is monstrous and despicable, and yet only Bernie's Save Oak Flat Act (S2242) stands in the way of this diabolical plan.

We added "2020" to the title.


I am an art gallery owner in Santa Fe since 1980 selling Native American painting and NM landscapes, specializing in modern Native Ledger Art.


I have always been intensely involved in politics, going back to the mid's 1970's, being a volunteer lobbyist in the US Senate for the Secretary General of the United Nations, then a "snowball-in-hell" campaign for US Senate in NM in the late 70's, and for the past 20 years have worked extensively to pressure the FDA to rescind its approval for aspartame, the neurotoxic artificial sweetener metabolized as formaldehyde. This may be becoming a reality to an extent in California, which, under Proposition 65, is considering requiring a mandatory Carcinogen label on all aspartame products, although all bureaucracies seem to stall under any kind of corporate pressure.


Bills to ban aspartame were in the State Senates of New Mexico and Hawaii, but were shut down by corporate lobbyists (particularly Monsanto lobbyists in Hawaii and Coca Cola lobbyists in New Mexico).


For several years, I was the editor of New Mexico Sun News, and my letters to the editor and op/eds in 2016 have appeared in NM, California, Wisconsin, New York, Maryland, the Christian Science Monitor, USA Today, and many international papers, on the subject of consumer protection. Our best issue was 10 days before Obama won in 2008, when we published a special early edition of the paper declaring that Obama Wins! This was the top story on CNN for many hours, way back then....


My highest accomplishments thus far are

1. a plan to create a UN Secretary General's Pandemic Board of Inquiry, a plan that is in the works and might be achieved even before the 75th UN General Assembly in September 2020.


2. Now history until the needs becomes clear to the powers who run the United Nations: a UN Resolution to create a new Undersecretary General for Nutrition and Consumer Protection, strongly supported ten years ago by India and 53 cosponsoring nations, but shut down by the US Mission to the UN in 2008. To read it, google UNITED NATIONS UNDERSECRETARY GENERAL FOR NUTRITION, please.


These are not easy battles, any of them, and they require a great deal of political and journalistic focus. OpEdNews is the perfect place for those who have a lot to say, so much that they exceed the limiting capacities of their local and regional newspapers. Trying to go beyond the regional papers seems to require some kind of "inside" credentials, as if you had to be in a club of corporate-accepted writers, and if not, you are "from somewhere else," a sad state of corporate induced xenophobia that should have no place in America in 2020!

This should be a goal for every author with something current to say: breaking through yet another glass ceiling, and get your say said in editorial pages all over America. Certainly, this was a tool that was essentially ignored in 2016, and cannot be ignored in the big elections of 2020.
