As Hillary Clinton falters and Bernie Sanders surges, Democratic Party leaders are beginning to panic. “If party leaders see a scenario next winter where Bernie Sanders has a real chance at the Democratic nomination,” Garnet Coleman, a Democratic national committee man told the N.Y. Times, “leaders will reach out to Vice President Biden or Secretary of State Kerry or even Gore about entering the primaries.”
Wait a minute. Didn’t Biden, Kerry, and Gore all lose in their presidential bids? If Bernie continues to gain ground, Party leaders would be wise to embrace him rather than run away from him. If the Democratic Party has a future, it will look and sound a lot more like Bernie Sanders than establishment candidates. After all, even when Democrats had the White House and a majority in Congress -- during Obama’s first two years and also during Bill Clinton’s first two years -- they still allowed big corporations, Wall Street, and billionaires to plunder our economy and pillage our democracy.

The TRUTH will set you FREE.
