more clearly than does Charlie Pierce. Not even Taibbi. Drop the mic, sir. Boom.

Charlie Pierce hits the mark...a true journalist.

Applause for him, not Trump.

Aren't contrasts and comparrisons great?!!

Charlie Pierce is a national treasure, no doubt.

They can call him that all day long, but he's the sanest person running.

The Leaders of the Democrats have a fixation on the South and keep wanting to run someone in a cowboy hat. It kinda started with LBJ sweeping the country after Kennedy. They ran a couple of Northerners and lost but then won with Carter and then lost running more Yankees and then won two terms with Bubba.

They act like the black guy from Chicago (I think of him as being from Hawaii) doesn't count because he's just a response to the failed Bush Administration.

Keep in mind their strategy has led to a lot of Southern Blue Dogs gaining decision making positions and shifting the party to the Right and now they feel the need to defend that strategy or they'll lose those positions to a new generation of Liberals.

Nearly every policy proclamation Bernie makes could have been put forth by Hubert Humphrey, Paul Wellstone or Ted Kennedy, word-for-word.

He is on the Democratic wing of the party.

"There is not going to be much point in trying to understand this campaign unless you understand the difference between these two visions, and how they could come to pass, and there's not going to be much point in trying to understand this campaign unless you understand the difference between a political revolution of the considered spirit and a political revolution of the raw appetites. In a perilous world, that makes all the difference."

Norman Goldman has been trying.

Other than that, ok.

Consider yourselves warned.

A snapshot of reckoning day.

who went on to rule the country. The Donald is nothing more than a bankrupt happy "billionaire". No comparison.

of saving Trump supporters from themselves.

Bernie gives the strongest and most concise voice to straightening out their misdirected anger, he can't save them all but some will have epiphanies along the way.

Thanks for the thread, kpete.
