HuffPost says Bernie will get the trifecta and thensome !! !!

[Duckfan]

Bernie Sanders will win the first four contests of the 2016 Democratic Primary for the same reasons he won the endorsements 170 economists, MoveOn.org and The Nation. Furthermore, Sanders dominated the latest Democratic debate because he's never had to evolve from a conservative vantage point, towards a progressive stance. Hillary Clinton voted for the Iraq War (calling it a "mistake&quot , pushed for the Trans Pacific Partnership 45 times, recently supported sending U.S. ground troops to fight ISIS, and accepted money from prison lobbyists.

Yes, prison lobbyists.

Clinton was "inclined" to greenlight the Keystone XL pipeline and a spokesman from the environmental group 350 Action once stated, "If the pipeline goes through, she'll shoulder part of the blame..."

On foreign policy, one leading historian believes a Hillary Clinton White House will espouse a "neocon" foreign policy.

On gun legislation in 2008, The New York Times wrote that Clinton had portrayed herself to be a "Pro-Gun Churchgoer." Barack Obama even stated, "She's talking like she's Annie Oakley...that's some politics being played by Hillary Clinton."

On Wall Street, POLITICO labeled Clinton Wall St. Republicans' dark secret.

Thus, on major issues, there's only one Democrat running in 2016. Once Bernie Sanders wins Iowa and New Hampshire, his chances of winning Nevada and especially South Carolina will increase exponentially. As stated by South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn in The Washington Post, "If [Sanders] comes out of Iowa and New Hampshire with big victories...if he comes out of there with big victories, hey, man, it could very well be a new day..."

1. I tend to take H A Goodman with a pinch of salt

I don't want to sound like the Clinton supporters with their "Paulbot" smears, but I do find that his predictions tend to be based on wishful thinking rather than actual data.

4. Wow...took 5 minutes to come to that conclusion and post. I'm tired of hearing smack

about a journalist just because he leans a bit more left than most. And I've heard it before. Anytime someone makes a statement, then adds a "but", it is disingenuous, IMO.

"I do find that his predictions tend to be based on wishful thinking rather than actual data." That was the message.

5. This isn't the first article by Goodman I've read

I don't have a problem with him leaning left. I do have a problem with the lack of substance in his articles. The one linked to in the OP is a case in point. It's all over the map, but it never offers real reasons why Bernie will win in South Carolina and Nevada. It basically amounts to "Bernie will win because Bernie is awesome". If there are actual polls or any other data showing him gaining on Hillary in those states, then Goodman doesn't mention them. That's why I find it hard to take him seriously.

6. I think he's the only writer that leans Bernie...most of the MSM ignore him...at least

until lately. I've read so many articles that don't even mention Bernie and praise HRC. He kind of stands out, to be sure.

7. I think there are better writers than him that support Bernie

Matt Taibbi and Charles Pierce spring to mind. I've lost some respect for Chris Hedges since he started attacking Bernie for not being left-wing enough! He sounds like a Common Dreams commenter now.

8. I especially like Charles Pierce, and I see your point.

2. When We Stand Together - No Citizen Need Settle For The Lesser Of Two Corporate Evils - Go Bernie Go

3. I agree! Wins in Iowa and NH will send Bernie's poll numbers through the roof!

He'll win Nevada and those three wins will give him SC.



PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
