45. So the same media that fawned over Bernie Sanders in 2016

Wed Jul 24, 2019, 09:31 PM

Jul 2019

are attacking him today? His message has not changed, other than millionaires have been dropped from his canned responses to any question.

The media likes blood and conflict. In 2016 it had Hillary's emails and Bill's past indescretions. Today it has Bernie and his campaign management fighting with his own campaign's Union, and Elizabeth Warren draining away Bernie's wealthier and better educated progressive supporters.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
