In the span of a week, the Democratic presidential primary has morphed into a war for the party’s soul. Former front-runner Joe Biden has collapsed, giving way to a contest that essentially boils down to a war between Bernie Sanders and billionaire Michael Bloomberg. The latter has used $400 million of his own money thus far (pocket change to him) to catapult his candidacy to third place nationally and to dominate a number of Super Tuesday states in advance.
The existential struggle to save the republic from Dictator Drumpf has devolved from a melee between some of the party’s most promising talents in elected office to a twilight struggle between a septuagenarian socialist who wants to abolish billionaires and a septuagenarian caricature of evil billionaires. Most terrifyingly, the two appear to be welcoming this offensively idiotic war.
