Sanders campaign hatches comeback plan

Politico

BURLINGTON, Vt. — The Super Tuesday shellacking was so thorough that Bernie Sanders’ strategy changed overnight.

It had to.

The decades-long refusal to air negative TV ads is out. Spots highlighting former President Barack Obama’s praise of him are in.

After facing questions for weeks about whether Sanders would shift his message to broaden his base, Sanders’ campaign co-chair, Rep. Ro Khanna, said his candidate will work to appeal more to older voters and mainstream Democrats.

“We need to make the case that single-payer [health care] will provide long-term care, dental and vision for seniors, that our policies are pro-innovation and -economic growth,” he told POLITICO, “and that we are very proud of the accomplishments of the Democratic Party, starting from FDR, and are building an inclusive coalition to complete the New Deal.”

Sorry, but older voters are not so gullible as the young ones. And those old enough to remember the New Deal are at least 90, at best. This is ludicrous.

Complete the New Deal, indeed.
