WAPO: Bernie Sanders's strange behavior

[ehrnst]

170. That's the inverse of the problem

Bernie rails against Dems for not coming out stronger for "true progressive candidates" then disses one in a very important race with a strong progressive record, saying "I don't know if he's progressive or not."

Bernie's JOB with the Democratic party is outreach. He says we need a 50 state strategy, but seems to want to use the postion to flex his litmus test on if the candidates dissents one inch from his own economic agenda.

Hillary does not have the JOB of outreach. And when she does so much as post a video encouraging women to stay strong, the shrieks go up "NO HILLARY! You don't get to own the resistance!!""

So when Hillary does say something, she's accused of "taking over" but when she isn't in the public eye, the same people say, "Look at Bernie, out there giving speeches, legislating. Hillary's off in the woods somewhere. See, she never was a real leader."

Whatever, carry on.

(not a peep about Obama windsailing - "hey, he looks good! And that $60 million book deal? Well that's not big money, really. Not like he's getting it for giving speeches.)
