US Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is not likely to endorse presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s bid for the White House after calling her “evil,” says an American analyst.
Myles Hoenig made the comments on Sunday while discussing Sanders’s growing feud with the party’s leadership.
The Vermont Senator has called Clinton “the lesser of two evils," while saying that he will not reappoint the Democratic National Committee chairwoman Florida Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
“The outcome of this feud between Sanders and the Democratic establishment has taken a turn. It looks less and less likely that he will endorse her if she becomes the nominee for their party,” Hoenig said.
“Can one call someone evil and then say go vote for them because the other candidate is more evil? He would lose a lot of credibility, and his supporters, many who have not voted before or had already registered independent of either party, would not listen to him anyway if he were to endorse her,” he explained.
Hoenig said there was no difference between Republicans and Democrats when it comes to corruption and people like Shultz and Clinton are controlled by corporations.
“Many of us have known for a very long time that the Democratic Party is as corrupt as the Republicans. Money from corporations control the agenda of both parties and their spokespeople, such as Wasserman Shultz and Clinton for the Democrats, who play their roles very well,” the analyst noted.
Throughout the primary process, Shultz “rigged” and "sabotaged" Sanders' campaign and “made it very difficult for Sanders to have a fair hearing.”
Despite having a narrow chance of winning the Democratic nomination, Sanders says he is staying in the race for the White House because he does not want Americans to vote "for the lesser of two evils," in an apparent reference to Clinton.
“It’s very interesting to now hear Sanders referring to Hillary Clinton as the lesser evil. This is usually the argument made by many as the only reason to vote for one party or the other,” Hoenig argued.
“Another outcome of this feud is that a third, and even fourth voice, is being sought. With a majority of voters wanting an Independent candidate in the race, the Green Party has its best opportunity ever to be on the national stage for a presidential election,” he concluded.
