I vehemently disagree with mr. rosenstein. I think Bernie Sanders is a decent man and a smart man who will make a fine president.

(11,014 posts)2. I liked that article!!
From the article ....
Sanders takes a line right out of the Republican playbook attacking Obama's record on bringing down unemployment insisting, "Real unemployment in this country is not 4.9 percent, it is 10 percent." This done on the day Obama is touting how far we have come under his administration where we have seen an increase of fourteen million jobs since his economic policies took effect compared with the end of the Bush Administration when we were losing 800,000 jobs a month. Republicans immediately pounced on Sanders saying "Of course, Sanders can criticize Obama for the high unemployment rate all he wants, but it's not like socialism has ever, at any time in history, led to an explosion in jobs. So he might want to tread lightly there."
Sanders advocates' tax increases for all. Even Democrats with long memories can't remember a President McGovern or a President Mondale. They remember Mondale suggesting a tax increase for everyone. In 1972 McGovern won only Massachusetts and DC and in 1984 Mondale won only Minnesota and DC. Remembering those losses vividly The Hill reported House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi made it clear, "We're not running on any platform of raising taxes".

Sanders would be demolished by the republicans. Time for some people to get out of the echo chamber and listen.

(18,115 posts)4. I enjoyed that, breathless as it was.
The first third was a party liner coming to terms with the fact that Bernie is a smart and good campaigner. He, like many of the insiders, didnt take Bernie and his message seriously.
Hey, if you think Bernie can't win the general, you better figure out how the establishment candidate can win the Democratic Primary.
