How do people not get it by now?  This is not a normal election year. |
1. True, but I think the Bernie crowd would be more welcoming of him.
2. Clinton is very liberal. Her voting record is very close to that of Sanders. She was in the Top 10 most liberal senators during her tenure. Unfortunately her 'incremental' method conflicts with the current progressive narrative, hence her problems.
3. Won't argue against that. I prefer Warren over Kaine but it is understandable that they would want to appeal to moderate voters. Warren would not.
