The Bernie phenomenon is not an embrace of socialism. It is a rejection of the Obama years. Hillary’s biggest mistake turns out to be accepting a position in the Obama administration.
The “takers” aren’t happy. Mitt’s 47% is not motivated to turn out for another Democrat.
For these reasons, even Joe Biden would lose to Trump.
The country has grown weary of another smooth-talking divider. We’re tired of slick. We’re tired of panderers. Sick of PC. We don’t like weakness in the face of what we perceive to be growing threats. More testosterone, please.
We’ll take that wild man with the whip....and the gun.
I live outside a large college town (UF). The Bern is beyond popular here. I noticed that a lot of Bern bumper stickers were right next to Ron Paul’s. These are people who probably won’t ever support Hillary.
Another thing to take into consideration is The Bern attracts a disproportionate amount of college students. College graduated this past week. These are kids with nothing better to do than to attend Bern rallies and vote often.
