Idiot du Jour

Someone hasn't been getting enough attention:

Ralph Nader said Hillary Clinton is unfairly winning the Democratic nomination with unelected superdelegates and closed primaries that shut out independent voters who prefer Bernie Sanders.

“If he had an open primary, he’d have beaten her,” Nader told The Hill in a Facebook Live interview on Monday. "It should be open to all voters. And that helped her; that gave her a big advantage."

Why should "all voters" be able to vote in party primaries? That just proves to me how clueless Nader is.

That's the guy who gave us President Dubyah.

Oh, and this is choice:

Nader argued that American voters deserve better than a binary choice between Clinton and Trump, two candidates he finds so loathsome that he refuses to say who is worse. He said Trump is a bigot and a sexist and called Clinton “corrupt” and a “finger to the wind politician.”

But while he had nothing positive to say about Clinton, he acknowledged it was “a bit refreshing” that Trump had taken on the mainstream media and “churned things up” by putting into the mainstream opposition to international trade deals and Wall Street cronyism.

Yeah, well, so did Sanders, you dolt.

Some people just never learn.

Via Joe.My.God. There's video at both sites, if you want to subject yourself to half an hour of Ralph Nader.
