Why Sanders rises and Bannon falls

Excerpts:

The great fault line in American politics is between the pure progressivism of Sanders, and the modern Republican combination of crony capitalist conservatism and alt-right fanaticism.

What makes the Sanders phenomenon so powerful is his consistency of purpose and his honestly of presentation. Think about this: From the moment he began his presidential campaign and was virtually blacked out by the mainstream media until the current news today where Sanders has become a star, Sanders has maintained public approval at exceptionally high levels.

The secret of success for Sanders is that his form of progressive populism, dramatic change and fundamental reform are majority views in America and throughout the democratic world.

While Sanders challenges the status quo and supports a Medicare-for-all healthcare system, virtually every other democratic country in the world enjoys the benefits of this system where healthcare is deemed a right. When the public option was being debated during the Obama years, it always maintained strong majority support in poll after poll.

... On these matters, Sen. Sanders is on the right side of politics and history; President Trump and Steve Bannon are on the wrong side. Six months to a year from now, Sanders will still be riding high while Bannon will probably be working at some place other than the White House.
