Clinton doubles down on Sanders criticism, warns that he's promising 'the moon'

[betsuni]

69. Many Sanders supporters say how disillusioned they were with President Obama.

For some reason they imagined he ran as a populist promising to change everything about America. Now there's actually not only a populist promising to change everything about America, but promising the moon as well.

Much much more disillusion. Too many "politiphobes" (Jonathan Rauch: "Between 25 and 40 percent of Americans ... have a severely distorted view of how government and politics are supposed to work. ... They see the contentious give-and-take of politics as unnecessary and distasteful. Specifically, they believe that obvious, commonsense solutions to the country's problems are out there for the plucking. The reason these obvious solutions are not enacted is that politicians are corrupt, or self-interested, or addicted to unnecessary partisan feuding." ) Exactly what Sanders says, that progressive legislature is impossible because Congress is corrupt. That if he becomes president he'll lead rallies forcing lawmakers to do their jobs. He'll hold rallies in Kentucky and Mitch McConnell will do his job. He'll get money out of politics and everything will be fine because that's the only problem.

Hillary is correct.
