are drawn to the resentful negativism and hostility of populist messages and those who are drawn to candidates focusing on positive plans to fix problems and advance society. Bernie or Hillary, and notably, Hillary's principled and goal-focused liberalism won big, even with the large conservative spoiler vote for him in many states and with Russia and the Republicans investing heavily in his victory.

Yes, Sanders says he has plans also, but his are constantly used as delivery systems for attacks on other Democrats. Whatever's going on in his head, no amount of common purpose in his avowed plans causes him to see other Democrats as allies to join with to advance our nation.

This huge, defining difference will show more clearly as time goes on. I believe just coverage of the shocking behaviors of many of those drawn to him, which was light in 2016 compared to what it's going to be, will enlighten a lot of people. It's not just that he wouldn't control the "lock her up-level" antagonism toward Democrats in those who listened to him then, he couldn't have if he'd tried. And he won't be able to now.
