(11,785 posts)don't want her. They've been hugging the assumption that people voted for Obama because it was "historical," which is odd, as it would have been historical either way. Think about her big slogan: "Ready for Hillary." It sort of implies that she would have won in '08 if only the unwashed had been "ready" for her awesomeness. The notion that we were ready for a female President, but didn't want it to be her, has been kept at arm's length all these years.
There are still Hillary supporters who think folks on "the left" don't want Hillary because they're sexist, despite all the enthusiasm displayed for a Warren candidacy. It's the sort of pretzel logic you see in people who think that everything is someone else's fault.

No one can say he benefited from excessive media coverage. The mainstream media have tried to ignore his campaign. Turns out, the people filling all those venues across the country are there, in the flesh, with ears to hear.
The media could have covered those events more fairly if they'd wanted to. Clearly, they didn't cover them, and clearly it's because they didn't want to. Or were told not to by the very wealthy conservative corporate-types who own media entities.
At this point in his career, Bernie Sanders did not have to seek a national debate on any issue. But he has, and quite a few people are hearing him loud and clear.
He's earned those gains because quite a few people heard what he said. They'd been waiting to hear it a long time.

(13,877 posts)The news is ostensibly about Bernie, but one is hard pressed to find his name much. Hers...all over the place, every 3-5 lines or paragraph. I just howled in laughter. So transparent.

(12,471 posts)Bernie is going to pull ahead, and there will be a landslide, the likes of which were never before seen in this country!
If we all keep working for him, and his goals, we all shall benefit!
This is what revolution looks like!!
