Hillary Clinton

(1,632 posts)The media is finally beginning to actually criticize Bernie. There is little doubt his supporters will be crushed under the weight of a negative press because he has been handled with kid gloves thus far. They are desensitized to the onslaught of negative, actually vile press Hillary is subjected to but now will now have just a minuscule taste of the antagonism she has endured for decades. He and his supporters are being revealed to be so out of their depth, it is ridiculous.
In addition to his lack of composure or having a temperament to be leader of the free world, Bernie suffers from a disturbing moral relativism that causes him to condone violence if it serves to advance what he sees as his righteous cause. His situational ethics are being called out by everyone at this point and if he and his supporters were smart, they would unequivocally denounce it. But he won't because he lacks the character to do so.
I predict he will be unable to stay calm or on message and will become even more hostile to the press, the party and the "establishment". He may have been a politician for decades but he is reacting like a rookie on the public stage. If you can't handle the heat without a tantrum, global politics may not be the best fit for your skills. If he needs examples on the way to behave with grace under fire, he would do well to learn from President Obama and soon-to-be President, Hillary Clinton.
