(31,630 posts)Sanders (Rev Al kept pronouncing it as Saunders last night) was on MSNBC. So we are watching as we are making dinner.
And my Gio - bless his heart - is watching intently.
It was a question about race - and why he's not attracting that crowd - and The Gio goes -
But he didn't answer the question. He went to economic policy and started talking about free college.
Me - and so what?
Him - those people haven't prepared black kids for college. Shut this nonsense off.
Which lead to a discussion about how Bernie was talking about 'not being on a street corner doing drugs blah blah' . . .
Sanders has three points of light - that's it. He's so focused on college that he can't get around to admitting that even during the Clinton Admin (he was a Member of the House that entire time) urban and rural children were getting the shaft. They weren't getting the best BASIC education . . . Now they aren't prepared for two or four year college.
