2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHere's why Bernie actually did win the debate
When Karl Rove calls you a cranky hobbit. It means that the republicans don't want to run against you.Vermont Senator Bernier (sic) Sanders came across as an elderly, dyspeptic Bilbo Baggins attending a British Labour Party meeting, Rove said. Mrs. Clinton might have looked good Tuesday standing on a platform with three intellectual dwarves and a cranky hobbit."
Dyspeptic Bilbo Baggins?
Keep it real Karl.

Rove is an ass but don't know how you read into this that they are afraid to run against him

Earning Karl Rove's displeasure shows Bernie is doing something right.

Rove is more like Grima Wormtongue
and Bernie is Gandalf: "Be silent! Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm!"
Actually, Bernie kind of looks like Gandalf!
