I Keep Hearing That If Bernie Wins The Nomination He Won't Be Able To Defend Against The Money.....
that would be used against him by the Repugs and their billionaire donors.
Here's where I think the pundits are wrong.
Bernie is running a very clean, positive and truthful campaign that is resonating with The America People. If the Repugs start attacking Bernie - in a sense they would be attacking The American People - the very people that would have made Bernie the nominee. Once the negative attacks on Bernie would begin - the American People would further rally around Bernie in that case.
The American People are fed up with the old politics of negativity and attacks.
That is one of the reasons they are gravitating to Bernie and on the Repug side traditional Repugs are gravitating to Trump.
Trump admits that the system is broken. That he bought politicians to do what he wanted them to. He admits that he can't be bought because of his wealth. He's his own man.
In the end it will be his money that will do Trump in. Trump - no matter what he says - is still a member of that 1%, Bernie gets his support from The American People - the 99% and that will take Bernie to the WH.
All bets are off for 2016. That's why the pundits and the campaign people are befuddled in dealing with the likes of Bernie and Trump. It does not follow the old patterns of races past. New paths are being formed and because they've never encountered these before - they're almost afraid of every decision they make (the campaigns that is) because they don't know how it will play with The American People.
They can't just change directions in mid stream (flip flop) or have their candidate say things like "I misspoke". This just doesn't work any more. The American People have their number and won't tolerate those old tactics.
The candidate that looks good and resonates with The American People is the one that has remained true to his principles throughout his career. One that doesn't need to run things past a focus group. One that doesn't need to flip flop on issues.
And that candidate is Bernie.
What's the old saying - that if you lie and bend the truth that you begin to trip up on yourself because even you can't remember what is fact from fiction.
Well Bernie doesn't have that problem. He's been a straight shooter all his career and he doesn't spend time in the fiction world of campaign politics.
Right now some of The American People have gotten that message. Every day more and more of them are coming to the same conclusions. That's why Bernie's momentum is building.
Needless to say this is going to be a very interesting campaign and it's going to make an excellent book after the election.
