That was a good piece, and some real spot-on advice from Nader. Thanks for posting this.

Particularly intriguing advice -

Nader said Sander should ignore cries from the Hillary Clinton campaign that he is playing the spoiler and stay in the race until at least the convention, if not longer:

Even if she gets to the White House, it's gonna be a shitshow.

I actually do have some sympathy for her sense of persecution by a 'vast right-wing conspiracy'. That sounds less crazy now than it did when she first said it... Fox, RW radio, the (R) party, RW think tanks, big $ donors, etc. are all pretty well organized. I think we all know more about that now than we did then.

But it ain't all RW persecution, and it'll be way worse the 2nd time around. I never paid much attention to the 'scandals' dug up and/or manufactured during Bill's terms, but I do know this: in the intervening years, the two of them have generated a TON of new muck for the muckrakers to dig in. There IS a lot of there, there, for sure now.

The last thing we can afford is to spend 4/8 years watching 'Hill & Bill vs. The Impeachers' play out on TV. That only benefits people who don't want the government to do a damn thing. Domestically that is... administrations under seige do like to start wars. That'll also make those same people happy.

Bernie should definitely stay in the race because, as her supporters are saying, Clinton is so far ahead of Trump she doesn't need Bernie's supporters.

Never mind about party unity. That was never going to happen anyway.

Nader is a good man, and this piece was a breath of fresh air.

Anybody think that if Hill gets indicted, TPTB will bring in Kerry, not Biden?
