In the end, Bernie Sanders was right, and what the Democrats need to learn from his campaign.

119. comment on that Eichenwald tweet already. That was like out of the Trump playbook.

"Trust me, I saw it."

We went over that issue of moving waste in the primaries. Was that really going to hurt him with potential voters that went for Trump anyway? Whether there would have been sit-outs on the democratic side is not in question though, just not for that issue, which if I recall the details, is far less ethically problematic than you make it sound.

I have no fantasy that Hillary is the only vulnerable candidate, or that Sanders wouldn't have had an uphill battle as somebody meddling with the primal forces of nature, not because of Trump but because of the whole political machine and its propaganda wing, our mainstream media. But I find it irritating that people want to blame Sanders because Clinton couldn't effectively defend against his accusations about her coziness with big business, nor even simply put up a strong enough message of intention to actually advocate against the influence of those interests. I'll repeat, "I basically told them to cut it out." I'm sure that had as much of a ring to it to everybody else as it did to me.
