2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Sanders Campaign has devolved from somewhat inspiring to downright embarrassing [View all]apcalc
(4,522 posts)And I have found him inspirational early on regarding some economic topics. These things are those that we need to talk about. We need to move the meter in his direction.
My feeling is that he is an idea guy. Sort of a " global" thinker. We need those kinds of people. As for implementing any of these ideas , it seems he has little actual practical plans. I find his follow through very lacking. Honestly, as he explains it, I think he doesn't know how to proceed. What will he do when he hits the brick wall ( to date) in the House ? He can't articulate his plans with much detail beyond the origin.
We also need people like Hillary, who are planners and doers, who can follow through, monitor and adjust, take the plans as far as they go. We also need someone who understands the world with a wide angle lens, not a narrow view, like the Republican view. She excels there.
It would be great if it wasn't an either/or.
At times, I do find Sanders "ego" way out of the box, sort of like Trump. ( a contested convention? WOWEE. ). I wish he did something for the
Democratic Party, down ballot Democrats like she is doing. We need to elect Democrats. Maybe he will. I am hopeful.
