Note, also, the planned presence of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders ("Independent"-VT) at the convention of Democratic Socialists of America. Were they honest about their true political orientation, almost all Democrats in Congress and far more than a few Republicans would join Sen. Sanders at the convention.
