Bernie proves otherwise as Bill Clinton's deal with true liberals has been destroyed. Progressives are no longer bowing down to the New Democrats. If you don't know what these terms mean, go look them up.
Wishful thinking on your part.
The majority of Democrats were perfectly fine with Sanders or Clinton winning the nomination. While Sanders may have inspired a great deal of passion, like Trump has, that doesn't mean that the party is split. There may be some die-hard Sanders supporters who prefer Trump to Clinton, but that faction is not similar to the Never-Trump faction in the GOP. The split in the GOP is a deep fissure that involves ideology and the very identity of the Republican Party and its platform.
The Democratic Party is not split over ideology in the same way. Sanders' strategy was to pull the party to the left, and he's been successful in that, and in pulling Secretary Clinton more to the left. He forced the conversation during the primaries to topics that stirred up the pot, and actually served the party well, because it changed the dynamics of this year's nomination process. IMO, I don't think Sanders' supporters are going to flock to Trump. I think the Democratic party has a strong strategy in pointing out the long-term goals of the party are more in line with Sanders' long-term goals, and so Sanders' supporters have more to gain with sticking with the Democratic Party.
Maybe you should have read the whole article before you posted :
Of Mr. Trump, Ms. Matalin said she liked his attitude and what she knew of his economic policies, adding: “I just don’t know enough. I think not only could he win, I think he could win in a landslide if he would stop his high school boy antics with women; otherwise he’s going to force suburban women to Hillary.â€
Hey, I love Libertarians all day long, but I have to say...Mary Matalin has been anesthetized far too many times, and it's not just her face that's addled.
Does H.W. even know who or where he is these days ?
That's pretty funny..! Where he is, is where you will be someday and then it will be really funny...
The difference will be that he has had amazing accomplishments over the course of his life time, then there's you....

Personal attack ? Since you're a grumpy old guy, you're forgiven and since you're old, you won't be around to see me when I'm 90 years old.
He said "yet". Besides, it would likely give Trump a bump if he didn't. Ryan is a part of the reason he won.
Yes indeed he is.
All of Ryan's talk of "unifying the party" and being conservative enough" is all blown out of the window when you consider those that contributed to the environment that led to Trump's rise were all talk and no positive action on that very conservative front.
All of the Republicans that did not do what they said they would as well as Obama, Hillary, Clinton & Co. has brought us down the Trump Road.
He'll be busy making robocalls for Marco Rubio for the 2024 election.
All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put the GOP party back together again. Win or lose, Trump woke up apathetic Americans to the fact that the GOP establishment platform just ain't cutting it in modern day America.
Don't think for a moment the anger is all about the Republicans in Office only.
It is the State of the Nation and the ignoring of things important to a great portion of this country.
They were already mad about the things that Libs were doing and holding Republicans to account for not doing something about it.
