Packing arenas with tens of thousands of screaming, adoring fans, as Sanders did, looked impressive and gave the feel that there was a real winning mass movement afoot for the candidate. But his big crowds came in cities that are majority minority, liberal or both, and not in the South, the Heartland of even GOP leaning suburbs.
The race to the presidency started back in 2015, when did you get involved? I'm seeing a lot of self-examination, lots of Democratic voters in shock and saying they didn't do enough to help her win.
Put baldly, for all of you who blame Bernie Sanders for Hillary Clinton's recent devastating loss in the election, that's foolish. Even blaming Independents and Third parties misses the core of the problem.
You rebel, you have succeeded beyond your wildest dreams. That's sexy.
Having binge-watched the news coverage of this cycle on MSNBC and CNN for the last 15 months and after reading a host of other web news sources this is my analysis of what happened in two words.
For the past eight years, America has had an African-American president. Faced with the prospect of a white woman succeeding him, America instead just elected an angry white man as president. Call it the triumph of angry white men everywhere.
The people Hillary Clinton derided as a "basket of deplorables" have spoken. They have voted out of the pain of their economic misfortune, which Clinton's branch of the Democratic Party helped engender.
Well, as I wrote all along on the innumerable occasions when the media declared the race over (see my archive link below), this presidential election...
They said they were facing an economic apocalypse, we offered “retraining” and complained about their white privilege. Is it any wonder w...
Dear President Elect Trump, Imagine my surprise late in 1989 when I received a phone call from an old banking client of mine. "Dave" I'm working for ...
"I'll take Hillary Clinton's past over any future with Donald Trump." -- Swami Beyondananda In 2016, Hillary Clinton is our standard-bearer. I fully...
There is good news to be found -- if you know where to look. It's in the conviction and courage of everyday people stepping up to move our country to higher ground. The actions these people have taken are silver linings in an election that has tested our belief in America and, at times, humanity.
They say pictures are worth one thousand words, but voting literally can be worth hundreds of billions of dollars to you. When California voters like me voted on a highly-contested insurance reform ballot measure in 1988, we could not have foreseen how much it would have saved us 28 years later.
Bernie Sanders came to Los Angeles's Pershing Square today to tell Californians not to be deceived by the $130 million drug companies have spent again...
Regardless who wins the Presidential race, the one issue that is still the most important to all Americans is the economy.
It's November 6th. I'm sitting in my apartment. As I gaze out the window my view is filled with the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Turning my eyes to the left I see the Freedom Tower. In the background I hear CNN proclaiming the Republican presidential candidate's electoral path is getting easier.
