You seem to believe that any suggestion to that effect or that Clinton's is advancing her positions is some sort of indictment on Bernie.

There is a gender subtext to all of this: that this historic achievement of a woman finally--after 240 years of our nation--a major party candidate for the presidency is denied her and attributed to a man, as though her own success doesn't even belong to her.


Love you Baines!
