The Sanders nuclear option: How would it play out?

This is annoying.

This is annoying.

In what sense?

This is not the route the Sanders campaign should be taking. It only makes things more complicated. In reality he has so much more control over the long term future of the party than Clinton does if he plays his cards right, but going about it this way will make that almost impossible.

He should drop this foolish strategy, drop the attacks on Clinton, refocus on his issues/message, and make his goal to push the party leftward and radically transform the process in which future nominees will be chosen in the future.

It makes sense that the Sanders campaign would repeatedly undermine the legitimacy of the primaries if they were planning on overturning the result using undemocratic caucuses and superdelegates, a system that Tad Devine created.

Tad Devine created caucuses and superdelegates?

Ironically, Tad Devine, Sanders' top adviser, who was instrumental in the creation of the superdelegate process, defended their existance.

"It's pretty hard to win a nomination in a contested race and almost impossible to win without the superdelegeates," Devine said in 2008 in an interview on NPR.

Now, Devine's boss, who is running on an anti-establishment message is losing the superdelegate race.

Tad Devine routinely wrote pieces in 2008 about superdelegates and was basically the expert on them. He obviously didn't create caucuses.

Looking at is wiki, Devine's major clients have been Dukakis, Gore, Kerry, and Sanders, lol! Not the most successful group.
