“No. It turns out the faculty clubs and student safe spaces of American campuses are just not big enough to nominate a president. The Democratic Party’s base consists of minorities and public employees, particularly teachers and AFSCME and all the rest. They are really serious about keeping control of the government because their livelihood depends on the government. It is a coalition of the dependent and, in fact, they do not take flings with people like Bernie Sanders. If he could campaign from Ann Arbor, Michigan, to Madison, Wisconsin, to Boulder, Colorado, to Palo Alto, he’d win, but there’s a bigger America out there.”
-George Will (author, columnist, pundit, on this past Sunday’s Fox News Sunday)
For all of the crap that Mittens took for his 47% remark in the last Prez election, it is true. Democrats are not only the Party of Big Government, they ARE the Government and certainly their constituents will do their best to be safely ensconced within that bubble. Bernie is preaching EVERYTHING FREE IN AMERICA and has whipped up the traditional Marxist class warfare everywhere he goes (and so is Hillary). But as Will notes, it isn’t that enough for the furthest Leftist candidate since George McGovern.
But for how much longer?
