I just don't understand this....
Is it the superdelegates? Or just an unimaginative assumption? Why can Cruz potentially overcome Trump, and Sanders can’t overcome Clinton? I’m actually getting a complex about this, and I don’t get complexes. I’ve started getting personally offended when on the news, discussing the race between either Cruz or Trump, it’s always them running against HILLARY. Always HILLARY. Never a possibility that it might be Bernie. I minded John Kasich the least of all the Republican candidates until he said “Bernie Sanders will not be the Democratic candidate.” It would serve them all right if he wins! In bibiWorld, I would make Chris Matthews, Jonathan Capehart, the entire nasty editorial board of the Washington Post, and the NY Daily News watch every known clip of Bernie-denial, over and over again. And then they’d peel me grapes while I soaked in the hot tub. But that’s another story.
I admit I’m pretty much a Bernie wench. I’ll be really sad if he’s not nominated. I really think he is the Gandhi of our time and place. I’ve admired him for a long time, clear back from the time of his tenure as the wildly popular mayor of Burlington. I found this article about that time of his life, a reminder that this is, indeed, a man who can form coalitions, face down the nay-sayers and get things done.
I’m really excited to see how he does here in West Virginia on May 10. People are not too fond of the Clintons here for one reason or another, but probably mostly due to Hillary’s insistence on riding Obama’s environmental coattails. I suppose most of the “not affiliated” will probably vote in the Republican primary. So Bernie might actually stand a chance here, who knows.
Stay tuned!
