The more I see of Bernie the more I believe he is the real thing … a true “progressive” with all the drive to bring change.
Skepticism, however, comes from Bernie’s predecessors and their fate .. La Follette, Thoman, Teddy R.
Even in Europe, the real world steps on and moderation is reality. What happned to the promises of François Hollande? Does anyone think Jeremy Corbyn is going to be PM of the UK or if that did happen he would lead the UK as far left as his speeches promise?
It appears that Hillary has won. The question now is whether Bernie can use his amazing campaign as a force to reform the Democratic party? The best American model I can thin of for Bernie is Goldwater. During his campaign we all knew he would lose. My stand, however, was different. I was worried that he had fundamentally changed the Republican party. I was right.
Perhaps the real question is in something Bernie and Barry share .. a Jewish devotion to making the world a better place? Is Bernie’s goal a new Democratic Party?
