He was the good guy who slipped in past their nomination locks.  They couldn't turn him; he wouldn't be corrupted.  So they just had to sideline him and blockade his entire agenda.  Sadly, back then, they could pull that much off with relative ease.  And that legacy is why no one takes him seriously. He should be relieved he didn't get an envelope.  I think the envelopes were only for the targeted.  Absolutely no reason to target Jimmy.
