Hillary Clinton has had enough of Bernie Sanders

Politico via Drudge

"There’s an unmistakable Groundhog Day quality to this spring campaign swing by Hillary Clinton: the chain-chugged Diet Dr Peppers, the pained rasp and crisp pantsuits — and the once-commanding lead undercut by an underdog near enough to nip at her sensible heels.

"Seventeen years ago, the underdog was Rick Lazio, a forgettable Long Island Republican with a paperboy’s face and a war chest brimming with anti-Hillary millions who gave Clinton a brief scare in a triumphant Senate race that inaugurated her electoral career. This year, the foil is independent democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, a stubborn Brooklynite with a nearly nonexistent path to the nomination and a nearly unquenchable thirst for humiliating the Democratic front-runner in her home state’s April 19 primary.

"Clinton didn’t much care for Lazio and she’s clearly arrived at the enough-already stage with Bernie." . . .

The Shallowness of Bernie Sanders

"Bernie Sanders: Deep down he is shallow. And Marxist."

Thomas Lifson; Part one:  "Bernie Sanders is genuine left wing radical, and unless he has changed since the time he was mayor of Burlington, Vermont, believes that the shared misery of impoverished-by-communism Cuba is preferable to the unequally-distributed abundance of the United States. David Horowitz and others have made the point that unless a former communist explicitly rejects his former beliefs, [you] can assume that he or she still adheres to them.

In that [context], take a [look] at [the] excerpts from Sanders television interviews of yore dug up by Michael Moynihan of the Daily Best and John Stossel, and aired on Stossel’s Fox Business Network show, showing Sanders praising bread lines as a good thing:" . . .

Thomas Lifson; Part two  The thoughts of Chairman Bernie, as expressed in the transcript of a long interview he had with the editorial board of the New York Daily News, are remarkable. For their ignorance, banality and shallowness. Michael Cohen of theBoston Globe issued a hilarious series of tweets (hat tip: Instapundit) on the exchange, including this gem:

   What comes across is a man who has a completely unsophisticated understanding of even the issues that are at the heart of his campaign

It's also evident that he is not conversant on any issue outside of income inequality & even there he just regurgitates his talking points

   For me reading this interview is shocking. I know Sanders talks in platitudes, but he seems to think in them too.

. . . "Huh? Thomas Edison had nothing to do with it? J.P. Morgan had nothing to do with it? This is Marxist magical thinking, that enterprises organize themselves, and that only workers, with no management necessary, create innovation, make efficient decisions on resource allocation, guide complex organizing efforts, designing, manufacturing, and marketing products.

"Only a Marxist believes anything like this. And adherence to this view creates poverty, bread lines, and mass misery. As communism has every time it is tried."

And if Hillary is knocked out of the nomination process and Sanders supporters demand and get him as the Democrat nominee, with Trump continuing his walk to the GOP nod, Sanders would win the presidency, according to current polling.

No matter how hard I pinch myself, I can't seem to wake up from this nightmare.
