2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Clinton May Take The Nomination But Sanders Has Won The Debate [View all]6chars
(3,967 posts)33. He did a good job articulating the problem of wealth inequality
and concentration in this country, and all that results from it. That is what got him as far as he got, and that is an important message. The rest of what he had to say, a lot of it seemed just appended to check off boxes, was not as compelling to voters and he did not convince enough that he personally would be a good president.
But in the forum about whether or not there is too much wealth concentration in this country, Bernie's issue won the day. Hopefully that will bump the country toward action in the right direction on this issue.

Hillary mentioned a few, but never followed through. Bernie brought it to the masses

As an editor, in the article's spirit, I'd change the "may" to the more logical "might".

I'll give you a point for that. IF we knew that closed polls and irregularities were not a factor.

He can't even articulate them -- except with a telepromptr -- he'll fail on his feet.
