"obedient politicians with the resources to win elections, safe havens in the event of defeat, and lucrative career opportunities after they leave office. They guarantee favorable news coverage to politicians who follow the party line, while harassing and undermining opponents. And they support a large standing army of party intellectuals and activists."

Krugman, The Conscience of a Liberal

Uh oh, Did Krugman call Sanders a white supremacist?!? [View all] JonLeibowitz Apr 2016 OP

"prominent political figures", not necessarily a "candidate." The REPUB party is full of racists. in_cog_ni_to Apr 2016 #1

Are they populists though? In the present cycle I have only ever heard that apply to JonLeibowitz Apr 2016 #2

I don't think even Krugman would stoop so low. Bernie's family was killed in the Holocaust. in_cog_ni_to Apr 2016 #3
