Donna Brazile's article published in Politico earlier today is one of the most important things written in 2017 when it comes to political impact going forward. Many have pointed out that she's a know liar (true), and have also questioned her motivations for writing this blockbuster article. While it's important to acknowledge these things, they aren't particularly relevant when it comes to impact.
Before he lost the rigged Democratic primary to Hillary Clinton (only to become her sad mascot in the subsequent months), Bernie Sanders was actually speaking some truth to voters.
A perfect example of that can be seen in the following clip from an MSNBC town hall where he responds to a supporter’s question about whether he should vote for Hillary if she wins the primary.
Enjoy.

While it might sound strange, a coronation of Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary will mark the end of the party as we know it. There’s been a lot written about the “Sanders surge,” with much of it revolving around Hillary Clinton’s extreme personal weakness as a candidate. While this is indisputable, it’s also a convenient way for the status quo to exempt itself from fault and discount genuine grassroots anger. I’m of the view that Sanders’ support is more about people liking him than them disliking Hillary, particularly when it comes to registered Democrats.
