2016 Postmortem

2016-04-07T17:24:17+00:00

What a rigid arrogant ideologue Bernie Sanders can be sometimes, with his shouting, hectoring, and insults. Hillary isn't qualified because she gets so much money from Wall Street? Well, FDR got 25% of his funding from Wall Street, Obama got twice as much as McCain from Wall Street and broke records in terms of Wall Street funding, and every presidential candidate has gotten enormous amounts through SuperPacs and before them through direct donations. But, oh, a little birdie landed on his podium. Must be a sign from God, just like Ted Cruz who says that he is destined by God to be president. My goodness, what is this country coming to?

That's a lot of toxicity to keep bottled up. Good luck. Hope you feel better.

Have Clinton supporters really attacked FDR and the New Deal? I haven't seen that.

But, Jimmy Carter can certainly be attacked for his union busting (destroying the Teamsters) and his deregulation activities that alienated liberals and helped Reagan get elected.
