You seem to be arguing about something that isn't an issue. She recognized what now milliions of people recognize about Sanders, that he is one of the smartest voices out there right now. That's the reason he is resonating with so many people, across the political landscape. NOT just with Democrats, but with all kinds of people.

Hillary resonates ONLY with a % of the loyal, Democratic base. Right now tht makes up only about 32% of the electorate, down from by 10% of where it was several years ago. And of that demographic, Sanders has already captured approx 30%.

What that means is that Hillary at this point is resonating with only a very small % of the electorate, while Sanders is gathering support from all across the political landscape.

I'm sure Whoopi, smart woman that she is, knows this and knows why.

That was the New York Times that reported that, based on BS's own writings on the topic. MADem Oct 2015 #60

Lol, OMG! Aside from the nonsense in the links, all of which failed to do what was intended since sabrina 1 Oct 2015 #64

There is a lot of "nonsense" in the links--and it was all written by Bernie Sanders, back in the day MADem Oct 2015 #65

Yes, that's what Bernie himself said. End of story, bad writing. It shows how little they can sabrina 1 Oct 2015 #66

No--he hasn't commented on these pieces. He was commenting on that dumb "rape fantasy" essay MADem Oct 2015 #67
