GOP strategist Rick Wilson is as #NeverTrump as it gets, and much like the Washington Post’s conservatives, he seems intent on giving the Democrats advice on how to run their campaigns too. Jennifer Rubin wanted to “help Stacey Abrams make the right choice” and run for president, while Max Boot is still planning on voting Democrat straight down the ticket, as he reminds us in every column.
Wilson’s good at what he does, though, and he’s letting the Democrats know that sandbagging Joe Biden and other contenders is going to leave the party with Bernie Sanders, who’ll be destroyed by President Trump in 2020.
When Bernie Sanders is the nominee after he sandbags Biden Warren and Harris, remember you decided that being woke was worth losing 44 States

"I'm a GOP strategist, so Democrats should definitely listen to me about how to handle racism in the party."
Your party elected a fascist. It's nice that you regret that now, but maybe listen to the folks who have been saying fascism is bad for decades, huh? https://t.co/35FpSsWzt2

I'm a Republican strategist who with others helped take 1100 seats from the Dems in the late 90s and 2000s, including in places like WA, VT, MA, and NY.
But by all means, preen and front when i tell you how to avoid getting your ass kicked. https://t.co/1R0o5pXkT2

He’s got a point … the memo seemed to make the rounds this week that it was time to take another shot at Biden, not over the creepy groping and hair-sniffing but rather his pride in working with segregationist senators who showed him the respect of never calling him “boy” — and his own past support of school segregation, and more.

Polls say Biden — or just about any of the top Democrats — would beat Trump, but we don’t believe it. Biden’s base is continually pulling him further left, and he just doesn’t seem to understand what’s changed. A moderate Biden could be seen as a return to the seemingly stable days of the Obama administration — but even Obama hasn’t endorsed him. Ouch.
Would we love to see Sanders go up against Trump in the debates? Hell yeah.

Sounds more like being worried about Sanders impacting the establishment ‘consulting’ class than what leader the country needs.

He won't be the nominee

Rick, no one thinks Sanders = woke.
It's the opposite.— John Stoehr's Editorial Board (@johnastoehr) June 20, 2019
Never going to happen Rick.

Sanders is thoroughly not woke, and the danger isn't that he snags the nom, the danger is that he convinces his minions that for more years of Trump will finally get them a revolution.

Dems rejected him in 2016 and will do so again in 2020.

You needn't worry about Bernie. We Democrats will take care of that problem.

It that you, Tom Perez?
#Bernie2020 will win the nomination because he has the largest number of individual donors and on the ground volunteers of ANY candidate of ANY party. He will beat Trump. His voters will elect a new Congress. We will pass #MedicareforAll & outlaw money in politics.

I hope Bernie wins, just so he can raise your taxes.

I agree, he already helped get Trump elected once, he needs to check his overblown ego.

I don't think Noah is questioning your intellect or capabilities. He's questioning your motives *as a Republican strategist* who's excellent at directing support away from electable Democrats.

So you really don’t get the irony? Your advice and influence has led the @GOP to where it is today……..yet think @DNC should listen to you?

Members of the GOP pontificating to Democrats about not running their party after they ruined their own party. No one should listen to you.

Please don’t listen to him and nominate Sanders.
Look, we had staffers who were #NeverTrump, but all it takes is a quick peek at what’s going on over at Planned Parenthood’s candidate forum to see what the other options are, no matter who wins the primary. Open borders, taxpayer-funded abortion through the third trimester, benefits for illegal aliens, higher taxes … no thanks.
