Mornin’ everyone. Hell of a primary last night. There were wins by both a Jew and a Nazi.

Seriously, though…I know Trump isn’t a Nazi, he just sympathizes with them. I still can’t believe he’s the GOP front runner. I expected him to hang around and be a constant reminder of how fucked up the Republican party is. I just didn’t expect them to surrender to Trump.

On the sane side of the aisle, we had a great illustration why Sanders did so much better than expected (expectations were that he’d win, but that Hillary would be close enough to keep the narrative under control). If you look at the speeches by Hillary and Bernie (yes, Bernie’s is long but you only have to watch a few minutes of it to see what I’m talking about) the differences between the two candidates couldn’t be further apart.

In her speech, she said, “I will fight for you.” and “I will work hard” and “I will” “I will” “I will” “I will” while in his speech, Bernie almost exclusively said “We will”. He offers a vision and a goal. There are things he wants to achieve. She offers to fight.

This is similar to 2008 when Hillary tried the 3am call and said she would be there to answer the phone and Obama said to us, “This isn’t about me. It’s about you, the voters.”
