(57,936 posts)time. And Bernie was right.
Hillary could have done and I believe did the same thing.
The MSM will continue to ask Bernie about ISIS when he is focusing on something else just as they continued to ask Hillary about her e-mails.
But there is a major difference. Bernie did not cause the ISIS problem. Hillary did cause her own e-mail problem.
That is a major difference. ISIS is one of many issues that Bernie is talking about and dealing with. Hillary needed to deal with the e-mail issue because it was hers alone, of her making and was a topic that only she could really discuss in depth.
Apples and oranges.
All questions will be answered. Bernie is good at answering questions. What he said in Baltimore was so refreshing.
The media cares more about what happens in Syria than what happens in America's urban communities, Baltimore being a prime example.
What is going on in Detroit these days? What is going on in New York City? In Baltimore? In Los Angeles? in Miami?
Because the early primaries are in smaller states that have no major US cities, our political conversation is normally skewed toward the problems of rural America. In fact it is our big cities that need more attention right now. Las Vegas is fairly large but does not have the problems that our largest cities have.
I'm so glad that Bernie went to Baltimore and is drawing attention to the blight in that city.
