Lede: For some Democrats, Bernie
Sanders’ latest gambit — challenging Donald Trump to a debate to cap all
debates — is the last str
“Bullshit,” said Sen. Joe
Manchin of West Virginia.
“That confirms what we’ve been saying .
. . Bernie . . . . . not a
Democrat.”
The party’s frustrations are boiling over with Sanders as the primary season winds down: Namely that Sanders seems unwilling or unable to admit that Hillary Clinton is on course for the nomination. The ire toward Sanders began earlier this year among the loudest Democratic cheerleaders for Clinton — and now it’s seeping into nearly the entire Senate Democratic.
Editor’s notes: Understand that there is as much frustration with Bernie as with Trump. Both are coming form outside the party, although one is a professional politician (Bernie) and the other is not.
The one bothersome comment in the Politico story is the claim that Trump has done nothing for the working man he claims to represent . . . . as if the Democrats have done anything for the non-union working man. But more than that, the fact remains that Trump employs thousands of folks in his 543 businesses . . . . and Bernie has his staff, and Hillary has her horde of defense lawyers.
