After the obligatory round of mocking us fuzzy-headed, bleeding-heart Libtards for not understanding how anything works (and how they can kinda understand Trump disparaging "Parasite" for winning the Best Picture Oscar because it's a "super-Commie" movie that Hollywood chose over so many other, better American movies) Conservative Charlie Sykes and his guest got down to the real meat of the matter -- using his lil' conservative podcast (Episode entitled "The Bernie / Trump Death March") to flog this Urgent Warning For Democrats post on his lil' conservative website in which the Bulwarkians all but demand that Barack Obama and Bill Clinton step in right now and save them from Bernie Sanders:
...So you want Bill Clinton to come out of retirement to take this situation in-hand?
So let’s take a look at 2020 and which Democratic figures are on the sidelines: the Obamas, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Beto O’Rourke, Jimmy Carter, and Al Gore.
Basically every major Democrat who a normal primary voter would know and whose endorsement could command a news cycle is sitting around to see how things shake out.
And I promise you that every one of them who is right now weighing when to put their thumb on the scale will quickly decide after Super Tuesday that they don’t want to be fighting a lonely battle against an inevitable Bernie.
Some of these individuals could shake up the race. Imagine the consolidation pressure if an Obama or Clinton came out for Pete or Joe or Amy in the way Ted Kennedy did for Obama in 2008. That would be the type of event that could legitimately change the balance of the race. If it happened soon.
Bill Clinton?
The guy who, as I have pointed out at great length elsewhere, was referred to during his tenure in the White House by the leading voices in Mr. Sykes' Republican Party and the Conservative Movement as (in no particular order) Hitler, a Socialist, a rapist, a warmonger, a serial murderer, and a drug dealer, whose Presidency was somehow vaguely illegitimate.
And you want him joined on your holy mission by Barack Obama?
Barack Hussein Obama?
The decent, honorable man upon your depraved Republican Party absolutely picnicked on for eight fucking years? The Kenyan Usurper? The Death Panelist? The secret Muslim who loved nothing more than "palling around with terrorists"? The dirty, gun-grabbing commie sleeper cell? The guy who Fox News and Hate Radio spent eight years bellowing was the greatest existential threat to the American republic in history? At 120 decibels? 24 hours a day?
The Barack Obama about whom Rick Perry said this on January 8, 2012:
I make a very proud statement and, in fact ,that we have a president that's a socialist. I don't think our founding fathers wanted America to be a socialist country. So I disagree with that premise that somehow or another that President Obama reflects our founding fathers. He doesn't. He talks about having a more powerful, more centralized, more consuming and costly federal government.The Barack Obama castigated in Newt Gingrich's 2010 book:
"To Save America: Stopping Obama's Secular-Socialist Machine"That Barack Obama?
Your actual plan for saving yourself from Bernie Sanders is to urge the Infamous Socialist Barack Obama and his Infamous Socialist wife --
-- to team up with the Infamous Socialist Hillary Clinton and her Infamous Socialist husband so they can drag the Socialist Dimm-O-Crap Party back from the brink of...Socialism?
Well hey, good luck with that.
Meanwhile, I'll be over here in the cheap seats dying of laughter.
PS. Overall, the petulant-three-year-old-level of wailing and whining and self-righteous poutrage (tm) of Never Trumpers on this podcast is absolutely hilarious. On and on they go about how rudely Never Trumpers are treated by us Dirty Fucking Hippies, and how brutally unfair it is of us to nominate candidates without their approval and "shove that choice down their throat". What is it about wingnuts and hhaving things shoved don their throat?
Also how we are basically "putting a gun to their heads" and giving them a "binary choice" between two candidates they despise. How we can take our "Vote Blue No Matter Who" ideals and shove 'em because they are under NO moral obligation to vote for just any ol' candidate we nominate.
They are also deeeeeply resentful of all the shit we DFHs give them on the subject "Why don't you stay the hell out of our business and go clean up you own god damn party" (so, yay!, they are definitely listening to my podcast and reading my shitty blog :-) Anyway we Libtards have no fucking appreciation for how hard they have been working for the last three years to clean up their party!
No appreciation at all!
Which is true.

I have no trouble with us using the creeps where possible. However, we must remember two things they are always wrong, and always lying, oh shit three things, the enemy of my enemy is not my friend but a temporary ally that we have to watch at all times because, see first two points.
But who is using who? Whatever happens, after the smoke clears, which of us do you suppose will command the media spotlight and control the narrative, and which of us will once again be relegated to the outer darkness, to shout our rebuttals from our shitty blogs and tiny podcasts?
Your points are well made, the media is not our friend and probably will never be. Just saying use them when we can and discard like the trash they are when the smoke clears. Unfortunately we are in a fight for the survival of the republic and dare not lose the up coming round. Don't see us dirty hippies ever holding the high ground for long. One day at a time but be ready to dump on the never trumpers when finished with them. Always meaning they can never be trusted to do the right thing except by accident. Dealing with them is always a danger in ending up with a frog and scorpion outcome. We need to take the place of the scorpions.
Maxim 29: The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy, no more, no less.
Couldn't agree more, more concisely stated then what I posted and will steal this without remorse.
And now shall leave the internet for the day and work on fixing manure spreaders broken chain. Dealing with honest horse shit is better than thinking about the criminal conspiracy that is the republican party. Driftglass thanks for your work.

It is important to know that no victory will ever be a permanent one. There's too much money and propaganda unleashed by the other side for that to be possible.
