In reply to the discussion: A Message to Bernie Sanders’ Supporters: You Can’t Handle the Truth [View all]Phlem
(6,323 posts)I think the Sanders campaign clearly infuriates Clinton supporters which is why articles like this which are based largely on conjecture get play. Here is what the article ignores:
1)online metrics show Sanders has much more momentum than Clinton
2) Sanders polls much better among Blacks than he's credited for and particularly well among young Black and Latino people
3) Clinton is plagued by a lot of negative press: Clinton Foundation influence peddling when she was Secy of State, Bill's mischief, ethnic pandering and flip flopping (mass incarcerations, trade, environment)...3) Clinton's history of war advocacy and Wall Street proximity
4) the widespread perception that she is generally disliked and not trusted, in other words just another opportunistic career politician taking big money
Another person with an opinion.
