Sanders has ended the coronation and fired up the grassroots. Now Clinton's electability argument is crumbling too.
It would be hard to overstate what Bernie Sanders has already achieved in his campaign for president, or the obstacles he’s had to surmount in order to achieve it. Not only has he turned a planned Hillary Clinton coronation into an exercise in grass-roots democracy, he’s reset the terms of the debate. We are edging closer to the national conversation we so desperately need to have. If we get there, all credit goes to Bernie.
Sanders got bagged again in Iowa, this time by a state party chair, one Andrea McGuire. Like Schultz, McGuire’s specialty is high-dollar fund raising, and like Schultz she was deeply involved in Clinton’s 2008 campaign. Under the esoteric rules of the Iowa Democratic caucuses, and after a string of lucky coin tosses, Clinton eked out a 700.52 to 696.86 margin, not in votes cast but in a mysterious commodity known as “delegate equivalents.”

ReplyDeleteBernie will give her a job. In several occasions I have helped 80 year old people put grociers in their cars at know time did I think they would be the perfect age to run a super power USA. I'm come on. I'm 52 and can't find my car keys half the time. Just my opinion. If he won two terms he would be pushing 90. Serously. It's not age discrimination it's science.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is scared to death of the Clintons. They rule the Democratic party with all their millions and support form the middle east.
ReplyDelete9:06, b.s. Sanders is sharper than most people I know half his age. He certainly can make a better argument than the scripted Rubio.
