We reported a week ago that Washington Post conservative columnist Max Boot, who has pledged to vote for a Democrat in November no matter what, was trying to nudge his new friends to “do the smart thing and coalesce quickly around one of the three moderates — Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, or Michael Bloomberg.”
We wouldn’t call Buttigieg a moderate by any stretch, but that’s beside the point. The polls show that the Democrats want Bernie Sanders, and many are already convinced the DNC is working to stab him in the back again — but he and the Bernie Bros just keep drawing the crowds.
Now Boot’s colleague, conservative blogger Jennifer Rubin, also seems to think her new friends in the Democratic Party are picking the wrong horse.
"Oh, let's pick the socialist who had a heart attack and won't release his med records *and* turns up his nose at millions to fund a campaign!" Brilliant. Just brilliant.

“In political journalism, Rubin is openly regarded as a hack and perhaps a shill by an ideologically diverse subset of her peers. It's brutal.” https://t.co/zgzhHDQEeo

Hi, Jennifer, did you know that Michael Bloomberg, who is just several months younger than Bernie Sanders, had heart surgery in 2000 and he didn't disclose that when he ran for mayor and he currently has two stents?
