re: #196 NO SMOCKING GUN!

Yglesias puts too much stock in Vermont elections, as if the rest of the nation will react like the residents of that (small) state.

Sanders has yet to be hit hard by the right-wing attack machine. They will take every criticism that Sanders has made of Israel, and tell the masses of Americans that Sanders hates Je$u$ (because Israel = Je$u$.)

Sure, that won’t work here in California, but again, the election outcome does not turn on California because Trump can’t win here no matter what.

But in highly religious states - and all the swing states are highly religious - it will matter.
