In reply to the discussion: It's Official: Team Clinton "is worried" about Bernie Sanders [View all]Baitball Blogger

The problem with neo-liberals is that they think that connecting with the soi-disant leaders of every demographic is enough. This is actually the flaw in the way government operates today. The idea is to seek quick consensus with leaders on an issue, and though that sounds like the sensible thing to do there is often dirty pool being played to select "friendlies" as leaders with the idea of undermining the will of the people. (Actually, it's not hard to undermine the will of the people. Just give them false information.)
In sum, she has to go past these leaders and go straight to the people.
Now, how she does that, well, I assume she has smart people in her inner circle and they should be able to figure it out.
