2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Bernie has already Won [View all]
Lets be honest - do you think any of the candidates would be talking about "Income inequality" if Bernie was not in the race bringing the issue front and center to the American public
or Free College tuition
or Paid maternity leave
These were issues Democratic candidates dared not mention in fear of the GOP backlash yet they are issues Bernie has held dear to his heart to bring to the American people for decades.
Without Bernie in the race all we would be hearing about is finding "Middle Ground" with a bunch of Tea Farty fanatics

I agree. Now we just need to consolidate that victory by putting Hillary in the White House.
