The three candidates agreed to the \u201cMeld\u201d, as they are calling it, following last week\u2019s debates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis shows how desperate the Dem\u2019s are,\u201d said Vice President Mike Pence on hearing the news. \u201cThey know that no one of them can defeat the greatest president this country has ever had \u2013 Donald Trump,\u201d exclaimed Pence as he donned a red \u201cMAGA\u201d cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Democratic Party Chair Tom Perez sees it differently. \u201cThe strategy is brilliant and we are so grateful that science has brought us to this point. We plan to run Bernie as a conglomerate, a candidate that brings the Sanders\u2019 passion, Warren\u2019s policy chops and Harris\u2019 ability to win us California in one complete package. The real winners in this will be the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So top-secret was this operation that only one other Democratic Campaign was even aware of it. Joe Biden learned of the Mind Meld through his own personal fiber optic network, and while he would not comment personally, an anonymous member of his campaign confirmed: \u201cHe is not pleased!\u201d We have not yet learned the identity of the \u201cmelder\u201d, but will continue to probe\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WASHINGTON &#8211; The Democratic Party made a cryptic announcement on July 4 that has rocked the political world: \u201cSenator Bernie Sanders has undergone a potentially <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/2019\/07\/12\/democrats-narrow-the-field-by-psychically-merging-candidates\/\" title=\"Democrats Narrow the Field By Psychically Merging Candidates\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3666,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[4],"tags":[41],"coauthors":[91],"class_list":["post-3665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national","tag-washington"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/TWFI-2019_07_12.png","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8JVRF-X7","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3665"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3665"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3665\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3668,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3665\/revisions\/3668"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3665"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thewinooski.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=3665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
