Hillary can at least count on his vote this year, dreary, uninspiring and scandalous as she may be
Milbank begins his piece by flat out saying that he adores Bernie Sanders. (Thats his word
not mine.) He then goes on to list Bernies many wonderful qualities, all of which seem to describe the ideal president for the Left. And all of that glowing adoration is strategically placed right before he drives a shiv right between poor Bernies ribs.
I agree with his message of fairness and I share his outrage over inequality and corporate abuses. I think his righteous populism has captured the moment perfectly. I respect the uplifting campaign he has run. I admire his authenticity.
And I am convinced Democrats would be insane to nominate him.
Hillary Clinton, by contrast, is a dreary candidate. She has, again, failed to connect with voters. Her policy positions are cautious and uninspiring. Her reflexive secrecy causes a whiff of scandal to follow her everywhere. She seems calculating and phony.
And yet if Democrats hope to hold the presidency in November, theyll need to hold their noses and nominate Clinton.
Thats your idea of an endorsement? Dreary
unable to connect with real people
uninspiring
secretive
scandalous. This sounds less like a political column than an unhappy husband kvetching about his mother-in-law. But hey
you should vote for her anyway!
On the odd chance that youre not familiar with the authors work, just check out the titles of some of his recent columns. Theres no question which party Milbank supports and he simply loathes Republicans. But to his credit he at least doesnt make any secret of it. Were using to seeing the media cheering for the Democrats, but far too many of them try to hide it under the guise of journalism and an effort to pretend they are portraying both sides of the issues equally. Not Dana
what you see is what you get, which is rather refreshing.
Which brings us back to my original premise. When you cant even get a rousing endorsement of the presumptive nominee from Dana, dark times have fallen on River City, my friends. But she can at least count on his vote this year, dreary, uninspiring and scandalous as she may be,
