By the way, who funds the Federalist? Does anybody here know?
BTW, all of it is sourced by other than the federalist. Much of it is on camera and in interviews. Still gonna deny what he is?
I’m not a Bernie supporter but I don’t buy your desire to create hysteria about him. I don’t hold people accountable for things they said 30 years ago.
People are held accountable for anything they said - until they are able to explain how they have changed since then.
Look, Bernie is 78. 30 years ago he was 48, a fully grown and functional man. Not a 20 year old college idiot enamored with socialist revolutions in failed communist regimes. One can forgive the latter, but not so easily the former. I do not say Bernie can't have changed his minds as he learned more about the realities of the regimes he praised and their orthodoxies but as far as I can tell he hasn't done that.
Why this is relevant is that because if he's the nominee, the Republican hit machine is going to slam him so hard on everything he's said and done 30 years ago. And they will be justified in doing so. Until Bernie explains and also explains how he's changed from the past. That's why the Democratic leadership are very concerned about Bernie wining the nomination. It doesn't matter what today's polling show - anyone is beating Trump. But when it's a real choice between two candidates, not a hypothetical match up between "any functional person versus Donald Trump," it's a very different story.
