Staying Relevant: Why Anti-Obama Progressives Have Jumped Aboard the Bernie Sanders Bandwagon
Trevor LaFauci April 12, 2016

Agreements don't make for good television.

Which is why for the past seven years we've also seen a number of progressives jump on this bandwagon. There is money to be made in being a turncoat, and we've seen a number of so-called "progressives" chose to turn their backs on President Obama in an effort to remain relevant as the world passes them by. Among these Democrats-in-name-only are people such as Bill Press, Thom Hartmann, H.A. Goodman, Cornel West, Ben Jealous, and Cenk Uyger just to name a few. This ragtag group of faux liberals have been staples on the media circuit for the sole reason that they present an anomaly: they are all people who should be supporting the president but simply aren't.

So it should come as no surprise that all six of these men have become rabid Bernie Sanders supporters with West and Jealous being official Sanders surrogates, Press, Hartman, and Goodman openly advocating for Sanders with their writings, and Uyger and his team at The Young Turks openly and unapologetically supporting his candidacy. For them, the Sanders campaign is a gold mine: it gives them a chance to bash President Obama as Sanders has continuously done and it also gives them a chance to bash Hillary Clinton, who is not only running on the Obama legacy but is also well on her way to becoming our next president. Which means that once elected, there will be a built-in market for these six men on the cable news shows.

The writer obviously knows nothing about those he refers to.

3. There is money to be made in being a turncoat! No truer words!!

Of course, they make the money at the cost of their permanent reputations. In the long view, they find themselves a dirty toenail on a footnote of history!!!

Ben Jealous, especially--he'll NEVER be loved! LOL!

What these ninnies do not understand, though, is that they won't be Hot Properties on the cable shows--why pay a pissed off faux progressive, when you can get a rabid, blathering hard-core conservative to put on a much better show? They'll be the LAST called, when the "better" people aren't available.
