Peg -- "There is good evidence that defections by Sanders’ Democratic primary voters to Trump on Nov. 8 played a decisive role in Trump’s victory.
Brian Schaffner [ https://people.umass.edu/schaffne/ ], a political scientist at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, calculated that Sanders-to-Trump voters were key to Trump’s victories in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The accompanying chart, which is based on the 2016 survey conducted by the Cooperative Congressional Election Study [ https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi%3A10.7910/DVN/GDF6Z0 ], shows how crucial these voters were.

Voting for Sanders — and Trump
In three critical states [left column: Michigan, Trump margin of victory 10,704, estimated Sanders primary voters who voted for Trump 47,915; middle column: Wisconsin, Trump margin of victory 22,748, estimated Sanders primary voters who voted for Trump 51,317; right column: Pennsylvania, Trump margin of victory 44,292, estimated Sanders primary voters who voted for Trump 117,100], people voting for Sanders in the primary and Trump in the general election far outnumbered Trump’s ultimate margins of victory there."

yep -- lying fuckwit Bernie "far too good and noble to ever actually be a Democrat" Sanders knowingly and deliberately, to no other end, to no end more good or noble, than to gratify his own ludicrous ego, sabotaged Hillary and the Democratic Party and single-handedly made Trump president -- and just as his campaign was thoroughly not reality-based, he still refuses to even at all acknowledge, let alone own up to, that reality, even as it stares him, and all of us, in the face -- "In a statement on Wednesday, Sanders countered [ http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/06/politics/sanders-response-clinton-book/index.html , also https://www.yahoo.com/news/bernie-sanders-dismisses-hillary-clintons-comments-blaming-election-loss-163215134.html ]: “My response is that right now it’s appropriate to look forward and not backward.” " -- yeah, fuck you too, Bernie

it is long since past time for the Senate Democrats to tell Bernie to go fuck himself, strip him of every last one of his committee assignments, and throw him headlong and forever out of their caucus -- let him be his own 'caucus', see how many committee assignments he can give himself, and vote however he wants on whatever -- and keep it that way even if he then does finally, solely for his own purposes, respond by disingenuously deigning to 'become' a Democrat -- and 2020? -- no fucking way he gets to run for president (or anything else, for that matter) in any Democratic primary or otherwise garner even any single delegate to the Democratic National Convention (let alone get any Democratic Party support in any future campaign for anything) -- fuck him -- let him fight with fellow helped-by-Russia-to-sabotage-Hillary lying shithead Jill Stein for the 2020 Green Party nomination
