ADAM NAGOURNEY is heavy artillery, and his piece, Similarities Aside, Bernie Sanders Isn’t Rerunning Howard Dean’s 2004 Race proves the Times has to acknowledge its top writers if not top Democratic contenders.
ADAM NAGOURNEY does not like to be told what to write, and TPV applauds his independent mind, while letting him know we can help. Adam, you piece is not as biting as it could be:
- You report that only young people are beyond Bernie Sanders’ campaign, but you quote such spring chicks as 87 and 67 year-old #womenforBernie. So, make the conclusion stick: By default, Hillary is liked by neither young nor old.
- Daily Kos maybe said that “Sanders’s [crowd] ill reflect[s] a modern Democratic Party that is at least 40 percent minority and overwhelmingly female .” But, most tellingly is that this weekend the Daily Kos was the first to indicate that billionaire George Soros money supports both Hillary and BlackLivesMatter, which hijacked the recent Seattle Bernie rally.
So, welcome to the new Sanders reality, ADAM NAGOURNEY, a reality which has no big money to vie for its behind, and which married no cigars to wait in line for his time to chirp.
TPV only hopes you won’t cave in when the open ended Clinton promises will be thrown at you, Mr. NAGOURNEY.
