This is 1972 all over.

The Dems will sacrifice their progressive now, in the hopes they can come back with a moderate to run next time.

I think you’re right.

I don't think that's going to work. For starters, this is the last opportunity for the Dems to implement socialism. If they blow it, that's it - too many Americans will be woke and will abandon the party.

Watch for Schultz to get the nominee. I truly think he's a dangerous Trojan Horse who's going to be somewhat of a Bizzaro Trump. He's going to call the other Dems out on their socialism and present himself as a populist left-leaning candidate and could steal working-class white votes away from Trump.

I have been thinking 1984 and Mondale redux as a lesbian minority (physically) female, but 1972 works as well.
