NY Times: Bernie Sanders to Cut Hundreds of Staff Members and Turn to California

56. It is very obvious that he doesn't want to actually talk to voters.

He doesn't do the meet&greets, the diners and social centers and churches and mosques and temples. The one time he tried, was it in South Carolina? He bombed awfully. But it is through talking with ordinary voters that you find out what *they* think is the problem, and the solutions to them. The BS supporters, knowing that their candidate is incapable of actually talking to voters instead of lecturing them (what we call 'splaining these days) have taken to calling direct contact with voters for "pandering". The rest of us call it the political ideal. It is what we *want* politicians to do - to listen to the people. ANd Hillary CLinton does it better than anyone. And that is why she's winning.

Oh, and yeah, it's much cheaper - and a way to subvert Citizens United while she's at it!
