At the start of the Democratic presidential race, the media viewed the contest as a cakewalk. The compassionate and gloriously wonky Hillary Clinton faced no one who could be viewed as her equal. Game over. When Sen. Bernie Sanders made noises about running against her, nobody thought he could be the actual Democratic nominee. He was old, he was cranky, and he wasn't even a Democrat.
The conventional media wisdom had it that Sanders would be a healthy deterrent to the Clinton tendency to crawl toward the corporatist middle. On NPR, Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne saw it as positive: "Let's list two names who we don't get to talk about, Eugene Debs and Norman Thomas. This is the most serious socialist candidacy for president since they ran. But Bernie Sanders has a long list of particulars that he wants to put on the table, and I think by shifting the campaigns to economics, he will generally help Democrats."
Yes, the media elite, which eternally predicts the tea party and the Christian conservatives will destroy the Grand Old Party, could only see better days ahead for Democrats with a self-described socialist contender in the race.

Before the NH primaries, my disgust for the HildaBeast was a single RCH greater than that of 'The Bern'! Since then, they have both turned to the dark side in an attempt to corner the minority voting block. "The Bern" having breakfast with the worst race-baiting tax-cheat in history - while the HildaBeast courts the Black Congressional Caucus...whose very name is divisive and racist!
But 10:25PM, this is how the Democrat party rolls now. Clintons are notorious for baiting and spinning their own brand of mythical dreamland to woe voters into the depths of Hell. They've made a living at it - and a handsome one at that. Bernie's economic proposal couldn't be paid for even if American commandeered all the currency in existence on this planet. Yet, young voters - uneducated due to the Common Core indoctrination lacking basic math skills - fall for this trickery for a number of reasons.
1) They simply do not like Hillary. She's a criminal. Who would in their right mind other than the ones who live in her 'past' glory. 2) She's out of touch with their 'generation' even against a 74 year old Peter Pan. 3) She doesn't have a message. Well, if you watch her speeches (hard as they are to stomach) her message is like the never-ending flip flopping of a desperate candidate knowing she's sliding off into her never-never land.
Pied Piper Sanders seems to bedazzle them by meeting with Sharpton (a man who is actually not for equality because to achieve it, he loses his revenue stream) and playing Simon & Garfunkle feel-good, warm fuzzy anthemesque music while preaching free cake for everyone!
I'm going out on a limb here but it's really the parents' fault for this younger free generation because they didn't make these kids do chores to earn an allowance. They just gave them free stuff, even while in college. So anyone proposing free-free-free is aces.
The American Pravda loves this because it further enslaves everyone to the fantastical vahlhalla of decadence myth! Something they adore to promote.
