Washington Post editorial board: Bernie Sanders is selling "fiction" to voters

[Dovidoff]

You may call this opposite of an endorsement

By Editorial Board January 27 at 7:57 PM

Here is an excerpt:

"Mr. Sanders tops off his narrative with a deus ex machina: He assures Democrats concerned about the political obstacles in the way of his agenda that he will lead a “political revolution” that will help him clear the capital of corruption and influence-peddling. This self-regarding analysis implies a national consensus favoring his agenda when there is none and ignores the many legitimate checks and balances in the political system that he cannot wish away.

Mr. Sanders is a lot like many other politicians. Strong ideological preferences guide his thinking, except when politics does, as it has on gun control. When reality is ideologically or politically inconvenient, he and his campaign talk around it. Mr. Sanders’s success so far does not show that the country is ready for a political revolution. It merely proves that many progressives like being told everything they want to hear."

6. Yes indeed.

Sec. Clinton is my third choice. I have no wish to spoil your party, however. That would be pointless.

That not just the mainstream media but actually powerful democrats start speaking out against Bernie's fantasies before it's too late.
