re: #25 Great White Snark

Nothing Bernie has said compares to Trumps rhetoric. His insults. His bullying. A highly unfair comparison in my view.

Absolutely, totally agree. I was for Bernie originally but will likely go for HRC on Tuesday*. But there is an undercurrent here of “Bernie’s supporters are crazy, wild-eyed and he’s leading them over a cliff” and I think it’s mostly wrong. Bernie’s supporters range a spectrum. I know. My wife volunteers for Bernie in NH. I’ve been to a few events. Bernie himself doesn’t speak in such absolutes. Cornell West, who sometimes introduces him, does. I’m not a CW fan.

I think there is definitely the “youth” who may be purists, but I suspect that Bernie will throw his support behind HRC if she wins the nomination. Most of the people at the events I attended were older. There were a lot of veterans, too. I think they’ll vote. I don’t think many of them will vote republican.

*And this is surprising to me. I never liked Bill Clinton and held my nose voting for him. But I’m finally warming to Hillary.
