20. Who is suggesting "one way"?

The black guy with a funny name gave great speeches, got air time, developed a war chest, and made the most of free opportunities in the media.

You have to admit that Bill Clinton and Obama both got attention for their lighthearted, yet serious speeches. They developed reputations that essentially snowballed and built momentum.

If Bernie can do something parallel, that great!! So far, there's not a hint that he's up to it. Hilary is not quite the speech maker that Bill was, but she doesn't have to compete with history; she only has to compete with whoever is running against her!!

Again, put Bernie's last speech against Hillary (as an example), pretend you are a clueless, independent who identifies with some group (college coed, immigrant family, minority, young parent, working woman, new union member, etc.). Just listen to a few clips of each, like five minutes in the middle. These people don't read opinion columns, care about Benghazi, or understand oligarchies.

There's your 10% or 20% winner in the swing states. Right now, I can't see Bernie winning over Hillary with the appearances I've seen so far. I'll vote for the Democrat, but I would prefer the Democrat wins. I'd really hate to see Jeb in the White House!
