Bernie Sanders’s fiction-filled campaign. HRC ROOM

Editorial Board of the Washington Post

SEN. BERNIE Sanders (I-Vt.) is leading in New Hampshire and within striking distance in Iowa, in large part because he is playing the role of uncorrupted anti-establishment crusader. But Mr. Sanders is not a brave truth-teller. He is a politician selling his own brand of fiction to a slice of the country that eagerly wants to buy it.

7. Thanks for posting this. Like all politicians, he tells people

what they want to hear. He has zero facts to back up his claims. He is depending on the idealism of young people to help him win. He can't deliver, especially his "revolution" claims.

Revolution? He'll be fortunate to get 15% of his voters to the polls -especially in the caucus states. He has few endorsements from Congress. How will he have coat tails to create the kind of Congress he will need. Delusional and dreams of grandeur.

10. I replied to this in DU public space

and just pointed out to those expressing outrage that Bernie is a politician and perhaps some of the points made in the article deserve some consideration because a lot is at stake. I expect to be piled on heavily and probably won't even look to see how much hostility I gathered, but I did think putting a reasonable comment out there was worth it--reminding other so-called "democrats" that a lot is at stake with this election and what would unfold after it.
