Drop a tear in pity for those so damaged that they cannot see what you and I see.

Bernie is keeping his message tightly focused, so as to not get dragged into unwinnable fights like the difference between ethnic Jews, secular Jews, and religious Jews. Or the value of any woman over every man running for the White House. He can do this, because he's consistent, coherent, and uncompromised by corporate cash.

Hillary can't, and she's got the corrupt family foundation, the private email server, and her patchy record as Senator and SoS as well to try to reconcile with the good of the country and its citizens...she thinks she can propagandize her problems away.

It doesn't usually work, and even with the mass media and the Party elite in the bag she's not making progress.
