NYT: "The Cult of Sore Losers" Low blow?

With a picture of Bernie..is that really fair?

Don't you think the guy feels some obligation to the all the people who came to his rallies and gave their hard-earned money? Not like they were Wall Street billionaires.

Hillary v. Trump

Hillary needs to build credibility among Reagan Democrats, to lure them back from Trump, who is getting most of his support from that demographic.

Trump needs to make inroads with suburban Rockefeller Republicans, who see Hillary as a centrist from with upper middle-class origins, i.e. one of them, and Trump as a potential loose cannon, a dangerous demagogue with his finger on the button.

Chances are that both of them are going to shape-shift and will be perceived differently by November to try to reach those audiences. Trump is going to tone it down and stress that he is a centrist, and Hillary is going to spend a lot of time in jeans rubbing elbows in American Legion and union halls with blue collar workers.

Thoughts?

A little before the polls here closed at 9 p.m., the polling site coordinator at Brooklyn Borough Hall estimated that about 10% of those who showed up to vote on Tuesday were previously removed by the board of elections.
