Donald Trump's early victory could prove fortuitous for Bernie Sanders' campaign.
Ultimately, Sanders will see a boost in the number of his supporters once the Democratic populous gets a good look at how Donald Trump tears into the heavily-favored Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
Clinton simply provides too much fodder for the sharp-tongued billionaire real estate mogul.
In the same way no one saw Donald Trump coming, it's pretty safe to say that no one saw Trump ending up the presumptive Republican presidential nominee barely so early, barely into the month of May.
As Trump won an overwhelmingly in Indiana, prompting his two lagging competitors Ted Cruz and John Kasich to drop from the race, things get really interesting -- and scary.
So, Trump's attacks on Hillary Clinton will begin, and vice versa, the Democratic Party leaders and members will get a good sneak preview of what lies ahead for their party darling.
It won't be pretty.
Mystifyingly, all of the sudden, as if they hadn't thought of it before, Democrats appear antsy about a showdown between Trump and Clinton. And they should be.
The truth is that Trump will have the time of his life ripping into Clinton, who simply carries too much baggage. The email scandal, Benghazi, wall street connections, Walmart links and her husband's past infidelities -- regardless of whether they are worthy of attack or not -- are all game in Trump's world.
The real question is where has Democratic Chairman Debbie Wasserman Shultz's head been all this time?
The writing was on the wall, while Shultz was clearly favoring, protecting her sister in arms by scheduling debates at odd times on the weekends, so as few Americans as possible would witness the the seasoned Sanders match Clinton point for point.
The polls have consistently shown Bernie Sanders beating Trump Soundly. In a Trump -- Hillary matchup, it's not so sound. In fact, there's good chance Trump could end up the next president of the United States if he takes on Clinton.
Conversely, Sanders has nothing to hide. He won't take any of Trumps' phony crap, and will hold him to account as best anyone can on the truth.
As far as the Truth goes, Clinton stands on shaky ground, period. We never needed another Clinton, just like we didn't need another Bush.
Now, Sanders has got momentum again with his own big win in Indian last night, but he's got an uphill battle.
He's right in pointing out that all Democratic primaries should be open. Primaries that are closed like New York's, only disenfranchise millions of independent voters -- a growing segment of the voting population -- who are prevented from voting and who happen to predominantly favor Sanders.
But there is hope. In any open primaries of course, now faced with the bizarre and frightening prospect of Trump as president, registered independents and even Republicans need to pour on the votes for Sanders.
In addition, as Sanders points out, the Super delegates that have sided with Clinton so far are permitted to change their minds and go with Sanders. And that is big.
Now, it's up to the people to come to the aid of the Sanders' campaign in the same way he came to our aid by initiating his presidential run in the first place.
We the people need to make such an obvious case that we want Bernie as our man, that even the crooked Shultz will wake up in the same way the Republican Party chair Reince Preibus threw up his hands in the wake of an overwhelming tide of support for Trump last night.
And the super delegates should follow. This is such a pivotal point in our
