Ted Rall for April 29, 2016
Transcript:
Narrator: Bernie Sanders saw this article in the Washington post. It pissed him off. Hillary Clinton: He hadn't done his homework. It raises questions. Bernie Sanders: If you want to question my qualifications, then maybe the American people might wonder about your qualifications, Madam secretary. Narrator: The media, most of which supported Hillary Clinton, immediately baked up a narrative: Sanders attacks Clinton with sexist dog whistle. Man: But she's visited 3000 countries!! How can anyone say she's unqualified? Narrator: She started it. If he points that out, however, he looks like a whiner. Rule #1 of politics: media narratives are all true. Bernie Sanders: Of course she's qualified. I was just saying...never mind.

He is good at impassioned speeches! He has been in Congress for about 25 years. If he was as good as he says he is, I would think that in a quarter century he would have got a lot of his agenda passed into law.

Both Sanders and Clinton are qualified to be president, time to get off of another non-issue and back to the political discussions, not the make-em-up teapublican tempests. Sanders hopes to win, Clinton hopes to win. There have been many young voters who have come out with excitement for this election. They want to make our country a better place, there is a lot of hope for our country. Sanders and Clinton are not going to turn on each other like the Republicans, they won’t sink down to that level.

Sanders is probably the only American politician who doesn’t read himself to sleep every night with Niccolò Machiavelli’s “The Prince”.

Ted LindSanders’ main value is in getting bipartisan support for progressive amendments to bills that became law, rather than proposing entire bills with no chance of getting by the elephants. A little online research will find them. They take up a couple of pages in 11 point type.
