Weekend with Bernie: A Fresh Dark Horse
Why hordes of regular folks prefer Trump over most of his rivals hardly needs extensive analysis: Trump is funny, appears "his own man," and serves as a sort of wild card.
But why Bernie?
Over at The Hill, H.A. Goodman offers three reasons . . . sort of. The first reason is a confused mishmash of polling blather. But check out Goodman's second and third reasons.
"Clinton can't win the Democratic nomination or presidency with the FBI as a running mate," Goodman notes in bold face type. And "Classified information has already been found within Clinton's emails and there's a great likelihood of more revelations pertaining to breaches in protocol. . . ."
So, the reason for Bernie's popularity is that Hillary is so bad a candidate?
Well, duh. She's always been a bad candidate.
Indeed, Hillary's a corrupt insider, while Sanders, like Trump, can be plausibly construed as an outsider. But, like Trump, that plausibility is superficial.
Sanders is a lifelong politician, and when challenged about this, his retort was that he has always stood against the monied interests. He thinks that doesn't make him a "career politician."
Maybe being a career politician means never having to look up the meaning of "career" or "politician."
This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.
